Engine: ~25-30k mi
Bought a new truck, have to let this one go.
Bought this car back in 10/2009 from Racewerks (euro car shop that specialized in bimmers) in Virginia Beach, Va. I have done no mods to the car except regular maintenance and drive to work. No autox, track, street racing, etc.
No rust nor leaks.
Clean title in hand.
Carfax has an accident report on the car on 11/09. I was on my way home from work. Had to replace bumper, hood, right front fender and passenger headlight. No frame damage. While it was at the shop I had them remove minor rust by the windows and repainted the car Supra White.
Mods
Engine
99 M52B28 (was rebuilt by Racewerks when they did the swap)
Getrag 5 spd transmission (shifts like new)
3.73 LSD
M3 flywheel/clutch
M3 Cams
M50 Intake Manifold
3" Intake
Hi flow cat
Custom exhaust (throaty and not loud)
Active Autowerks tune
Suspension
5 Lug 99 M Coupe conversion (HUGE brakes, smallest rims that fit are 17")
Ground Control Track/School coilovers
GC Rear Shock Mounts
GC Race Camber Plates
Treehouse racing control arm bushings
SS Brake Lines
ASA AR1 17x8 40et with 235/40/17 tires (~5k mi on tires)
Wheel Spacers
Battery relocated to spare tire well
Car alarm
Power windows, power steering, manual moon roof works and doesn't leak
Love the blue sideview mirrors on these cars, great visibility
Bad:
Glove box won't open (very common for these cars, folder of car's history is in there) I'll try to fix this without breaking the glove box.
Odometer stopped at 172011 mi (got another cluster from junkyard) Will fix when I have the time to research. I like to take my time and not break more things.
No ebrake because of 5 lug conversion
Left high beam headlight is out (Will replace both high beam headlights when I remember to buy some on my home from work)
Radio works, but need code (battery died while I was on deployment)
No a/c
Squeaks when cold in cold days, but it's gone after the car warms up
No rear seat belts (it was made for the track so it was replaced with racing harnesses)
EDIT:
Forgot a couple things and remembered when someone asked the right question lol.
-Wheel shimmy at highway speeds. Steering wheel shakes a little, drives straight though. Haven't had time to figure it out.
Only silver paint left in the car is the interior, engine bay, inside of trunk, and driver door window frame (not the whole door). Door jambs, etc were painted.
-I'll try to find that picture underneath of the car for those wanting the undercarriage condition of the car.
-Window switch sucks, but still works great (it's old, waddya expect lol, it doesn't have that clicking action). Really common for these cars. People usually replace them with E36 window switches.
-Driver power window works, but barely turns the sideview mirrors. Gears are probably worn. It stays there, never have to keep adjusting.
SOLD. SOLD. SOLD.
