Overall Condition
- Honestly, it drives like a Z3M with half as many miles. Very smooth, no shimmy at speed. Transmission and clutch feel solid. The clutch was just replaced, so it grabs immediately and feels great. Acceleration and braking are both very strong without any vibrations or hesitations. No leaks or weeps of any kind. No smoke upon startup. After replacing the 25-year-old OEM subframe bushings with Poly, it has transformed the way the car drives. No more rear end slop and the car now feels like a E36 M3.
- Body and paint are both very clean, with nonexistent underbody surface rust considering it’s been in the Northeast with 140k+ miles. I believe the car has been repainted before, but I cannot confirm that was the case nor do I have the receipts. However, the paint looks really good up close, and I have gotten many compliments on its luster. No curb rash on the wheels.
- Interior is in great condition. I think the previous owner added a carbon fiber trim over the dashboard, and it looks nice without being gaudy. Seats are in fantastic condition. Everything works, though eventually it will need the driver’s seat bushings replaced. AC blows cold. No odors. No electrical gremlins. No lights on the dashboard.
Misc
- Startup and walkaround video can be found here: https://youtu.be/TOCi5vu6b7Y
- Proof of funds is required prior to test drive.
- If you see this ad, then the car is available. Send me a custom message if you want a response.
TL;DR This Z3M is in excellent condition, needs nothing, and is ready for the next owner. See less
