S38b38 (stoked) M3 on ebay

[fronton]

I am surprised this is at $30k already. I personally can't pallet all the bling but it appears to be reasonable sorted mechanically. I think the stroke and the intake plenum probably cancel eachother out for any real hp gain but I'd be real curious to see a dyno sheet. He's insane with his buy it now but can't blame him for trying I guess.

Eh, not a VLAD deal. The email addy would make me uncomfy, but...

Sounds like he is flat shifting in the linked video.

actually, just awkward gear changes in general.

Dang I couldn't view the videos!! The interior reminds me of a noble m400.. Too much suede :(

The hood & to much suede kill it for me. The car looks nice.

Stunning car,,

but i have my doubt about the intake manifold,, this manifold looks like a TURBO manifold

as an owner of an e30 with this engine ,,with ALPHA-N ,, it is my favorite S-6cyl engine from BMW that is available on the market today ,, A lot of torque,, and 320-340 cavallinos.. but the main reason to that torque is the oem intake manifold,, also the custom headers, IMO they are crap and bullshit..
the oem headers are made of INCONEL,, and many have tried with out result to make better numbers out of these engines with custom headers ,, and in almost all cases they fail ,, belive me.. these engineers at BMW M///Gmbh are no idiots, at all,, they know what they were hired to do,,

custom 3.46 diff is also a crap,, it is just a 1.88 diff with 3.46 ratio,,,,, oem USA M3 had 4.10 diff vs 3.25 on EURO cars

otherwise it is a amazing car
