The car is pretty much stock with some minor lighting upgrades to improve the look, and the trunk has a custom amp and subwoofer system. The car has never seen snow. It has 2003 OEM 19-inch M3 wheels rather than the 18-inch wheels it came with, for an enhanced look: I’m selling because I’m running out of garage space.
