Well the unthinkable has come
I bought this car about two years ago from Texas. It took me about 5 months to find the exact one I wanted. It needed to be a well maintained, summer state only, estoril blue on black or mulberry, 98.5+ M3. I flew out and bought the car, car was stock when I purchased it.
I never intended on selling this car, but lately I feel like I never get to drive the car and it’s time to buy a small house or a condo. So my baby has to go
Details
- Late 1998 BMW M3 2dr coupe
- 72,XXX unmolested miles
- Estoril blue exterior
- Rare mulberry interior
- 5-speed manual
- Electric vaders
- Original M3 spoiler
- Harmon Kardon sound system
- VIN: WBSBG9336WEY79653
History
The first owner of this car was located in the Dallas, Texas area. He ordered the car from Classic BMW in Dallas. All the work was performed at classic BMW and I have receipts from all of it. I think as the warranty was coming to an end, he decided to sell the car. The second owner was an older gentleman from Plano Texas and purchased an extended warranty through classic BMW and also had everything done there. I have a ton of receipts with many major maintenance repairs. As his extended warranty was coming to an end, he decided to sell the car. That’s when I found it and bought it. The car had 66,000 miles on it when I purchased it.
So this M3 was purchased and maintained at Circle BMW in Dallas Texas for most of its life. Circle BMW is filled with a group of very customer friendly staff and knowledgeable technicians and it really shows on this pristine M3. It has lived a great life.
Condition
- The exterior on the car is pretty much perfect. NOT one ding anywhere on the car. Few rock chips here and there but very minimal
- Interior is in great condition. The driver bolster is showing slight wear, but also minimal.
Modifications (all have about 4,000 miles on them, put close to $7,000 into the car)
Performance
- Shark injector software
- Cosmos racing cold air intake
- Stromung exhaust
- Understeer short shift kit with modified selector rod
- Stainless Steel brake lines all around
Exterior
- 18x8.5 CSL rims
- 245/35/18 Goodyear eagle F1 tires (about 3,000 miles)
- European clear light all around the car
- 35% tint all around. The rear window was starting to bubble so I took the tint off, but will have new tint installed shortly
- Blacked out front grill
Suspension
- Ground Control track/school kit with 450/550 spring rates
- Ground Control camber plates
- Carbon Fiber front strut bar
- Racing dynamics rear strut bar
- UUC front and rear sway bars (only rear installed)
- Rouge Engineering rear camber arms
- Urethane subframe bushings (less then 1,000 ago)
- Urethane rear trailing arm bushings (less then 1,000 ago)
- BMW X-brace
- I also put urethane tranny mounts on the car, but put the stock ones back in because they made the whole car vibrate.
Maintenance
- The first two owners did ALL of the work at the same dealership the car was bought at. They have kept all of the maintenance records and I have them in a binder.
I did quite a bit of work on the car also
- Replaced the subframe and trailing arm bushings with urethane about 1,000 miles ago
- Routine oil changes every 3 months with mobile 1 10w30 full synthetic and bmw oil filters. I say 3 months because, 3 months came way faster then 3k miles
- Flushed transmission with Red Line fluid less then 1,000 miles ago
- Flushed differential with Red Line fluid less then 1,000 miles ago
- Replaced all the belts
- Replaced the thermostat and housing
- Also did a complete coolant flush with BMW coolant
- Replaced rear wheel bearings less then 1,000 miles ago
- When I was installing the stainless steel brake lines I also flushed the brake fluid with racing fluid. Also done less then 1,000 miles ago.
There is NOTHING wrong with the car. It has been a babied weekend cruiser all of its life. I took the car to two auto crosses and that’s about it. I never drove this car in rain and put it away last winter and took it out this summer.
Yes I know that you can get a e36 m3’s all day for cheaper, but try finding a unabused, tastefully modified, estoril on mulberry, meticulously maintained one for anywhere near that.
My asking price is......Time to GO! $20,000 FIRM
