I have decided to part with my M3 after 2 years of ownership. The car is presented in Carbon Black with Imola Red leather interior with a very high spec. I purchases this from Beshoffs Howth September 2012 with 73,234 miles showing,this is a well cared for example with all the right maintenance religiously adhered to stacks of history and invoices for works complete. Current mileage 79,167 driven for the last two summers and dry stored for winter. I am asking €10,800 and this is firm and non negotiable and is priced according to condition. No cash no drive test pilots need not apply also proof of insurance required.

You may ask as to why there were two services carried out in the space of 200 miles this was for my peace of mind having a baseline of works completed from when I first purchase the car.
03/07/2013 car was left with Chris in Detail Shed for a paint correction.
04/06/2014
After taking the car out of storage in April I dropped it down to Alpina in Limerick where the following was completed. Goodrich braided brake lines fitted front and back(supplied by super 4) Eibach sport line springs fitted(courtesy of Schooner) replaced oil filter, oil changed , right hand side drivers door lock replaced(it was acting up with the central locking). Both front brake discs, replaced front brake pads, replaced rear steel brake pipes, replaced front suspension levelling sensor, replace rear exhaust box fitting kit( steel exhaust clamps were corroding common problem), replace brake fluid, replace rear bumper PDC(right inner hand), replace rear suspension bushings, replace rear left brake caliper, coolant flush and refresh. Rear axle was removed from the car mount points inspected for corrosion and cracks no sub frame issues thank god. While the axle was dropped there was the usual surface rust on the under body all this was treated cleaned and repainted with a final coat of Schultz. Back axle was cleaned down primed and repainted. @ 77496 miles.
Mods so far are
Black front Grills and side vents (Originals included in sale). Goodrich Braided brake lines, eibach springs. Extended brushed Aluminium shift paddles. Cargo Net and rear boot mat with M Logo installed.
If I was keeping the car I would spray the front bumper due to stone chips the boot has a scratch on it along with a scuff over the right hand rear wheel arch along with a wheel refurb. The rear spoiler was stolen but I have a replacement one in carbon black included in the sale.
