M3 sedan, 5 speed strongly prefer silver or black on black interior I need the split fold down rear seat option. I'm willing to pay a fair price based on service history, mileage, condition, etc. I'd prefer a car with none to minor mods. I'm in Houston but certainly wouldn't rule out traveling for the right car. Much less interested in a car that's seen salt on winter roads that might have rust. Thanks!

Hey guys, Got my injectors back from Cruisin Performance. He said that they were in great shape considering the miles. They were more or less perfect as is, the cleaning just made them flow a tiny bit better. I was rather surprised actually but then again, the car ran perfectly before so what did I really expect. I also had my radiator pressure tested today and as it turns out it's perfect so I had a coolant leak from the overflow tank hose, or the top bleeder (I think) line, or the expansion tank itself. All of which is getting replaced so I can only assume leak cured. Thanks, Mark

Whenever we get our injectors back from him there's a note to remember to change the fuel filter as well. I'm not sure how difficult of a job it is on the M3, but it's definitely sound advice if that's hasn't been done recently.

New fuel filter as of maybe 5,000 miles ago. I am really cautious when it comes to maintenance items or consumables. All that stuff gets done on my cars.

Tire Rack only shows a couple of ASA models fitting the '99 M3 coupe and not RG-R's. I can't seem to find RCJ's, SSR's or CCW's to see what they look like and see the weight.
