1997 BMW M3

[Tin Bui]

I said I would never sell this car, but after much reflection of good life changes, I'm putting my 1997 BMW M3 for sale. It's been sitting for over two years since I last autocrossed in 2017. This is a great fun car to autocross and track with. I'm the fourth owner of this vehicle. Prior owner is a well known autocrosser. Car is well maintained, clean (garage kept), and in beautiful condition. Prepped for STR.

Regarding maintenance, I don't have records since I planned to never sell it. However here is my minimum maintenance periods:
Engine Oil: Every 3,000 Miles (Mobil 15W-50) or Every Year
Transmissions and Diff Oil (Redline): Every Year
Brake Fluid (Motul): Every Year

Regarding issues, it's in safe and running condition ready for any driving! A new head was installed about 40K miles ago. It does have a cracked rear sway bar mount, which is not a big issue since I run the vehicle without a rear sway bar. I haven't had many issues, since I"ve done preventative maintenance which include all oil lines, breather lines, VANOs mechanics and solenoid, wheel bearings, guibo, etc. This is a low cost running car.
