AI Listing Summary
This one-owner, Cosmos Black Metallic 1997 BMW M3 coupe has 98k miles and features desirable modifications like a Dinan ECU tune and a 5-speed manual transmission with a short shifter. While it has had some paintwork and minor interior and wheel cosmetic issues, it comes with a clean Carfax and service records, indicating good overall care.
Condition
7
The car is in very good condition overall with some noted cosmetic imperfections. The driver's door, fenders, and hood have been refinished, and the right wheels have also been refinished. The stereo LCD display intermittently does not work, and the seat belt recoil spring operates slowly. However, it has low mileage for its age, a clean Carfax report, and evidence of regular maintenance with records provided.
