1995 BMW M3. Previously owned/built by BJ Birtwell in San Diego California.
Car was featured in Eurotuner in Sept. '04, also a dtm power.net feature car. There is somewhere north of $25K invested into this car not to mention the cost of the car itself. I have personally put 9K into it in the last 2yrs and it’s close to being perfect again, just needs some interior pieces. Engine, bodywork, and most suspension components have 22,xxx miles them, many parts even newer since the 2yrs I’ve owned it. Chassis currently has 122,xxx miles and it is solid. Vortech V2 s/c freshly rebuilt with new bearings, seals- less than a thousand miles on it and all oil lines, etc. It has been meticulously maintained under my ownership.
Let’s start with some pics and then the mod-list if I can remember all of them.
^Maya STM’s not included, comes with BBS CH’s. ^Now has OMP black suede racing wheel, pic available. EVO II wheel (pictured) available if not sold yet.
I have MANY, many pictures of this car online at the following location, feel free to browse. http://www.distrustful.org/M3

I know I am probably forgetting a few things as well. I will do my best to answer any questions. Many of the modifications were done by the previous owner but I no doubt know a lot about the car. It is very fast and has been dyno’d at 400+whp (see [URL=http://www.siastuning.com/BJProject.htm]Sias Tuning link[/URL]). I am only selling because I want to improve my living situation and summer is coming to an end up here. The car is truly one-of-a-kind and gets a ton of compliments. I have just been nickeling-and-diming myself over the summer improving it and just don’t have the funds/time remaining to repair the shifter bushings, car alarm, and door panels so I am posting it for sale to assess interest. Shipping can be arranged, I think it is about ~$750-800 for uncovered; ~$1200 covered to ship it from Mpls to SoCal to give you an idea, if you’re seriously interested I can get you an exact quote.
I am going to ask what I feel is a reasonable price at $25K or best offer, plus shipping if need-be. I have been told to ask more but I feel it has been worth my money invested. WILL ENTERTAIN ALL SERIOUS OFFERS. Thanks for reading all of this. Feel free to PM me or email me at [email]rageh0e@hotmail.com[/email]
Please do not reply to this post unless you have a DAMN good reason to, will respond to PM's ASAP.
