Those who know me know how hard it is for me to do this, but I need to list my baby for sale.

This is a mint condition 2 owner 2003 M3, Individual Sterling Gray/Black Nappa Leather. It was ordered brand new from Advantage BMW Midtown, Houston, TX and was ordered in a rare Individual Program Sterling Gray Metallic paint option (code: 472). The car is a 9/02-Build 2003 year model and spent its entire life in Houston, TX up until the HPF Build which was installed at HPFs headquarters in Portland, Ore at the end of 2009. Since then it has had ~5k miles put on the car in Maryland. Total mileage on car is 86k miles but motor was basically new at 81k miles.

This car has seen countless man-hours and funds pampering it. There has been no eating, drinking or smoking in the car. The exterior has been hand detailed regularly and looks incredible.

The interior is virtually brand new. The original seats were replaced with brand new to upgrade to the width adjustable option. The rear seats are still in excellent condition. Additional new leather replacements include the armrest, shift knob, shift boot, steering wheel, front door panel armrests and rear side panel armrests.

Pump Gas on street tires. First run of the day.


Asking price is $42,000. This is truly a special car. It looks better then new and made 698whp on Race/Meth map. You can drive it all day long as if it were stock and average 29mpg. This car has never given me one issue. Not one. I have driven it in 110 degree heat and the needle hasn't budged past the halfway mark. This is truly an exceptional vehicle that has seen the best in care and parts since brand new.

DISCLOSURES
-Rear View Auto-Dimming Mirror - The rear view mirror has a bubble and it no longer auto-dims. Doesn't bother me so haven't replaced it.
-Ding -- One ding is on the right rear fender bulge. It can only be seen in certain light and is very small.
-Headlight Lenses - Have minor cracks at the very bottom center of each lense (see pix). The lenses look brand new b/c within the first 200 miles they were covered with Expel protective film. The cracks can't be felt and were not caused by road debris, it's the same spot on both sides.
-*Stonegard is crazing - It can be seen up close. It's been on since new and served its purpose well as protective armor from road debris. It hasn't bothered me as it is still protecting the car.

If you would like more pictures or information, please contact me at adiflix@yahoo.com. Thanks much.

Edit: Yes, I am over my tire shine fetish! lol. And might be interested in trade + cash. Really need a family vehicle but could be open to other options.

It a super fast car. Why the need to cheat on the 1/4 mile video. The driver pretty much did a head start running timing the light to get better times and faster speed trap.

LMAO...yup on street tires I was shooting for the best times I could get. That is hilarious. I could give a **** about my times that day or getting a "head start running timing the light." My main goal that day was 60-130 times.
