[QUOTE="acbauza, post: 14760790, member: 159336"] Hi, I have an 03 SVT 3Dr and can tell you from my experience after a years ownership that you'll want to go over it with a finetooth comb. Camber isn't an issue at all. I instruct with the BMW Club on track and have spent an absurd amount of money on mine, but it was due to chasing down problems which were finally whittled down to a leaky injector. Any way, you'll find a lot of parts just aren't available or a SVTF specific. Overall, it's a good daily car and with the hatch it will hold a lot. They didn't have LSD's, so consider that in the future. Fuel economy isn't too bad either if you baby it. I did track mine twice last year and was pretty happy with it. Anyway, what you found is a little high in price, but still might be more "solid" than most. Do put $$$ aside, because certain things will just need to be replaced. Hard plastic vacuum lines with rubber ones. Valve cover gaskets, plugs, timing belt, water pump, idlers and tensioner(accessory belt tensioner too). HTK makes the O2's for it and are available from Advance Auto too. Good Luck! Anthony Red Dragon[URL="http://1drv.ms/1uiRXPN"] [/URL] [/QUOTE]
