Silver Grey Metallic exterior with black leather and brushed aluminum interior. UNDER 30K miles! . . . . This unique M3 has upgrades inspired by the limited run E46 M3 CSL (Coupe Sport Lightweight), of which BMW produced less than 1,400 units. This M3 has the signature OEM CSL 19" BBS flow-formed alloy wheels, OEM CSL large cross-drilled rotors (13.6" front / 13.0" rear), Vorsteiner CSL carbon fiber trunk lid with integrated rear spoiler, and OEM CSL steering rack with more direct 14.5:1 steering ratio. . . . . Clean vehicle history, no accidents, dents, or scratches. Impeccably maintained and cared for. Always garaged and only hand washed. Very low mileage weekend car owned by a non-smoker. . . . . Some of the stock vehicle features are: Xenon HID headlamps; 6-speed Sequential Manual Gearbox (SMG II Transmission) with settings for transmission shift sensitivity); rain sensing windshield wipers; park distance control system; tire pressure monitoring system; in-dash CD player plus 6 disc changer in the trunk; dynamic stability control; M3 leather wrapped steering wheel. . . . . A stock M3 is rated at 333 hp, but this car has a stage 2 supercharger kit bringing it up to 499 horsepower! The suspension, brakes, and exhaust were also upgraded. All upgrades and modifications were completed by BMW Performance Specialists – Active Autowerke and Bavarian Hyper Sports. I had a local tuner shop check the car out , he said he “wouldn’t change a thing” and that the car was “done right.” . . . . I have a complete list of mods available upon request.

it’s a nice car at a fair price (considering mods)… it lose $15000 from the asking price in 2-3 years. that’s about as bad as getting a brand new 335 lease for 3 years. ---

I would expect this car to be worth $20k in 3 years (it will be ~ 10 years old). that’s a 15k loss or $416 a month which is probably what you could lease a new 335 for. ---

It’s a nice package, but the lack of a clutch pedal, and the exterior looks dated compared to the new E92 2 door 3 series that can be purchased for the same price if not less. X… ---

yea, its clean and has low miles, the AA S/C on it should put down ~ 450 to the wheels… The wheels are probably just ZCP, the “steering rack” probably isnt a OEM CSL… most people just put 330 racks in the m3 if they want a little tighter ratio (cheaper and availble here in the states) the ACS rear diffuser is pretty ugly with the chrome trim on it ---

thom, you’re a better example… I suspect you’ll sell in ~ 2 years for a $15k loss (but 5 years of ownership). that’s $250 a month (no finance added in) which is a great price to pay for such a car. am I close? ---
