Description
Two-owner; Schwarz (black)/Sand-Beige leather; 5-speed; 112 miles; mostly stock with some drivetrain and suspension upgrades. Purchased locally in 2019 from the first owner. The car has always been garaged and proactively maintained by a local BMW tech.
Recent Maintenance: Sept '23: replaced valve cover gasket and valve cover replaced (with genuine BMW cover)|Aug '23: Clutch and flywheel replaced (with a Sachs sprung-hub kit and JB Racing lightweight flywheel), along with the rear main seal, Rogue transmission mounts, OE engine mounts, drivetrain flex disc, center support bearing, shifter detent pins, and upgraded Autosolutions Ultimate short shifter.|
The gearbox is better than new and the new clutch feels fantastic. The car is mostly stock, but some other "upgrades" include Stromung performance exhaust, M3 lower control arm bushings, X-brace from Z3, UUC lightweight strut brace, UUC clutch pedal bushings, Rogue Engineering rear shock mounts, 16" wheels from BMW Z4 (style 104) mounted to Michelin Pilot Sport AS4 tires, ZHP shift knob, replaced headliner (including sunroof) in June 2022.

After scratching the driver's door in my garage, I ended up having the door repainted and blended with the 1/4 panel, as well as having the rear bumper resprayed by a reputable auto body that deals almost exclusively with Porsche, BMW, and MB. They re-pinstriped both sides of the car in the original shade, as well.

Flaws: Rock chips on front of hood and a few small scratches (mainly on hood and front bumper), including some poor touch-up paint spots from the previous owner; a few dime-sized dents (3-4 mostly on driver/passenger side of car); driver door pocket leather no longer adheres (just an aesthetic issue). some surface corrosion on undercarriage components on par with age of car.
