My weekend acquisition: '95 M3

I have been riding around on a yamaha c3 scooter the last 9 months here at school and it came time to get something I could take beyond 25 miles. My original plan was to get a Volvo V70 XC, but during my search I stumbled across this gem and couldn't pass it up.

I bought the car from the second owner with 150k on the clock. First owner sold it in '02 with 117k, and the following years it was a weekend car for a mechanical engineer. It isn't perfect cosmetically(a few door dings, cracked front bumper trim), but it was very well kept and maintained by both owners.

It looks to have H&R springs with Bilstein shocks and struts, but I am not 100% on that. The PO had the entire suspension replaced 10k miles ago and it rides fantastic.

150K, how's it holding?
High revving or perfomance engines with 150K miles sound scary.

Looks great tho, love the color, in and out!
