Good looking car. I would like to see more details about the car instead of the guy working at a dealership to sell it

This is a shot in the dark here, but if that is the Will Tate I've met, he's a good guy. There was a Will Tate that used to work at BMW of Annapolis (Maryland) that me and a few buddies were friends with back in my E30 days. 15 years ago when he worked there he'd download the BMW TIS dealership version for us so we had what essentially is now realOEM.com. His facebook page landroverjaguarannapolis (I don't do facebook, so I didn't look at it) and his area code for his phone number (Maryland) tell me it's the same Will Tate I knew. I do remember back in the early '00s he moved from BMW to Landrover. I'd trust buying a car from him is all I can say.

I don't think it was his car.

Beautiful car, couldn't recommend a trade for your M3 enough. That ///M Coupe has an upgraded exhaust (looks like a custom Magnaflow perhaps?), wheels (look like 18s with 275s in the rear), pedals, shift knob, and it certainly looks like it's lowered so probably coilovers as well. It's already got all the must have mods for this car, so that's a definite plus!

It's got wheel studs, apex wheels and lowered. It appears that is was a track toy. That's not a concern for me if I can find the previous owner.

I don't think you can make that assumption from those mods. Probably 50% of us or more have wheel studs because they're just so damn handy, but there are quite a few of us that do not track our cars. Same can be said for apex wheels and lowering springs. Those are all really popular mods that give a lot of bang for your buck.

On the other hand, there are some things that are also really nice to have, but expensive enough or difficult to install that a lot less people have them. KW clubsports come to mind as something that probably indicates 95% or better that the car is tracked.

Almost positive the referenced car is my old Z4M. If you get an opportunity to buy it, here is my old FS ad for more info on the mods: http://www.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=869739

I don't think the gentleman I sold it to changed much on it, although I did sell it without the Supersprint race mufflers so I can't comment on which muffler is on the car now.
