Thanks guys. It has 99k miles. Which was more than I wanted, but it was an one owner car w/ all the paperwork. The guy seemed like he took care of it. And everything checked out. The car's condition is really nice. The exterior is probably 8 or 8.5 out of 10. The interior is in pretty good condition probably around 7.5 out of 10. There is a bit of wear for the driver seat, 99k after all.

The reasons why I wanted the Saloon, one, it was definitely more rare since it was only produced 2 years here in the US. Two, I had a coupe before, decided the 4 door would be more practical. Three, for some reason, I see it as being a bit more professional.

Haha, no drift videos, no mods. Planning on keeping it all stock! Gonna keep this car for a long long time. =)

Thanks for the compliments.

Interior shots next time =) .

Beautiful M3, ae86 8) If you're planning any mods, check out www.evosport.com They are located in the LA area (Irvine i think). It's a bit of a drive, but all they do is play with BMW's Mercedes and Ferraris

Holy jump!!!! Ein wundersöhn M drei ae86_16v *ARMAN trying to impress everyone with his Germanish*

Keep it stock, I would.

Best wheels that have been made for M3 ever imo, excelent color choice it looks fantastic in white + 4 doors is absolute bomb cause its MUCH more practical than 3 doors - anyone who had/have 3doors car know what pain it is moving seats all the time 8) Pity they didnt produce M3 wagon *ARMAN is extremly jelows* (in a good way )

Thanx for pics too, great wallpapers

EDIT: Pleaze make some nice vids, I dont mean abusing, just nice croosing, walkaround etc vids, there are lots of M3 nuts on the board who will LOVE to see them

Thanks again guys for the compliments!!!

Actually Arman I really wanted the M Contour wheels, 5 spoke kind. I thought those looked better on the car and definitely easier to clean . But I think these worked out just fine . And yes, I am planning on keeping it stock.. Although I do want to get a set of European Ellipsoid (projector) headlights.

FerrariFan, I liked black too. Initially I wanted to get black but everyone said it was super hard to keep clean. It is very classy when it is clean, but too hard to maintained.
