Putting out a feeler to see if there is interest in this car. I have owned it since winter of this year. ~200K on the clock. Driveline is solid, car shifts smoothly and corners very nicely. A good, solid daily driver with a documented maintenance history.

Background:

The previous owner, who did a excellent job baselining the car, wrote up a very nice summary here earlier this year, which I am taking the liberty of posting as it contains a good and accurate rundown with pictures of the overall condition and recent maintenance done on the car.

Highlights:

Slicktop
One owner car up until last year, original owner's maintenance log since new
Hellrot paint in decent shape
Stock exhaust replaced with Remus catback
New plugs
3.45 LSD with new Powerflex bushing
Valve cover and OFH gaskets replaced
H&R struts/springs in the front, Bilsteins in the rear
Fresh transmission and differential fluids
MAF and throttle body recently cleaned
New alternator 2015
New battery 2014
Thermostat, upper/lower radiator hoses and belts in 2013
Power steering reservoir and hoses replaced in 2009
Car received regular (on average every two years) coolant changes per original owner's maintenance log

What the car will need:

Brake pad sensor light is on due to severed brake sensor wire in the front
Light rust (quarter sized) at front jacking points (nothing structural), PO wirewheeled and undercoated to stabilize
Usual BMW headliner sag
Car is running on stock steelies (sizing is 185/65R 15), not the Type 2s pictured in the write-up above. Will need fresh tires soon and an alignment.
Car should receive a brake fluid change as well.
Car (predictably) just developed a misfire which I have not yet had time to address, but will be remedied before any sale occurs.

Car will convey with maintenance records, M3 steering wheel (stock wheel currently swapped back on to the car), and a set of e39 fitment Borbets with snows.
