So, the X sold in about 48 hours (Friday 9/9/2009), way sooner than I thought. Being the impatient sort that I am I wanted to find my M3 AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! I found a 95 that would have made a nice track day car, but needed a lot of TLC in the paint and interior department to fulfill the weekend toy role. After several days of driving Seth and Andrew crazy with my outlandish schemes I finally happen upon a very clean looking Cosmos Black 1995 M3 in an Ebay classified add (Thursday 9/15/2009). Luckily Andrew was not busy Friday and was kind enough to give me a ride up to Anderson South Carolina to have a good look at the car and bring it home if it all checked out.
As luck would have it, everything did check out. The shocks were worn and the brake rotors were shot, expected for a car with 100K miles on the clock. I was most impressed with the quality of the paint, how stock the car was, and the fact that all the switches and knobs all worked perfectly. To date the only items I have found that are not working are:
- Passenger side fog light
- Selector vent on the left hand side of the glove box
- Clock portion of th display on the OBC
I went a tab bit over budget, but the car was so clean and I was so tired of shopping that I had to bring her home with me. $8,000 and 130 miles later and my new toy was resting comfortably in my garage.
Enough talk, time for some pics!
