Nice score, looks like a very clean well kept car

Glad you had the sense to walk away from that other deal, most dealers who post prices that are too good to be true are just that.

thats the thing it was 9k for an 01 330i that had 96k on it.  
the price wasnt too good to be true but it was optioned out the way i wanted. so i spoke with the dealer several times on the phone and he assured me the car needed nothing and was practically “mint”…when we got there the car was leaking coolant from the coolant tank, needed a wheel bearing in the back, valve cover gasket, windshield, and a bunch of other stuff. plus the body on the car was SMOKED. (baked paint & tons of scratches/dents)

i was fucking heated to say the least.

love it… you can always buy another set of stock wheels and run the wide square setup in the summer and the narrow square setup in the winter.

That would be perfect. I was wondering why it had wheel spaces on it but factory sized tires? On my White M3 I had 8.5’s on all four corners and ran 245s because I didn’t have spaces if I did there would have been 255s or 265s on each corner if possible. My old white M3 is buzzing around Western New York.

Not the car I’d choose to rip in the snow but to each there own. Can’t you fit 16’s on the M’s? What would be a little better for snows.

These things with a good set of snows are good in the snow. Their only inclement weather limitation is the ground clearance, but plowing the snow is worth it to be in such a great daily.

Sweet looking car, very clean!! To me the best looking m3 body style was the e36.

Enjoy it man, super cool car.

I can’t agree with you on that. I used my e36 in the winter, yeah it wasn’t an m3 but worst winter car imo.
