The car and I are both located in Loveland, CO, about an hour north of Denver CO. I did a carfax on the car when I bought it and if memory serves I'm the 4th owner. The guy I bought it from only had it 10 months, he was a young guy and I think he was pretty upside down in it, so he sold it to me. I have no knowledge or info of the other owners. The $10,500 asking price is if the car is bone stock. The price goes up from there depending on what mods stay on the car... -josh -------------- Original message -------------- > Josh, > > Got any digital Pics? Also, where are you and the car located?

#3. Techno Violet - from david kroth
Top
Date: Fri, 31 Dec 2004 20:00:10 -0800 (PST) From: david kroth <david_kroth@yahoo.com> Subject: Techno Violet I've had my Techno Violet M3 for about three months now. It came from the PO with a red/blue pinstripe on it. The pinstripe is stick-on and is starting to peel. I'm planning on removing it in the spring. At first I thought it was an aftermarket add-on. But given that M colors are red, purple, and blue I'm wondering if this was a factory/dealer option playing off the purple color of the car. Anyone know for sure? ===== David Kroth david_kroth@yahoo.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Send a seasonal email greeting and help others.

Hi Daivid, I have a '97 TechnoViolet -- no stripe! The Dealer or the PO may have added it, but not the Factory. If you like that sort of thing, I would have it painted on by a professional. I had this work done on a previous car with excellent results. Never need to worry about peeling ;-)) Happy New Year!

#9. Will these fit??? - from Mdriver13@aol.com

Date: Sat, 1 Jan 2005 17:50:10 EST From: Mdriver13@aol.com Subject: Will these fit??? Group, I know we cover tire fitment quite a bit, but I can't remember if anyone has asked about whether the Pirelli Corsa 255/40/17 will fit an M3? I'm rolled in the back and use 15mm spacers in the front already. For street I run that size in the rear using Kumho Ecsta 712's. TireRack has a special on these right now for $128 each. I think they are a pretty good tire, from what I've read, at least for $128 ;-)) TIA, Bob Gill 97 ///M3 coupe Philly Region SCCA 2nd Place BSP - PA State Championship 2004

As Mel said, probably an add-on by the dealer or PO. FWIW, my Techno Violet M3 has ///M stripes painted on, most likely done by the originating dealer (NY State). After 6 years of washing/waxing/detailing, they're starting to fade/wear out. Oh well. Jim Bassett
