time to build a real track car, sadly this cabrio must be sold to accomplish that...or trade for a built pro3 car already ?

this car is a turn key car....everything works, all warning lights, service lights, windows, switches, antenna, locks, EVERYTHING...and it always has...if anything ever went south, i bought a NEW part from BMW of bellevue, and have the reciept for it...its perfectly maintained to BMW E30 reliability, and will not need anything but oil changes for years...
just this year, replaced....
timing belt,
waterpump
tensioner
BMW blue coolant (always bmw brand)
adjusted valve clearences, they are perfect
checked plugs
air/fuel filters
all belts, and all 30, 60, 90k services are done...this car is like a little baby, and i enjoy keeping it maintained...its never let me down.

ground control coil overs
17" alloys built for the car (hubcentric, no rings, no spacers, perfect fitment)
215x40x17 w/25 pos offset front
245x35x17 w/25 pos offset rear both front / rear are 23.8" tall.

portmatched, and polished engine (took me 5 months to set this engine up)
headers

lightened flywheel
step-cut flywheel (closer pedal throw)
balanced flywheel to pressure plate
lightened driveline
4.10 Limited Slip Differential (mechanical)...

1995 M3 steering rack (closer ratio = 3 turns lock to lock)

carbon fenders
reiger GTS body kit
Sparco seats and 4 point harness x2

z3 short shifter
all seals and bushings have been replaced..this car doesn't leak a drop of anything, ever. (all engine and tranny seals were replaced within the last 5 years, (tranny in 2 years) and have a decade of reliability (if not more)

detachable steering wheel

keyless entry (locks doors, trunk, gas door, etc remotely)
ellipsoid headlights
air horns
Sparco strut tower bar
adjustible shocks

AC. was serviced a few years ago, avoided getting talked into the "upgrade" to r134, as i KNOW r12 is the best...it still has R12, (freon) and it blows 26 degrees at the vents...in the sun, and yes, its so cold, my fingers will literally ache from it...its nice..real nice...btw, freon ftw...never "up"grade...


this car was my first BMW, and honestly, it is one of the best cars every produced...(which is why im building a sedan just like it for a track car)...i cant put a roll cage in this, its too nice...

i have all the matching body panels (in a box) and you can have them all (fenders), car has never been crashed, and steers perfect.
0-100, and back to 0 in a straight line...this car can go above 140mph, and redlines over 7k.

its NA right now, but can easily be turbo'd...i personally love the control of "na" over fi.

no tirekickers
no joy rides

this car is legit, and 0-60 is ;
faster than a new BMW,
colder than a new BMW
lower than a new BMW
cooler than a new BMW
cheaper than a new BMW
better than a new BMW....

i might be asking a lot for it, but i am open to best offer too...and i have a envelope of full size, unfolded receipts thats an inch thick, mostly from BMW (for all oem parts) and local machine shop (accurate engines) tire shops, and race shops (speedware motorsports, etc)..

thanks for looking.
drive safe.

more px, just ask.
open to trade for pro3 car
and at this price, i will give a warranty of ten years, bumper to bumper on mechanical failure.

That body kit is ugly as shit LOL. I like his polish job though

[e30austin]

Did you see his price though? I don't give two shits about the car, to each their own. But $900k? And "at this price, I will include a ten years bumper to bumper warranty..." HAHAHAHA

[KEVORM]

Seeing as most pro-3 cars are WELL over the 10k mark and some over 20k, there is no way in hell anyone who has put in the hours building a racecar is trading for that steaming heap of shit. Dudes crazy.....

The dude selling the car is supposedly (quoted from him) "good friends with the owner of r3vlimited."

That car, and the seller are crazy

[Mlarsen]

Hey man.....



Move over.

[e30austin]

Anyone local have an M20 exhaust heat shield laying around?

[Gregolas]

Hey man.....



Move over.

LMFAO glad I'm not the only one who noticed this!



2FAST. 2FURIOUS.

[Wishno87]

Anyone local have an M20 exhaust heat shield laying around?

Which parts?

[IronJoe]

Matt, you ever figure out who left that painting at your door?

[e30austin]

Which parts?

The rear section that covers the driveline. My exhaust is making a horrible noise from 1k-2k from the rear area and I think it's because of bottoming out on the cat, which in turn, screwed the heat shield up. Time for a new one!

[HarukoE30]

This is why my car is still on stands! I gotta save gas somehow!

I thought this was because of a curb accident?

[e30austin]

I thought this was because of a curb accident?

Nope. His motor blew up, so he got another one to put in. Sitting with no motor for the moment.
