[QUOTE="Mineral_01', post: 13216316, member: 106289"] Up for trade is my beautiful 1998 BMW M3 in factory Arctic Silver paint. The car features over $16,087.00 in modifications which I will list below. The M3 has right around 93,5xx miles on the clock. Interior is in mint shape. Exterior in very good condition, front bumper has a few small rock chips otherwise paint is great. Cold A/C and heat works well. At the current moment the vehicle is at TRM tuning in Cumming, GA having some top end work done to it due to a failure from a poorly machined cylinder head that I purchased at time of turbo install. All parts on this car have been replaced with factory BMW stock or top quality aftermarket performance goodies. I have all receipts and documents showing the list of mods. The vehicle will be out of the shop and dyno tuned before any trades are made. Expected hp will be 500+. If you don’t believe me, do a quick Google search on TRM tubo kits;) At this point I primarily would like to trade since I know I could never get the cost of the car and all of its modifications combined. That would total over $27,000. I am looking for an '03-'04 terminator for a straight up trade or I can add cash if the vehicle is right. Please feel free to ask me any questions or shoot me any offers.
