No Longer For Sale

For sale is my 2004 BMW M3 Convertible.I just purchased this car in Feb. and I am the 3rd owner.The car is located in central Alabama and previous owners were in Oregon and Texas.Below will be a very honest description of the car with pictures and videos as well as a link to over 100 pictures.The car has a clean Carfax with no accidents.

Quick Description:

All software updated

New Vanos Filter and O rings

I recently took the car to the local dealership for an inspection and the only "problem" they saw was the power steering hose was seeping but they said it did not need to be replaced yet.(now replaced)The hose is about $150 from Tischer and it is the high pressure hose.The subframe was fine and the valves did not need to be adjusted yet according to them.I have also lubed the convertible top using the method here on the forum so it operates very smoothly.

Detailed Description:
Paint 7.5/10
The paint has great gloss and color but does have minor surface scratches and a few more noticeable deeper scratches on the rear bumper.I detail cars on the side and have polished the car and also applied Klasse sealant.I noticed while polishing that a previous detailer did cut through the clearcoat on the drivers side behind the door. I was able to fix most of it but it is still noticeable at the right angle.I also noticed evidence of paintwork even though the car has a clean carfax with no accidents.It seems the front and rear bumpers have been repainted but only for cosmetic reasons such as rock chips.The car does have a clear bra on the front.

Interior 9/10
The interior looks great.The only 2 places of interest are the bottom of the drivers seat and the stitching on the drivers bolster.I have taken close up pictures of both and neither are very noticeable unless pointed out.There are a few minor scratches in the center console and door below climate control but when cleaned are also barely noticeable.No tears in leather or carpet.Non smoker also.

Overall the car is awesome and turns heads where ever I go.I am only considering selling because I have found a piece of land/lot that we would like to purchase and the M3 is a third car and not daily driven.Please feel free to contact me.Now on with the pictures.

I do have a loan on the car so any purchase will need to involve my bank.

I haven't seen you either. I actually live in Prattville and work in Montgomery and only drive the M3 occasionally.
