Item Interest

Welcomed a new member of the family 2/11/17 so it's time to move this beauty on (unfortunately ). When I purchased this car over a year ago I never thought I'd sell it but here we are... Car is in excellent mechanical condition, has a few flaws on the exterior as per the year and mileage, and has been enthusiast owned from the first buyer in 03' to myself. Below are some pictures, although I'd be happy to send any requests to serious buyers. Easiest way to get a hold of me is through PM or text - five one seven 420 seven 11 seven. I've been an M owner for quite some time (8 M3's, 3 of those ESS supercharged) and love to speak to fellow enthusiasts talking about the history of this car will be no exception Car will only be listed here and other M forums as I would like to see it go to another fellow enthusiast. Details below - Title in hand. (sorry for the dust, just brought it out of the garage for a nice MI day)

That's a really nice e46 M3. How is the clutch on it? I'm curious, why was the hood, windshield and differential replaced?

Beauty and a bargain

Clutch is strong. Windshield and hood were replaced by the previous owner, I never asked the question surrounding the windshield because I assumed it was replaced due to a chip of some sort. The hood was replaced the second week of ownership (from previous owner) due to a truck tapping it with a tow-hitch. Owner replaced the entire hood with OEM rather than having the scratch fixed. As far as the diff goes I'm unsure, you could ping Tac1 on here, he was previous owner.

Hi

Windshield was replaced due to a rock chip/crack.

Hood was replaced due to contact from tow hitch of reversing truck.

Differential was replaced following recommendation of BMW tech due to backlash out of spec.
