In light of the V2 I've put the V1 on the back burner a little. Decided to clean it up and snap some pics today. Man, I love this car. It's been so reliable with only standard maintenance performed in the few years I've owned it. Though the V2 is MUCH more refined; You don't get the driving experience as you do with the V1. The V1 is truly a 4 door Trans-am or Camaro while the V2 is like a fast *** luxury car.



All of my button's looking good...









Silky smooth paint...








Might as well...

 

Both beautiful. I favor the V1!

 

Niiiice pics. Both lookin clean.

 

damn how'd u get 19.6 mpg ?

 

Looks good. I am jealous of those buttons!

 

Mpg is due to all highway driving. I normally have it on outside temp, must have hit it when I was wiping it down.

Thanks for the complimants. Ive been considering selling it because of how much I drive but I feel like I would regret it.

 

Bamfin - call Luke @ Lindsey. He will hook you up.

 

Just wondering...have you ever been harassed about your rear tag cover? Lookin good!

 

Yes and no. I've been pulled over twice for front plate, twice for window tint (now medically exempt) and once for rear tag light. All times I was told I was being given a warning but never really ever a conversation, just you can't have anything covering. Its not tinted, just clear.

 

what are you lowered on? H&R lowering springs and MM spacers?

 

I saw you on MD 32 traveling northbound a couple weeks ago. Your V1 looks very menacing from behind. You've sold me on the spoiler!

 

Eibach and m&m

 

Black? I see a silver V2 all the time that's blacked out but I've asked around and can't find him.

I live on 32. I drive from one end to the other every day for work.

 

what % tint is that? I have a silver v1 with black interior and I want to get tint on it when its at the detailer in a couple weeks. thanks. both look beautiful!

 

Super clean car... If only I had the option to swap between a V1 and V2 on the reg.

 

I was thinking the same thing) mine tends to linger around 13

 

20%. Thanks

 

I know mine will be going in the garage since they are selling cheap these days. At this point I really doubt the price is going to fall much. I feel we are going to see the same thing in these as we did in the first gen M3s. Price will only go up in time or at least stay where it is. Limited production and i'm sure half of them are totaled by now.

 

So here's the moment of truth.. 110k miles, What's it worth?

I'm kicking the idea of selling it to help fund the V2 Hp project.

My issue with selling it is that people will try to beat me to death on the mileage. However, You can see this car is in exceptional condition. I commute nearly 100 miles a day round trip, all highway.

I'm having the front bumper painted and filled (license plate holes) in the next two weeks. Just replaced the shocks, and entire shifter assem. (bad bushing).

I'd like to get $15k-16k.

There is absolutely no major cosmetic issues. Everything is minor. This car was in better condition then close to half of the V2's I looked at. The seats are in great condition, no tears or nasty cracking. Floor mats are new. It honestly has the wear of a 40-50k car.

-Lowered on Eibach's with M&M
-K&N Drop in
-Muffler delete with Magnaflow double wall tips
-V1 hard mounted to the mirror
-Brakemotive Rotor and pad kit recently

-Outside of the tint the car would have no problem passing inspection
-Just passed Md state emissions

-Just replaced the Shocks
-Brand new entire shifter assembly (bad bushing)
-Pads, oil, fuel filter, air filter, done reg.

 

When's the last time you changed your fuel filter/air filter?
