So I had a guy interested in buying my car give me a huge questionnaire to fill out lol so I thought Id share it here for anyone who may be interested in my car.. Hey Wes, Here is the email I had sent through CL.... I saw your ad on craigslist for an E36 BMW M3 Sedan and I have some questions (ok, a lot of questions...). Do you have pictures of the paint damage to the hood? Paint is fine but the clear coat is what started to peel. It’s dipped in Halo Efx Gangsta black right now so I can take a picture or maybe better I’ll try to capture it via video and send to your phone. I can peel the liquid wrap off but have not because it’s winter it’s protecting the car and a couple people inquiring asked me to leave it on for the time being. Do you have pictures of the interior wear that you mentioned? – Here is a video https://dropbox/s/1elbi3p9ebiq2q0/Video%20Jan%2002%2C%203%2019%2028%20PM.mov?dl=0 Can the ride height be adjusted? Yes – Megan racing euro street series coilovers with shorter eibach springs up front for clearance with the 18x10’s I currently have on car .(have original coilover spring for fronts) Do not have stock suspension that went in the garbage.
