2000 BMW M Coupe,
Titanium Silver, Emola Red interior
Track Car,
53k miles
This car has been prepared for track driving. This car is the perfect weekend HPDE track day car. It is stiff, light, fast, and bulletproof, yet can be legally driven to the track. While this car is street legal, it is not what most would consider a daily driver. The roll cage makes entry and exit a challenge.
Original owner, low mileage (53K), mostly garaged, kept in closed storage for the last eight years. This car has done 30 track days. Car has a fully documented maintenance history: every tank of gas, oil change, upgrade, and repair.
The car has had two minor incidents: one parking lot and one low speed fender bender that required replacing the driver door and rear hatch respectively. Both were replaced professionally with new BMW parts and did not bend or hurt the integrity of the car.
