i feel like i may be missing a few things but i can always edit this later if i remember.
this has been and will continue to be my daily driver until it sells. that being said there are a few MINOR issues that most will expect but i feel like i need to address them so there is complete transparency and so there are no surprises.
- few paint chips (this should be expected for a daily driver)
- with a full trunk the car will rub when going over dips at speed
- every now and then the temp gauge will bounce but doesnt last long then stays still
- front IS lip is cracked but i have no problem getting a new one from Garagistic for a buyer
- splitter is off the car currently because of the above
- m3 engine harness cover isnt installed as ive just been a bit lazy
- power side mirrors not working
- not up to california emissions standards (which is why its registered in NY)
