I have too many projects now, so it is time to let one go. This has been a great car, but it needs some minor things that I just don't have time for. It runs great, has low miles and everything is within the ability of a casual DIYer.

The good:

- Downing Atlanta super charger kit with about 60k miles. Nose cone was rebuilt about 6000 miles ago with a kit from Eaton and last time I had it off the coating on the rotors looked good.
- NickG Stage 2 tuned.
- Upgraded front brakes from a E46. Newish Brembo 300mm vented rotors.
- Low miles. About 105k.
- Interior is extremely clean. Never been smoked in, and I always took good care of it.
- The grey milpoint seats have minimal wear, because I am good about not dragging my ass across the side bolsters when I get in.
- Aftermarket aluminum shift knob. (Clearcoat is pealing on it thought. )
- Headliner was replaced with black ultra-suede (there is some fading where the sun shines through the window but it is out of view of the driver though.)
- other than a tiny door ding on the passenger fender, the body is in perfect shape
- AC blows cold.
- Aftermarket M3 mirrors.
- 5 speed manual. Shifts smooth and no problems.
- M-Tech Sport Package.
- Alpine CD player
- have all originals except radio that was given away

The bad:

- Needs new rtabs and I think tie rod bushings are worn because there is some shimmy in front. everything is original, so plan on replacing some rubber bits on the suspension.
- Needs tires.
- Has a slight coolant leak. it looks like it is the plastic nipple that is on the back side of the engine. the super charger may need to come out to get to it.
- Paint on one of the wheels is bad due to brake dust.
- The clutch slips under hard acceleration and it always has since I put the supercharger on.
- There is a hum from the differential. I have a replacement with 120k that the previous owner claims is good that I will include with the sale.
- The plastic trim piece under the windshield wipers was removed because it was cracking and I haven't got around to replacing it yet.
- Door speakers speakers don't sound good.
- tiny crack on driver side tail-light.
- driver and passenger front door tint is pealing
- SRS comes on

The ugly:

- Salvage title. It was in a minor front ender, and I replaced the hood, radiator, ac condensor, core support and nose panel with all new parts. There was no damage to the body.
- The clearcoat on the hood, front bumper and top of fenders is pealing.
