Recent notable maintenance —
Please note that the entire drivetrain and motor have less than 500 miles. Built by Performance Technic and VT Motorworks – everything has been rebuilt, refreshed, and/or brand new. It is fun, tolerable, and safe in any situation on the street, and very capable on the racetrack.

Recap —
This is a completely turn-key, reliable, and phenomenally well built Z3M Coupe that will truly need nothing for many miles to come. It has zero mechanical needs whatsoever; no leaks, no noises, no oddities, and everything functions exactly as intended. You will be very hard pressed to find another wearing all original paint with these quality modifications, past and recent maintenance, in this desirable color combination, with this level of thorough documentation for the price — if at all. With ~270WHP and sub 2,900lbs – this is a fun and fast Z3M Coupe that can be reverted to stock should the new caretaker desire. It will pass California smog with stock or CARB-certified catalytic converters; the headers and intake are both CARB-legal with EO# stickers visible in the engine bay. I purchased this from the original owner years ago and simply have not been able to use it as I once intended. It has only been tracked (casual DE’s) three times total, sparingly driven, and reliably ready for any street, track, cars and coffee, or garage artwork usage. The majority of interior components (minus the seats and rear parcel shelf), all air conditioning pieces, and the five binders containing 500+ pages of thorough documentation are available and included in the sale.
Truly unique, neat, and proper Coupe with one sale caveat — the new owner is required to bring it to either ‘Dorkfest’ or ‘Shu Syndicate’ meet (dependent on location) this year.
