Slicktop e46 on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2002-BMW-3-S...NZ2kco&vxp=mtr

Is that really rare? I've only seen a couple e46 slicktops before and they were both zhp. At any rate, I wish there are more slicktop bmws state side; I hate wearing my helmet and being squashed by the roof.

It would be rare on a later model E46, but the 99-05 the sunroof was a $1050 option or you had to buy the premium package which was like $2200.

Most of the later model people got one of the two, but when they first came out I saw a lot of 99-02's without them, especially on Sedans.

At least the tail lights and exhaust are amazeballz. We should take bets on how long it will take for that one to sell.

I saw this on a facebook page he was driving it and giving some other dude in a car the thumbs down. Not sure he is in the position to give people a thumbs down.

Lotus Esprit with an M70 V12 project! 8500

[Kershaw]

Oof. That needs an expert. That is 2 levels of project headaches. No thanks. One PO's undocumented work is too much for me.

[2mAn]

thats pretty dope. I would love to have that. Its like a poor mans McLaren

[flyboyx]

kind of 3 levels as i see it. the car is british from the 80's, so all the body electrical components and wiring came from Lucas. this automatically qualifies them as being complete and utter shit.

i can't imagine gaining much power by switching to stand alone engine management on an m70. just seems like a big waste of time and money.

iirc, that car came with a 4 banger turbo. he has the 5 liter mated to the original trans??? that can't possibly end well.....can it? i would imagine the fist hole shot scattering syncros and little bits of gears all over the pavement.


i do love the theory of this though. i just see the buyer becoming discouraged by the almost insurmountable level of "basket case" and relisting it again on craigs a year or two down the road.

Remember the M70 was complex using basically 2 of everything (ECU, fuel pumps, MAF, etc) I think you simplify things by switching the standalone, and Im sure you can gain ~10-15% on top of the 300bhp they make.

Ive heard a lot about those transmissions, and none of it is good haha
