Hi guys, here's a few shots of my m3 before I sell up for something a bit easier on thew wallet.
I've had this girl for 1.5 years now and have spent thousands on it, all as it needs now is a bit of body work to make it mint. I bought this knowing there was somthing up with it, It was imported into Ireland in 2004(ish) with 24K on it, a 3.0 engine, estroil blue paint and on a 96 plate. It was almost mint and drove like it should so I went ahead with the sale.
After a few months of owning it I decided to find out for sure what the history was. I soon found out it was on a Q plate in the UK and after tracing the engine number, I found the engine was from a crashed 95 coupe and was reshelled into a donor shell and given a full estroil blue bare shell respray. I found out it was bare shell after stripping the interior and everything and couldn't find the orgional colour. I only found out out it was boston green after I had a bump on the passenger side and found traces underneath the paint on both passengers doors.
The drive train, brakes, arms, shocks, etc are all m3 so it was done properly, and was maintained by Munsters BMW specialist (Bavarian Auto Technik: Home) with tonnes of receipts from 24k right up to 70k so I knew it had been looked after.
It drives like an m3, feels like an m3, everything about it is m3 and most importantly it goes like an m3.
I'll regret selling this but I've had enough of paying this poxy goverment the 1200euro road tax per year! At leasth the NCT (MOT) lasts 2 years down here!
