I'm the owner of this M3 - it's going to be for sale at the end of the month, I need to retax and MOT it, and stick some new Eagle F1's on the front.

It's quite heavily modified, power is about 320bhp, and thanks to the fact it's about 70kgs lighter than standard it makes pace with an E46 M3. I set out to make it a fast road M3, not a track M3, sadly I never finished it, all that remained was the interior, I wanted 2 reclining buckets for the CSL look, but sadly it's still got an interior I put in as a stop gap measure - it's a cloth 318 interior, it's still perfectly funtional. When the interior was out I also removed most of the sound deadening. It is noticeably faster than a standard M3, the handling and grip levels are very impressive, the engine is extremely responsive between 2000rpm and 8000rpm.

Here's a list of the mods:

Carbon fibre CSL style Airbox
K&N cone filter
H&H Alpha-N ECU and Vanos chips (1000rpm idle – 8000rpm rev limiter)
Iridium Engineering Vanos seal kit
Milltek exhaust
Denso Iridium spark plugs
Fan & AC delete
F1 Racing 7.4kg flywheel
F1 Racing Stage 2 clutch
AP Adjustable Coilovers
BMW X-brace
Ultra Racing front and rear strut braces
YAT camber adjustable top mounts
Z3 reinforcement plates
BMW M3 Evolution discs
Performance Friction Pads
Goodridge Braided clutch and brake hoses with Dot 5.1 Fluid
Polished M3 Evolution alloys
Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 tyres 225 up front, 245 rear

The car has a couple of parts replaced over the last year for maintainance rather than mods:
2 new lambdas
New air temp sensor
New water temp sensor and sender
Couple of bulbs

The car does have some negative points (other than the low rent interior)
Slight buble on the nearside rear arch, it’s not speading at all, and not very noticeable.
MPG isn’t as good as a standard M3, I average about 16 in town, and 27 on the motorway.
The spare wheel is a 3.0l motorsport rim, not an Evo rim. (same style but has BMW MOTORSPORT writen on it, where as the others do not)


The price will be £5,500.

Hi Mitch - car looks good

I would prefer a standard car or one that has minimal mods for the insurance and easy resale. Cheers though

Believe it or not, the mods make hardly any difference to insurance, as for resale; a lot of E36's are modified and there is a large market for them on certain website, Pistonheads, E36Coupe, M3cutters, etc.

Shame though, compared to a standard M3, mine drives unbelieveably well.

Thanks anyway mate, good luck with your find.
