When I bought my M3, the PO told me it had been wrecked by the original owner back in 1989. The Carfax report verified this. As I tore into the car I found that most of the front end was replacement sheetmetal. However I got a nasty surprise yesterday when I tried to install my driveshaft. The driveshaft center support bearing wouldn't fit. The distance between the two bolt holes in the floor is greater than the distance between the slots in the bearing. This car must have taken quite a hit! That explains why I only paid $7500 for it. While I was laying there scrtaching my head, I remembered wondering why the old bolt slots had been cut out when I took the car apart last year. I wonder what's going to happen when I try to get this thing aligned? I am happy that it is a ZERO rust car though...none.
Oh well.
Oh well.
