I dont really want to sell it but, I myself am not mechanicly inclined to do mods on this car and im not gonna lie, there expensive to do. If I cant sell it I’ll spend the money as keeping it stock is not an option but I really would like to cut my losses and start fresh with something easy-ER to mod. If you want to talk shit about me, the car or the color please do it somewhere else, I like what I like and am not afraid to seperate from the crowd, hence the funky paint that I absolutely love. Asking $13k or best offer, May trade for s2000, 350z, built second gen eclipse gsx, older corvette z06 + cash on my end, older viper + cash on my end, a true e39 m5 + cash on my end and possibly something else? Would also take something less valuable and cash on my end.

Probably would’ve sold a little better, and closer to asking price, with the original paint/wheels/interior/non-chrome pillars. ---

dude you should really take some different pics of the car. i hated the color in the pics, then i watched the walk around vid. the color looks so much better in the vid. i think your pics make the blue look too light. just some constructive criticism ---

Wow tough crowd in here… Car looks spotless from the video… Not a fan of painted interior but it doesnt look bad… Thank u for not putting the m5 logo on the trunk i see the one in the grill but i hate badges where they dont belong… you will regret selling it but ill wish u luck anyways! GLWS ---

Little info: E9X 3-series wheels have a different center bore on the wheels than E39’s. At least the M5 for sure. ---
