I've owned and loved this coupe for nearly two years now, but it's dawned on me that I'd much prefer a black car. I know it's a trivial thing to sell a car over, but as I plan to keep the coupe long enough to pass it onto my children, it's worth it to me.

The car currently has just under 143,000 miles. High mileage? Yes. But these things do better when they are driven. I regularly perform work on the car and know the condition of nearly every component and have kept a very detailed list of maintenance items. I purchased the car in Spring of 2014 from a lovely older couple in Ashburn, VA who had maintained the car very well. I have all maintenance receipts from their ownership which included a new clutch in the past few years.

The interior is, honest to god, a 9.5/10. The only interior wear is that side bolster on the driver's seat. Everything else is immaculate. Mechanically, this car is solid. I've been a member of this forum for several years, and have used this knowledge base to appropriately maintain and improve the car as I saw fit. There are several parts I will remove from the car to swap over to my new coupe. I will, more or less, return the car back to its stock condition save for a few items listed below. I've also listed every known item that was on my radar to either replace, repair, or refurbish.

M Coupe Buyers Guide Listing: http://www.mcoupebuyersguide.com/listing?ListingID=3690

The Good:
-I've refurbished the front sway bar with new end links and bushings, and cleaned the part itself thoroughly
-I've recently refurbished the X-Brace with several coats of paint
-I frequently check the condition of the rear subframe and there is (knock on wood) still no indication of premature failure
-The exterior and interior are in truly great condition for the age and mileage, though there are caveats which I've outlined below.
-The Clutch Slave Cylinder and Brake Master Cylinder have been replaced with in the last 3,000 miles
-Oil has always been changed with BMW Castrol Synthetic 5w30 and Mahle Oil Filter; the car also has an ECS Tuning Magnetic Drainplug
-Spark Plugs and Fuel Filter have been replaced
-Rear roof speakers were replaced with Infinity Reference 6.5" speakers using the OEM harness connector

-Door handle gaskets replaced within the last 2,000 miles
-All drive-belts, tensioners, and pulleys replaced in the last 500 miles
-Transmission mounts replaced with UUC black mounts and transmission brace was refurbished with new paint
-Wiper Fluid Reservoir was painted black instead of that nasty opaque white color
-Replaced lower timing chain tensioner in the last 5,000 miles
-Seats have the Thayer Tilt Mod

-Car is equipped with Bilstein Yellow HD shocks w/ OEM springs
-Car is equipped with OEM BMW alarm and comes with the two-button remote; everything is wired but the remote needs to be reprogrammed, which I could do easily.

The Bad:
-The rear passenger loses a few PSI every couple weeks
-The passenger side wheels could use refurbishing after they were curbed
-Driver's Side window is slow to roll down/up
-The brakes function quite well, but since they are Hawk HP+ pads, they squeal like a bus
-Power steering hose has a small leak. This was pointed out by Curry's when they performed a PPI before I purchased the car. I will include an OEM replacement hose.
-Transmission selector seal has a small leak. From my experience this is common, and I was waiting to address or simply overcome with a 6-speed swap.
-There is one small dent on the driver's side rear fender which I can easily have fixed if the buyer so chooses
-The side bolster on the driver's side seat is worn and could use some leather treatment/repair (photographed).
-The front end does have some rock chips since this is a regularly driven car (photographed).
-The windshield has a small chip above the rearview mirror that is about the size of a dime in diameter. I can have this repaired if the buyer chooses.
-The rearview mirror has started to show signs that it needs repair by Sybesma's Electronics ($100 repair)
-Passenger side exterior door handle should be replaced (has trouble opening occasionally)

I've tried to do my best to outline every little thing I had on my schedule to replace or address. I've also tried to outline all the work I've done to it, but honestly there are probably things I'm missing. All in all, this car performs extremely well for its age and mileage, and I have to say, I've grown a bit attached to it since I've performed so much work on it myself. My aim was to completely restore this car and then begin modification phases.

This car truly needs to be seen in person and driven to understand its quality. I'm located in the NoVa area and welcome all interested parties to give me a shout. I'm on the forum frequently, so please feel free to PM. My price is $17K and I'm fairly firm on that.
