Seller Description

I'm trying to come to terms with selling my M roadster. It's with a heavy heart that due to personal matters I likely have to sell it. I bought this car with the intention of keeping it till the day I die as it's been a dream car of mine since the day I saw one. I've put a lot of heart and soul into this car. (also a good amount of money and time). I also created a blog of my purchase and mods. I've only had the car since last summer, but a lot has changed and the smart thing to do is sell it.

Car is in fantastic shape. Just had the brakes flush and brand new tires put on it. Cost me about $1000. Also has a brand new rear window, the cloth top is like new. Has an outdoor weather proof cover, replaced seatbelt slide harness, seats are in fantastic shape, zero rips or tears, new shift knob, engine bay looks like it came out of the showroom, brakes are like new, also swapped out the crap HK subwoofer for a set of good aftermarket JBL 4.5 inch subs, clear rear tail lamps, clear side blinkers, black kidney grill, aftermarket stereo head unit with BT/BT Audio/USB, replaced floormats with brand new, added a strut tower brace, also replaced all the body ///M badges with brand new OEM . Best of all the rear subframe failure is non-existent and there are zero leaks. Car is solid, trunk and undercarriage show zero issues. Clean carfax, no accidents. Only thing I'm just waiting to do as soon as I receive it is replace the ABS/Hydro pump. It's on order and is coming from Germany replaced, it got clogged and unfortunately affects the strength of the rear brakes (fronts work perfect). It's costing $1400 eek. But that will be fixed soon and I wanted to get an ad out sooner than later, car is still driveable.

Only issues are a few rock chips on the hood after 54k miles of driving. The wheels have some paint fade in certain areas, but you can't see it till you're up close. I can take photos of those marks. There are a couple light abrasions on the drivers door from the previous owner, any good paint shop could polish it out. This one fine specimen of a Z3 M Roadster and it gets more attention and compliments than my Porsche. Last winter I kept it in storage away from the snow and cold. Otherwise I keep it outside.

As you can see from the link of my build below i've put a lot of DIY fixes into the car, things you'll likely have to fix if you pick one up from a non-enthusiast. I truly LOVE this car. I'm all the FB Z sites and try to contribute to the community, be glad to answer any questions.

I'm not going to give the car away, it's for sale for the right buyer, otherwise i'll hold onto it even though I shouldn't. I can't express more how much I don't want to sell this car, it's really a car that is in my dream garage, but I will let it go for the right price due to circumstances.

Price: $16,500

This roadster was in great condition when it was for sale last year, and it sounds like it's only gotten better. I think the price is very fair.
