The guy that bought my car is in the navy, he's in south georgia right now, but going to washington soon. So, if you see my car around, in person or on the night, just remember the guy who built it and spent countless hours on it (AND ORION!!!!). Blah... Don't worry though, I'll still check the boards, my buddies still have 240's, and once I get more financially stable I'll be sure to start another race car project.

Oh and if any of you know of any decent 95-98 M3's forsale, 16-18k, lmk.

Actually, my '98 M3 will be for sale very soon.

I might be asking a little over your price range, but the car has had LOTS of work and parts done to it since I bought it two years ago. It is mostly stock, but I replaced all the bushings/components that tend to die/wear out on E36's.

Email me at [email protected] if you're interested in talking about it more. I'm located in Atlanta.

Thank's for the info..

But if it's "mostly" stock, it wont do. I'm in a position where whatever I buy, it needs to have everything done to it already that I want done. With an m3 I want wheels, lowered, intake, exhaust, etc etc. The basic stuff, but stuff I will crave if I get a stock m3, and I won't be able to afford or have the time right now to put into it.

The one I found is about 10 hours away from me, but its black on black, coilovers, 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 wheels, 95, and only 67k miles. It's immaculate. So, pretty set on it for right now unless something better comes along (particularly a silver m3, the color I want most).

P.S. the guy came and picked up my car today.... I tear'ed up.

My car is a late '98 Silver/black car. It has all the late model updates(3 spoke steering wheel, side airbags, rear headrests, lighted shiftknob). It has the forged LTW wheels on it.

I can include an intake, crank pulley, x-brace, M Coupe short shifter, JTD transmission rings, delrin shift carrier and clutch pedal bushings and externally adjustable Koni yellows on the car. The rear trailing arm bushings are replaced with new stockers and Ground Control shims(complete PITA install). I did have a higher flowing OBDI intake manifold on it, but recently took it off to give to a friend that really wanted one. I could throw in the factory clear lights and ZKW european ellipsoid lights, but honestly, those are really expensive and you probably would rather prefer the stock lights and the cheaper price.

Otherwise, the car dyno'd 212rwhp 217rwTQ bone stock. I think with the intake and crank pulley it'll make in the mid 220's rwhp and just as much TQ.

I've done all the work on it myself, and know it inside and out.

Here's a few pics of the car just in case you're interested. I'd rather sell the car with the few mods it has on it compared to continuing to turn the car back to stock. So let me know...

BTW - that color is Titanium silver. Only available on build dates of 3/98 or later(i.e. VERY late '98s or '99s). It looks way better than the Artic Silver that was available on all other M3's IMO. Titanium silver = silver + 5% white. Very clean color.

Artic silver = silver + 5% blue. Looks dirty and dull IMO.

Email me at [email protected] and we'll discuss this further. I think my asking price is very reasonable given the work and condition the car is in.

Just dropped the transmission on my S13 and found out the cheap *** Korean clutch in it exploded, locking the clutch assembly together. So the M3 is now officially for sale so I can fund an SR swap(this KA is so utterly busted I can't imagine what a turbo would do... :().
