Beautiful work you've done.  Price?

Yeah, that's hot

I'll bet this is a blast. Always loved yours. Mine was fun and it was an absolute POS

Looks like you are giving it away. I will gladly come and pick it up for free.

I see your offer and raise you five thousand bucks.

Thanks guys. I met my hero and I loved it. It's fast and fun and nimble and practical. Truly the ultimate driving machine!

Whoops! Fixed

M coupe rear end, battery box etc, etc?

325es rear end, so mid-case 2.93LSD

Battery relocated to spare tire well

Interior pics?

I am hemming and hawing about selling this car now that I have it back from the head replacement. I don't need to sell it, but a lift would serve me better than this car.  Love it, but don't need it and don't drive it. Would be willing to look at offers, including a 4 post lift + cash.

Price, or free?

That thing is beautiful. Good luck with the sale man. 

beautiful car!  The blue and gold mesh work really well!

Bumping this today and crosslisting on Bimmerforums and 318ti.org

My 2¢. 

- Put a factory shift knob. 
- Remove the trunk bungee cords. 
- Clean the interior real well including trunk. 
- Remove the passenger fog light cover sticker. 
- Remove the grill badge. 
- See if you can clean up the rear of the passenger seat and the driver's side headrest. 
- Take pictures in a better setting. 
 

After doing all that, submit to BaT with a $10k reserve. Sell it for $14k. 

Thanks slippery, yeah I need to detail it and take better photos. Just tossing it up here for now before I clean it.

that thing's gotta be a riot to drive.  i wish i was in the market.

I am so used to the ti dash, it is weird seeing m3 curvy air vents in there.  Cool car.

Also polish or replace the headlight lenses 

Washed, waxed, stickers removed, interior cleaned up, headlights polished, factory shifter installed. Yeehaw!

In 2 weeks he goes back into the vault. In april I'll put it on C&B if nothing happens before then.

Back out of the vault and back up for sale!

Looks like a lot of fun. With a pro detailing and some really good pictures, I'd bet it would do pretty well on C&B or BaT. 

I have seen this on both of the aforementioned forums. I sure wish this was in Truckee and had a BAR sticker.
