PRICE IS $7800 Up for sale is my 1997 M3 coupe, 5 speed- fantastic mechanical condition and a super rare color combo. It has an extensive service history.
It has been serviced at dealerships for most of its life, and I have a 1" folder to prove it. There is probably over $8k in things that have been replaced within the last few thousand miles... pretty much everything these cars need has been addressed. The car literally needs NOTHING done mechanically. Drive it as is for another 50k without issue.

Interior:
Heated manual Vaders in Magma leather. I've searched around, but could not find a single other car with this combo. I'd give the interior a 7/10. No tears, noticable stains, or funky odors. Bolsters are all still solid, the drivers' understandably has lost some color. Split folding rear seats, no arm rest. The OBC works, but the temperature is wrong because the temp sensor wasn't hooked up when the front bumper was repainted by PO. The cluster is dim all the way on the bottom where the mileage is, but otherwise all lights fully working.
Mechanical:
I’ve taken this car on a number of road trips and it runs strong. Does not pull to any side, is extremely planted, clutch engages properly and the shifter is very precise (no play). As I mentioned earlier, I'd trust this car for another 50k without worry- and I wouldn't have to think twice about a cross country trip.
Body:
It has no dents, but lots of little dings. The left side of the car is probably 9/10, but the right side has a series of weird indents underneath the passenger door handle. The hood has a 6" scrape under the roundel that goes to the primer, and some more dings. The passenger side of the front bumper is a bit saggy (1cm), can't say I know why. And finally- there is currently a black rear bumper on the car. The 2nd PO had the original bumper repainted for chips (hence meticulously taken care of)... but got fed up and just threw a black one on the 2nd time around. I personally did not notice this when I bought the car until it was pointed out to me since Techno Violet is so dark already.
Price:
The price is $7800. Tire kickers, please go elsewhere. A plane ticket is $150-200 from just about anywhere, so fly in to Cleveland and drive it back home anywhere with full confidence. Call me at 330-414-0478 to set up a viewing. I am not a dealer, this is my own car.
