got any interior pics?

[GTS Jeff]

Oh wow, very interested. This car is just like another one I was interested in. TNation was selling that car, but he got banned.

A few questions for you:

-those don't look like real M5 wheels. Are they knockoffs?
-how is the car "professionally lowered?" What parts were used? Who was the professional who did it?
-I think you made a mistake with the side view mirrors. M3 mirrors look like this. Is that a typo on your part or are you trying to mislead buyers?
http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f340/EEEEeeee36/M-Technic%20Other%20Products/M3-mirror-1.jpg

-what exactly is an M3 windshield and how is it different from any 3-series windshield? Extra downforce?
-can I get a close up of the dent on the hood as well please?
-those aren't M3 sideskirts or rear bumper either are they?

Thanks for answers Kent Foster...I look forward to buying your car!

Hey nice car. Just have a few questions if you don't mind :)

Mods: I'm not trying to be a prick, just asking a few questions about stuff I find questionable. They all relate to the car directly and might help potential buyers (like my friend who I'm posting for) clarify some things.

Do you have any closer pictures of the header? Kind of hard to see in that pic.

What does "professionally lowered" mean? Was it lowered by a shop? Is it on springs or coilovers? What brand etc?

Are these not installed yet? The ones in the pictures don't look like m3 mirrors, m3 ones look like this as far as I know:

Some interior pics would be nice :) All I really see is an m3 front bumper, and door mouldings. I don't think those are m3 sideskirts, that doesn't really look like an m3 rear bumper either, and that rear "///m"badge looks like the ebay one with a "3" stuck beside it. Does the car have the m3 seats, floormats, shiftknob, cluster, etc inside?

What brand is the high quality windsheild? I really have no clue why the m3 windsheild would be different from other 3 series cars, but I'd love to find out if you'd care to explain.

Did you purchase this car off another member that goes by the alias TNation? If so, what have you done to the car since it's purchase to justify the price increase?

Also, did the car originally come from the east? How many km are on the chassis and motor?


Thanks for your time.

wow, never seen a sale ruined by the second post before :rofl:

[86max]

Oops, it seems another interested buyer beat me to asking a few questions! I spent too long writing it! Curse my two finger typing!

Hey guys thanks for all the interest so far! I actaully traded the car with TNation a couple weeks ago for my winter SUV which i was trying to sell to pay for school. I picked the car up becuase I figured it would be easier to sell than my QX4, which wasnt getting to much attention. I have been really busy with school and basically put exactly what TNation had on his add for the vehicle. The vehicle has aftermarket M5 wheels and all are wrapped with either new or very new rubber, the vehicle DOES NOT have M3 side view mirrors, the M3 windshield is made from a special tempered glass more resistant to chipping and cracking. As I said I just got the vehicle and relaly dont know a whole lot about it, if an interested buyer really needs some information I can get a hold of Tyler to hopefully answer any questions. Here are a few more pics of the interior and some of the aftermarket M3 parts including the M3 side skirts. The vehicle was professionally lowered by a licensed BMW mechanic.

Hi, thanks for the extra pictures, but I'm wondering why you won't answer my questions regarding the non M3 sideskirts, rear bumper, the hood dent, and what parts the car was lowered with. Lowering can be as cheap as a $50 spring hack or as expensive as a $3000 set of coilovers, so it's important to know. And you didn't really answer why the price went up either...

Also, you alluded to new or nearly new tires, so does this mean the tires are mismatched?

And I'm also wondering about the engine. I don't know much about BMW engine codes, so I'm wondering if this is the M3 engine.

Thanks.

Oh yeah, one final question. Why were your previous accounts tills and R34-crazy banned?

[1-Bar]

To all potential buyers, I've seen this car in person. The wheels are M5 reps for sure, no M3 body kit either....And as for the timing belt replacement, I thought these motors used a timing chain :dunno:

This is definitely getting more sketchy...

Thanks for answering my questions, seller, but I'll pass.

[1-Bar]

^yessir, there is also a front lip spoiler that is missing as well.

[icecreamvan]

I am interested but I don't like that colour. Can you repaint it?

[doggystyle]

conditionally sold.
and wow icecreamvan I really hope that wasnt a seriouse question.

bump sale fell trough

[bobby_lu]

Any rust?

looks like some bubbling near the sidemarker?

[doggystyle]

the hood has a couple small rock chips and the roof has one chip that has started to rust. Not noticeable unless you are actually looking for it though.

[doggystyle]

bump $14000 obo!

[Thehonger8]

Nice ride is this tnations old car? if so i think you might have gotten ripped off, with misleading information. is the hood dented? or bubbling?

[The Cosworth]

How many KM and also wondering about some of the questions GTS Jeff asked, more specifically why the price hike and if you know who did the lowering
