2003.5 – Alpine White – Black Leather – SMG – Carbon Roof – 114k miles
I’ve owned this car since 03/2011 when it had 55k miles. I know this car inside and out. I have personally completed most if not all of the work/maintenance on this car. I have dozens of invoices/receipts for parts, including photos of most work. Unfortunately my well known build journal was wiped when M3Forum went down.
Options include Xenon’s, power/non-heated/lumbar seats, brushed aluminum trim, PDC, Harmon Kardon.
Yes, it has the big 3 done. Rod bearings (108k), full Beisan rebuild (80k/112k), and RACP reinforcement (75k/112k). The SMG pump was replaced right before I bought the car (54k) and has never given me any issues.
The car is on 100% stock suspension components (struts/shocks/springs/sways).
The car has a few modications listed below, most notably the “power package”. The car dyno’d at 370whp/260wtq years back with a CSL airbox, which is no longer installed. Was well known in the community back when M3forum was around.
