Finally added a track car to the stable
1998 BMW M3 sedan, manual. 92K miles when I bought it. Found it in New York. It is Cosmos Black with Black Napa leather interior. All of the common suspension weak points have been fixed. The cooling system (another common weak point) has been replaced. Was in really good condition. It already has Dinan sport springs and Koni adjustable shocks. It's already tinted 35% (which I was going to do anyway) and it is already hardwired for a V1 (which I was going to do anyway).
I can not wait to put it on the track. I can't believe how connected I feel to the car. Through the throttle, brakes, steering, and seats. Everything feels just right. Turns are drama-free. Come April, VIR is going to be a good time...
Here are some pictures. The car is dirty and I'm going to get it registered on Monday. Better pictures will come later...

Congrats, Jim! Best wishes for many happy track days ahead.
Looks worth all those phone calls a couple of Saturdays ago! I look forward to seeing it pass me like I'm standing still.
