$5750 or best offer. Compare autotrader ads to KBB pricing and you’ll see my pricing is very fair, but I’ve also left room to negotiate. Lien free title in hand. For Sale, my beloved 1997 BMW 328IC sport 5spd. Was a florida car until I owned it. Only used for one winter ever by me before I got my A3. It’s rust free and clean underneath. Always garaged. Runs on 89 octane, get up to 25mpg highway, put the stock diff back in and you’ll get 30ish. Synthetic oil changes every 5K or once a year (whichever comes first) Miles: 118k Mods: FK coilovers in front, h&r convertible specific springs in rear with new struts. M3 rear sway bar Smoked corner lights, side markers, and smoked/red tails Depo glass headlights with 55 watt 5K HIDs with laminex front covers M3 Replica front bumper Subtle lip added to m3 bumper E36 M3 replica mirrors Black Kidney grills E46 sport front seats, powered, no tears. Stock torn up seats are available still. M short shift knob Intake (just a filter), stock available 96+ M3 limited Slip rear end with 3.23 gear ratio, open 2.9x rear end comes with the car. (this mod really wakes up the car) E46 18” CSL replica wheels, concave and wider In the back. Very flush, no rubbing, rear fenders are rolled. Aux in added to stock headunit. Wire is tucked and comes up in the cup holder area. Problems: The rear of one of the side skirts tagged a curb. I have M3 twisty sideskirts primed and new in box waiting for paint. Front bumper could use a respray while you’re at it. Slight grinding noise from the rear. Probably ebrake, maybe wheel bearings? Can only notice below 5mph. Airbag light because of E46 seats, you can pass an inspection in NYS with this on. Slight vibration in front when tires are cold, might just be wheel balance? (it’s npt enough to bother me) All of the woofers are blown, you’ll want new speakers I’ll be editing this as I remember more mods I did. ![http://www.nyssan.org/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=3054&g2_serialNumber=2](http://www.nyssan.org/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=3054&g2_serialNumber=2) ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4054/4487867792_e6ca5f4bed_b.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4054/4487867792_e6ca5f4bed_b.jpg) ![http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2782/4487753669_e9ed66b320_b.jpg](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2782/4487753669_e9ed66b320_b.jpg) E46 Sports seats, no tears, power works. ![http://www.nyssan.org/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=2153&g2_serialNumber=2](http://www.nyssan.org/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=2153&g2_serialNumber=2) ![http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m209/agy2k2/97%20328iC/IMG_1924.jpg](http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m209/agy2k2/97%20328iC/IMG_1924.jpg) ---
