“Hellrot”1997 BMW M Coupe

The story

• No accidents. All original paint on body panels.
• DINAN Stage 4 clone – DINAN Front and Rear Strut Brace, Intake, Exhaust, MAF, Throttle Body, Fuel Pressure Regulator & Software
• Koni Yellows on Eibach Springs
• FX35 Projector Highlights
• Interior Condition is A+. Passenger seat bolsters look almost new. Driver bolster has zero cracks, just creases from use. Truly is in amazing condition. Still smells factory fresh
• Completely leak free

• A few minor defects in the paint/rock chips on the front and hood. Nothing major. I have detailed the extent of defects in pictures. In my opinion, for a 20+ yr old car, they are minor.
