Tampa Racing - WTT my BMW for or buy a WRX/S2000/350Z/G35

I had a 1999 BMW 328i w/ sport package. Along with Dinan Exhaust, Intake and Software. I traded it in for $4,000, and put $9000 on top for my s2000. Good luck though.

2000 BMW 328i Sedan with light, tasteful mods. I have gotten many compliments about this car. The average person might think this car looks unsuspectingly like every other 4 door Bimmer out there, but it is not...

The good:

- 5 speed manual! (which is the rarer version here in the US)
- 2.8L inline six cylinder BMW engine (with approx 193hp stock if that helps)
- Alpine White with Sand interior
- Leatherette (which is on par with real leather IMO)
- Power seats (driver and passenger)
- Cruise control
- 4 doors with comfortable seating for 5 adults
- Great gas mileage! I average 34 mpg on the highway at about 70 mph and I average 29 mpg combined city/highway if I drive conservatively, and if I drive normally, I average 26-28 mpg.
- Ice cold A/C and hot heat
- Always garaged.
- Always 3000-4000 mi in between fully synthetic Mobile Oil changes (done by Mobile).
- Always reliable and stable, even at highway/Autobahn speeds
- Mostly all work done at Reeves, with the exception of some minor maintenance work
- Radiator overflow tank taken care of (common problem with these cars)
- Window regulators replaced
- Regularly washed
- Comes with two keys, all original owner's manuals
- 16" spare, jack, and original tools
- New battery
- New oil change (<1000mi ago)
- Great tires, but approx. 50% tread left
- Clean Carfax report with no accidents, but there are a couple minor dents and scratches from idiots on the road
- All recalls and basic maintenance done
- All stock parts are accounted for and can be returned to stock at buyer's request
- Drives straight/aligned, and wheels balanced
- Pampered, and meticulously cared for. Mostly all receipts accounted for.

- Some of the mods (which I did all myself, and can answer any and all questions about):

5-spoke Hamann HM2 forged 18" rims from Germany with 235/40/18 tires
Brembo Slotted Front Rotors and Hawk High Performance Street Disc Brake Pads (which is an amazing combo and will stop this car in a heartbeat)
20% 3M Titanium Black Tint all around with a lifetime warranty
Clear turn signals all around (DOT approved) from Germany
Black floor mats with a lifetime warranty
Blacked out grill
Debadged the "328i"
OEM CD player from a newer model (to keep the stock look) replaced the stock tape player (yes...I said tape player)
Custom made-to-fit sub enclosure box (kicker 12") easily removable
aFe cold air intake with heat shield with a lifetime warranty
UUC underdrive pullies
OEM security sensors, motion detection sensors, and alarm
Polyurethane control arm bushings
SilverStar High Performance Halogen high beams, low beams, and fog lights
Bavarian Autosport Power Programmer (which raises the rev limiter to 7000 rpm and removes the top speed governor)
M series weighted short shifter
Silver Gauge Rings (as stock on the M3 and sportier models)
DICE iPod Integration Kit (works with all iPods)
Interior lighting kit (dimmer, pure white lights)
6000K Angel Eyes (shown in pictures)
