Hey guys, well I think this time I am really letting her go. She's been great to me and I have invested lots of time and money into her.

Asking price was $5500 now is reduced to $3700, please only serious inquiries. The car is worth every penny of it but will listen to reasonable offers.

About 230k miles, cluster shows 155k because I changed it when the LCD stopped working. Also she she is a 5 speed (forgot to mention on title)

Some of the mods done:
-M3 front brake conversion with kingpins.
-Bilsteins sport hd shocks
-H&R sport springs
-e36 M3 strut tower reinforcements
-Midnight tuning ECU software upgrade
-e28 3.46 LSD
-e36/e46 M3 motor mounts
-e36 M3 square setup DS1's
-Depo ellipsoid headlights w glass lens
-BMW M3 corner lights
-Original BMW euro stop lights
-e36 M3 front bumper
-e39 M5 rear lip spoiler
-e36 three point M3 steering wheel
-e36 M3 shifter knob
-e36 face lifted grills
-New headliner
-6 cd BMW alpine cd changer
-Original BMW alarm (broken remote) but I know works.

Some of the maintenance done:
-Valve cover/spark plug seals with new bolts as well.
-New spark plugs
-Engine oil changed with German Castrol 0-30 every 6k miles
-Transmission oil changed with mobile one synthetic ATF once a year.
-BMW saf-xj differential fluid every year
-Radiator fan
-New radiator hoses
-New transmission mounts
-New starter
-New fuel pump
-New fuel filter
-New AC compressor, dryer, and expansion valve
-New water pump
-New thermostat
-New cylinder lock key and housing
-New intake boot
-Oil filter housing gasket replaced
-New clutch slave cylinder replaced
-Brake and clutch fluid replaced with ate super blue
-Front O2 sensor replaced (original)
-Cabin filter replaced
-Engine air filter replaced
-New belt tensioners and rollers
-New strut mounts
-All speakers have been replaced with original BMW units
-Door panel clips mods (trust me they ain't falling)
-Drivers/passenger window sliders replaced and re-greased.

Might have left something out but that seems like its most of it.

The engine compression is dead on, has no oil leaks. The transmission has a slight leak but every year when I change the oil it seems to be at optimum level so it must be a slow leak.

The AC system is leaking freeon and have detected it at the evap core, I purchased an original evap core from bmw and will go with the car to whomever purchases the car I just have not have not had time to replace this.
It is a slow leak, it usually takes a small can every two or three months.

The paint could use some loving, the clear coat towards the back and the roof of the car is starting to peel off.

I think the most needed things to replace on this car is the front control arms, lcabs, and new tires.

Has been daily driver since I purchased but have put on about 13k miles per year on average.

This car could serve as a track car or daily driver. I wanted everything to be functional so that it can be a perfect daily driver and also a track car for the weekend if needed. The car has absolutely no rust anywhere. All the gears go in smoothly. People that see or drive it have always been baffled by how old it is but shocked by how well she drives.

Thanks! It sucks I have to let her go but I am taking a job that requires a lot more driving and space. Besides I need an automatic car for the duty (I do not enjoy auto cars). But it is what it is, I know I'll be back and when I do, an s52 will be in order which is what I wanted to do to her to be fully completed.
