From the Collection of D. Ray McArthur, Hillsborough, North Carolina

One Massachusetts owner was purportedly a BMW racer and owner of Turner Motorsports. Following owner was Courtney Green of New Jersey, a racer of BMW's, who later moved to Wake Forest, NC. In March 2000 it was purchased from Mr. Green by Mr. McArthur.

Recent work to include: timing belt and tensioners replaced; cam, crankshaft and aux seals replaced, with all new belts installed; refurbishment of original VDO analog gauge cluster (mileage is consistent with Carfax report); tune-up to include new air filter, spark plugs and wires, ignition parts, fuel pump and pressure regulator; all new exhaust from manifold back including catalytic converter, muffler and mounts.

In wonderful overall condition; recent re-conditioning revealed glossy paint; paint readings are consistent, but indicate a repair on drivers side below the B pillar (consistent with an accident reported on Carfax report); interior is like new with minor wear to drivers seat bolster, with no noticeable areas of concern; no other apparent concerns.
