I am selling my Dinan SII 88k miles which is a forum car and nicely taken care of. Its a 2003 model. Cold weather package - including front heated and memory seats. Harman Kardon speakers

I am the 3rd owner and the previous owner was a gentleman from forum. I have initially searched 6 months to find this car. The car was an SMG but converted to manual transmission and a CAE shifter has been installed.

It has the rare topas blau color with black leather interior. Clean carfax and no accidents.

Price: $23.5k

I have the full maintenance records to it. I have owned the car for the past year and I am really sad to let it go but need something bigger for my family.

The interior condition of the car is really good and clean. I have also just installed an alcantara shift boot and e brake both Genuine BMW; as I was just installing the CaE shifter.

The exterior color is in really good shape and the interior is really in good condition for the age of the car.

The bad:
- A & C pillars sagging
- For CaE shifter install the trim around gear shifter & cigarette lighter had to be cut (but won't be noticed as the shift boot covering it)
- A small door ding on the passenger side
- Another small deep scratch/dent on the door

Overall a really nice car which has never been tracked and really well taken care of m3 enthusiasts with a rare color.

I am in Cincinnati and please let me know any questions that you may have other than what I have highlighted here.
