Car is a driver w few stone chips..bumper was repainted by 1st owner because of stone chips..its a small car remember ,very low to ground..other then that, nice nice car..its not soo perfect to not drive it,but nice enough that you detail it often..thats my case anyways lol..after washing it ,hood open ,truck and doors to wipe down everything..
PROS N CONS of s52/s54 engines..
yes more hp w s54..but ..you have to adjust vales/beware of the common rod bearing issues etc..i owned a 01 m3..and rear floor sub frame as it has more hp to damage it
s52..no valves to adjust,no rod bearing issues..how much hp do you really need in a go cart? lol..more the better,but seriouly less issues and still goes very well..
please email me with questions and a phone # i can tell you much more about it and come to take a peek yourself
These cars are on the up swing for collectible and search all the sites..you can see prices are up! some are $17500 to mid $20s..s52! forget s54..high $20s
