Fresh paint just applied in August 2014. Keeping its original color Cosmo Black, this car looks amazing! The Headlights are crystal clear with zero pitting. The body is silky smooth and straight! The front bumper and hood have zero flaws. The Motorsport wheels are perfect inside and outside, the tires are in great shape. The car comes with coil over suspension and cat back exhaust that sounds amazing!  All of the rubber and plastic trim are in perfect condition. New windshield just installed.

Hi-Fi sound system sounds excellent. All of the knobs, switches work as they should and look and feel as if new. The radio functions as it should. Air blows cold.

    This M3 S52 is an absolute blast to drive! The M3 uses 3.2-liter 24-valve DOHC inline-six-cylinder engine. The sport suspension handles and tracks awesome.
