Purchased July 5, 2013 with ~122k in Peoria, IL.

6MT, imola/alcantara, black cube trim, no cold weather package or sunroof. All stock when I bought it except for an intake and being debadged.

Right after the 5 hour trip home:



The exterior was a little rough; some dings, rock chips, curb rash, a cracked rocker panel. Interior was in good shape and it was mechanically sound, though lacking a bit in preventative maintenance. I'd give the outside a 6/10 and the inside an 8/10. So I started working on it...

So far under my ownership I've done:

-VCG and spark plugs (NGK 3199)
-OFHG
-Belts and Pulleys
-Vanos seals
-Rear shocks/mounts/reinforcement
-Koni Yellow front struts/mounts/reinforcement
-Z4m offset FCABS
-BMW performance SSK + ball cup bushing
-M3 Engine Mounts
-M3 Tranny mounts
-Diff bushings
-Fresh diff fluid (redline)
-CDV delete
-Steering coupler
-M3 front sway bar + endlinks
-Rear swaybar links/bushings
-Front and rear brake pads + rotors (centric/textar)
-Intake boot
-Fuel pump
-Window tint 20%
-Cleaned ICV
-Touch up rock chips
-Front license plate delete
-Plastidip kidney and lower grilles
-New shift knob
-M3 dead pedal
-FR window regulator
-Thorough detail (interior/exterior/engine bay)

Theres probably some other stuff I'm forgetting...

Here's how it sits now:

The m3 dead pedal and interior:




and the current project:

Refinishing a set of csl reps because I didn't like the hyperblack finish

It's come a long way since I got it -- looks and drives much better.

Plans for the very near future:

-18x8.5 square VMR Vb3 (after I paint them) and 235/40/18 Michelin PS3's
-Ground control coilover conversion (I'm thinking 400#f and 500#r)
-Alignment
-Ebay headers
-Eurocharged tune
-Paintless dent repair

I'll be using this thread to keep track of maintenance and mods from now on, so it should hopefully be updated frequently. Thanks for looking!
