115000 miles

std evo 2 specs which includes:

chin spoiler

half leather interior silver/grey
220 bhp high compression engine 11.1
motorsport colour rocker cover and plenum
thinner lightweight rear quarter glass and rear screen
lightweight bumpers
brake ducts in their place
std 264/248 evo 2 cams
lightened flywheel
3.15 diff
std 16" wheels
also
NO !! aircon

mods
weichers stut brace (same as jon`s one actually)
carbon fibre airbox and alpha N not yet fitted and might not actually get fitted now if i get another car for track use

Bought as a working car needing work, a bit of a light project for me. I still have plenty to do but it already runs much better than it did and currently receiving some body attention.

pics (ps I dont care about the no. plate shown as the car is stored away from registered address)

nope, silver/grey half leather - std evo 2 seats

cars always look nice in pics but it still needs work. It doesn`t have front carpet at the moment for example, and the front seats could do with a retrim at some point and both seats move very slightly so there`s a bit of wear in the mechanism (both seats are bolted down well so it`s not that)

here`s a pic of the rear seats

Before this M3 I owned another which I kept for 4.5 years and drove for nearly 60k miles!!! It was a fantastic car

Simon, if those wheels are from a 8 Series, I'll be interested in them if they don't go with the car.
