I purchased this car about 4 months ago from a client who had not given it the care it deserved. But I could see beneath the neglect a car with tons of potential including a freshly built VSR motor. This is the strongest 2.3L S14 I have ever driven. This car feels faster than my previous 2.3L S14 E10. No rattles, No funny noises, No surprises. This is as close as it gets to driving a new E30M3 . I recently drove this car to "At the Vintage" in Winston Salem N.C. 2400 miles round trip and it didn't miss a beat. I fell in love with this car on that trip and it pains me to sell it but I have 2 M3s and one has to go. I've spent the last 4 months bringing it back to where it should be. Its not complete (a/c etc) but I'm out of time and need to move it. With the exception of the radio this is close to an unmolested car that drives like new. I would encourage a potential buyer to fly in , See this car in the flesh and drive it anywhere in the USA. I've tried to describe this car honestly in both text and pics.

Issues
- power mirrors do not work

properly. This is minor as far as cowl rust goes. Id describe this
more as paint bubbling. Please see pics - Wheels ... While these wheels are straight and true and look great
from 5 feet they deserve to be refinished. As you can see in the pics
they are perfectly presentable but up close they are not up to the
standards of the car itself. - Stock 15" baskets avail should buyer desire them
- Passenger side high beam has cracked lens
- Passenger front side marker missing
