1997 BMW M3 4 door Turbo 5spd. NEEDS SOME WORK. I‘m asking $8900 OBO. This is a lot of car for the amount invested. The car has approximately 121k on the clock and less than 1k since ownership. The The car has a CLEAN TITLE and I have it in hand w no liens, in 98' it had a salvage title - after inspection of frame rails and major components- a clear title was issued. The car drives straight and handles tight.

Here’s some info on the car:

-Active Autowerke Tuning Stage 1 Turbo Kit
-Custom 3” turbo back exhaust w/ a Magnaflow muffler
-UUC ceramettalic clutch w/ UUC lightweight flywheel
-New e34 M5 guibo joint
-Newer m3 driveshaft
-Bilstein Shocks/Struts
-The Rear Subframe of the car has been reinforced/welded
-Active Autowerke DSB was put on the prevent blowing the diff mounts
-H&R Race Springs

-18” Hamann HM2’s Chrome Finish staggered set-up-VDO boost gauge
-Stock Head Unit w factory 6CD changer
-Full Size DSII spare w. Michelin Pilot Sport
-Genuine Hella Celis glass head lamps w/ angel eyes
-Clear Corners
-Smoked Tails
-Rear M3 spoiler w brake light

The car needs:

-Re-spray

Wow. Thats a good track car.

wow that thing looks trashed. I wish i had the time for some TLC though.

the previous owner sold it to me like this as I would never let any of my cars reach a condition cosmetically as shown, as a project car, but I have absolutely no time for it.

Located in Waldwick, which is near Saddle River, Ho-Ho-Kus, Ridgewood area

the price is listed in the original post and negotiable..pm me if you are interested

Do you have any idea what the horsepower would be with a new turbo? Does it have to be an AA turbo? Is there any way it is driveable from jersey to denver?

Is the car driviable? Just curious I am down in Lexington, KY and seriously interested! Interested in a trade + some cash for my 96 Jaguar XJ6? Pics are located at http://talldj.orfay.com

Let me know either way, never hurts to ask I suppose! I am a BMW enthusiast of LONG standing, and been around here for a long time so she would be going to a good and knowledgable home!

I would not recommend driving as the turbo is smoking. As far as trades go, I am looking for a straight sale, thanks for the interest :)

this car should dyno 350+ to the wheels with the same or simlar turbo.

Thanks but I will pass! Just bought a 2007 Hayabusa a month ago, and buying a 318is next weekend I guess now.

Best of luck with the sale.

Jared

thanks edgeperformance, I need this car gone guys - bump

Bump again for one hell of a deal!

Is this an older generation kit from Aa with the internal wastegate on the Mitsubishi turbo?
If it is its the same thing I had on a 95 and it made 307 at the wheels with NickG software, if you upgrade the turbo/manifold and go to an external wastegate where you can run a little more boost you'll see 350 with tuning for sure.

It is the newer kit running an external gate...also vented to the atmosphere :devillook

far away from me but a sounds like a great deal

can you post some pics of the front seats
also could you post or pm me the VIN ?

thank you and have a great day
