Default Picking Up The M3...

...Tomorrow at 5pm.

Idr if I started a thread or not about me considering one or not but I finally sold the RSX (12,350$) and I found a really clean M3 that was not for sale about 2 months ago...about three weeks ago I talked the guy into selling it to me for 9,000$

Its a 1999 silver 5 speed bone stock execpt a intake of some sort.

I'm getting a brand new in the box bilstein suspension.

I prob won't install it bc if it goes any lower then stock I won't be able to get it into my drive way.


Ill be sure to take pictures when I get it.

Edit_ is there any way to post pic from the memory off my blackberry??

I'd like the purchase if not for the aging body style of the e36.

bilstein should be adjustable ...

edit: if its a complete bilstein setup it should be 9way adjustable ... seems like you could get stock height

Thanks,

They prev. Owner just did an entire brake job on it...only thing I don't get is why he put slotted rotors on the rear an not the front. ( Did it come stock like that) when they need to be replaced ill put slotted in the front as well.
