PRICE DROP!!!

Losing my storgae location will to let the car go as is for $7,500 w/ everything! $7,000 without BBS's. A friend of mine is interested in the BBS's, and in about a weeks time from now which is 5/15/08 I'll prob sell them to him.

LETS MOVE THIS THING!!!





It sadens me to have ot sell this car. I have owned this car for about 5 years. After I got the acr I started doing research and I really got into the limited BMW MOTORSPORT parts that had been available over the years. So I just started adding whatever I could get my hands on. So now about the car.

It's a 1997 328is. Schwarz II. Originally it came w/ a luxury style black leather power interior. I put together peice by peice the much sought after Alcantara vader interior. Not to be confused w/ the LTW or M-technic interior. The vader seats are the newer style w/ the larger headrests. They are power and I would give them a 9 out of 10. The rears are in great shape as well w/ one tiny hole in the back seat that is almost completely unnoticable. The door cards match as well, but they need to be fixed. TO fix them you would need to get black coupe door cards that aren't peeling, and then put the cloth centers into the new paenls. Also I would recomend removing the cloth from the panels and then re-gluing to the center section of the door card before reattaching the centers to the new cards. I also bought from the dealer brand the brand new red MOTORSPORT belts. OEM alcantara shifter boots are from the e46 zhp. Car also has the OEM BMW analog phone. I have never seen another one in person. It came w/ my car and thought it was cool so I never reomved it. It stil lfunctions 100% but it is impossible to get service for it. However it can still be used to make 911 emergency calls which I have done before. Did a complete black headliner swap from a 95 m3 w/ no tears or cig burns. The car was never smoked in. LAmost forgot. I also bought from the dealer brand new OEM CF center console and glove trim, but somone stole the glove trim at a local meet. GRRRRR!
Now for exterior. Following my MOTORSPORT theme I instaled the OEM MOTORSPORT handles which came on M-technic's and also available on the M3 Gt's accross the pond. HAs an OEM M3 body kit minus the sideskirts, but the front bumper, rear, and mirros are there. Also has an original M3 wing w/ third brake light. Non-arched. Red-clear tails (non oem), lightly smoked front corners and side markers. As of now the car has the stock headlights, but I do have the zkw's still. They need new lenses and I might fix and sell them seperatly w/ the hid's. I also took out the hids ouf of the fogs. I had to have the whole car repainted because when i was at work every panel was keyed. It was roughly a $5,500 paint job that the insurance coverd, and I bought new rubebr seals for the windows and sunroof. I was lucky enough to come accross a set of OEM BBS RC041's which came stock on all 94 M-technics. I had them taken apart polished and had the centers powdercoated a dark silver. Honestly they need to be re-done again. This time I owuld replace all the bolts and possibly chrome the lips so they don't tarnish as quickly. the centers were powdercoated, and I woudl have them done again as well because I think the powdercoat is alittle think as it is hard to get the center caps off. I do not have original BBS caps, a budy of mine made the decals and they aren't the greatest.
Mechanical and misc. The engine is mostly stock. has roughly 150k on it. Has an Autothority intake and exhaust as wel las tunning chip on the car. The exahust is really jsut a triflow w/ their brand stamp on it. They are a repudible Porsche tunning company in VA. I have recently replaced the water pump, radiator, thermostat/ aluminum thermostat housing, hoses, coolant flush, valve cover gasket, and oilpan gasket. Ther is an oil leak somewhere but I can't pinpoint it. Engien is strong and runs pretty well. I had the car converted to a manual a few years agao as well. It's a getrag tranny from a 325 that only had 15k on it. The only thing that was nt done was to make the reverse lights work. Which can be done, I just never ordered the little parts and got around to it. Also has a .315 LSD that had 48k on it from a 95 M3. I replaced the springs and front struts recently as well. The springs are bavauto sprts springs, and the struts are Bilstein sports. The rear shocks need to be replaced. I also put brand new M3 control arms on when I did the springs. They have about 3k on them or so.
Thats all I can think of for now. If you have any questions let me know and I'l lanser them to the best of my ability.

Here is a list of what needs attention/replaced

Needs new catalytic converter and o2 sensors
plugs for the foglights
rear shocks
all rear rubber bushings, like RTABs,RSMs, ect. (the rear feels floaty on the highway)
Source oil leak and repair
Re-finish wheels
Will not come w/ radio
only 1 key
Needs new sunroof cassett won't slide back or tilt, almost moves freely

Now for some pictures

The car is being stored in PA right now just up 83 off exit 4. If you want any specific pics let me know I see what i can do. The cra is being kept outside but under an OEM BMW car cover. Here si what I have worked out pricing wise Which I find very fair and am pretty frim on.

Car w/ wheels and ZKW's $8,500

car w/out wheels and ZKW's $7,800

car without zkw's $8,300

Car w/out wheels $8,00

This sale thread isn't for your opinion on how I sell cars so If you don't like my price don't buy it :D I am not willing to part the car as far as the interior so don't even ask, it will be ignored. It took me many hours and lots of cash to get the car the way I wanted it and to source all these very hard to come by parts. Weekends are the best for me to inspect the car. It starts/ runs /drives but has no tags so no open road test drives. i am not really looking for any trades but who knows I guess it never hurst to ask. I can be contacted via Email @ vwcabriolet@hotmail.com or on my cell @ 410 961 0435. Feel free to aks any questions.


PRICE DROP:
$8,200 car w/ everything
$8,000 w/ out ZKW's
$7,700 w/ out wheels
$7,500 w/ 17in style 18 rims and no ZKW's

uggg sorry about my spelling errors. I am working 3rd shift now 9pm-7:30am and am extremely tired, so I prob left some stuff out too.

I might have missed it but did you post up the miles?

*edit* never mind. I found it.

Beautiful car, sorry to see you sell it!!! Would you sell the zkw seperately?

yes, but they need new lenses and the dde's aren't working on one side

What would the car be rolling on if one were to take the No wheels/no ZKW option?

beautiful
i wish it was closer to west canada
snatch it up instantly

If the BBS aren't wanted I have some nice OEM style 18's which are 17in 5 spokes. I see them the most on Z3's but they are usually 16's on z3's. Mine are 17 and have some curbage and I have 5 of them.


EDIT: I forgot to mention the car will need new tires asap. the ones on the car are prety much shot.

This car looks like an amazing car. Lots of history and orginal parts I wish I had :[

WOW!! you really do heave some rare and expensive parts there, I am almost tempted to buy it just for the parts and transfer them to a M.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. If I could keep this car I would. But it just sits. I really would like an enthusiast to buy it and enjoy it. Like I said alot of time was spent peicing this car together. I would hate to put it on ebay and have some clueless person snag it up and run it into the ground.


Just a rant..........I swear people can't read. I have already had about 4 pm's asking if I would trade or sell the interior. In case you have trouble reading let me put this in caps for you.

NO I WILL NOT PART/TRADE/SELL THE INTERIOR SEPARATE.

To those of you who sent me pm's about that you will recive no reply from me on that subject matter. The interior stays in the car! If it comes to it I'll replace everything in the car w/ the original parts and just keep all the MOTORSPORT parts for myself. Just to hide them away untill I can maybe get another e36. Which I may end up doing if the car doesn't sell in about 2 weeks.

bumpsars!

This car is legit and meticulously maintained. I've seen this car in person many times and its certainly an eye catcher.

Its a great deal, and thats without considering the rare interior. The exaust is super throaty and distinct. If I could describe the car in one word it would be FRESH.

SOMEONE BUY THIS CAR!

Thanks buddy!

Bumposaurus Rex!!

Gotta love the antique analog car phone...

You know it..........I figure thats what will end up selling the car

Its killing me that I just want to buy this for all the great parts on it.

Do It!!!

Make me a offer I cant refuse and I might.

Stunning car with a ton of rare parts

I have a lottery ticket that im certain is going to be a winner want to trade?

This is the best deal on the entire forum right now. The sum of the parts is makes this asking price great. I wish i had the money, it would already be mine.

With the momey saved over an m3 on initial price and insurance, I can't see why anyone would want a m3. All the looks, most the parts, and a little bit of suspension tweaks and a single turbo and your now much faster. have you seen CardCounter's 328 sedan? 'nough said..

Pat!!! Long time no see, bro. Hit me up some time. Why are you selling the bimmer, man? I know you aren't hurting for money THAT bad.

I can vouch for Rabid Irish. He is a good guy and really pampers his car, as you can see. High quality everything. It is truly..... fresh. :D

EDIT: PM me if you wind up selling the car w/out the BBS. I may be interested, and can pick up IN PERSON this winter. Imagine that...

P-toe, pick up your phone, man!!!!

Car w/out wheels $8,00

I'll take it :D

Very interested, sent you an email....

If you still have it in a few weeks after I sell my e90 and e34... i will definitely be interested.

Sorry everyone. I was away this weekend. I am getting to your pm's and emails as fast as I can.

Sorry H-Art I don't answer 1800 numbers on my cell, no idea it was you hitting me up. next time you call I'll be sure to answer.

Thanks everyone for the compliments. I can't belive I am selling this car. I'll def hate myself later on, but other things going no in my life right now are more important.

So far I haven't had any concrete interest, so she's still for sale.

Where is the car located and how many km's are on it now?

I live in Maryland, but the car is being stored in PA right now. It has roughly under 150,00 miles on it, not sure what that translates to in km's.

wow, that interior is :drool: gl with ur sale

I have replied to everyones emails and pm's. Still for sale. Lots of drooler's but no follow throughs.

THIS WEEK ONLY!! AS OF 4/24 THE CAR WILL BE $200 OFF OF MY CURRENT LISTED PRICE FOR THIS WEEK ONLY, THEN SHE HITS EBAY!

im currently selling my 99 m3 and if it sells while you still have this i can pick it up since im looking for something cheaper. nice and clean tho

bumpity!

Bump............going to ebay soon.

I love this car.. Im just not in the market at the moment. I want to buy something like this probably next year though, why oh why now?

Bump

One more week of the car for sale the way it is........then I am removing all my motororsport parts and reverting back to stock then selling the car to carmax. I have no problem hording everything. As of 05/09/08 she hits carmax.

sick car.. that interior is awesome....

I was waiting till it goes to ebay and hopefully steal it. IMO you should take all the Motorsport parts and definetly hold on to them. You will want them in the future or you can hold them hostage for some serious coin.

Car would be sold if it wasnt for me just picking up my 318 back in feb. oh well, sometimes they get away.

bumpers.......lol still getting pm's about selling her naughty bits........

to the top

Price drop

$7,400 as is or $7,000 w/out BBS's.

Losing my storage location for the car so she's gatta go.!!

Holy crap is all that comes to mind when I saw those pics. Looks amazing, and those parts, all those rare parts. The door handles are so great.

thanks

All pm's replied.

I wil ship car if you arrange it and will take possible bike+ cash trades.

Try the ebay route. $5 listing fees till may 25th. Set your reserve high so you don't have to pay the $100 selling fee. There is more interest out there right now than you think.

Might give it a shot. So they have $5 listing fees even for automotive? And don't they take more than $100 for the sale, isn't based off of what you sell the vehicle for?

Bump

Ttt

up to the top!!!

Bump for an awesome car! been in it countless times and loved every min of it :( sucks to see it go.

hey where are you located

Damn this car is so full of win, I wish I could pick it up( think I said that before)

what zipcode is the car located in?

Car is in 21071, well actually it's in PA and 21071 is an MD zip code, but it's only 25mins from 21071..........lol

SO buy it already..........haha

Yeah yeah, I dont need another car

bump again........

So car is without zkw's, and wheels now? Do the wheels it has need tires? And no radio at all, stock one? Was looking at another car, but seller doesnt seem to be motivated.

Condition of brakes?
All lights okay?
Check engine light on?

BBS are still on car do need tires.......I might be willing to have them replaced for sale
No zkw's.......still have em they are cracked friend might want them
Brakes are in great shape!
All lights work, except the reverse lights because of the auto-manual swap, but can be made to work for under $40. just never got around to it.
Check engine light is on because of a dead catalytic converter. I have o2 sims but for some reason cant seem to wire them right.
there is no radio atm but I can install a cd player if it moves the sale along

Very nice car. Too bad i only have 4000 at the time..i would definitly pick it up if i was able to get a loan...good luck tho...its so perfect and im right in new york tooo..

That sort of what everyone seems to say. I can't belive I still have this thing....:(

She's still for sale!

I'm trying to find the intrest in my 318 out there, somebody wants it, I know!!!

Once I can get notice that its sold, or even the possibility then I want this thing.

very nice...will keep you in mind

up up and away!

To the freaking top! Not even one person has come to look at it.........i am begining to think i should strip it down make it stock and send it packing. I have 2 huge boxes that could store motorsport parts for years to come!

If you still havr the stock parts I think that would be the thing to do, you will kick yourself if you get another E36 and dont have those parts.

Pending sale for sunday!!!

SOLD!!! :bluecryin
