Im getting ready to move on from the 325 and get a somewhat newer BMW, so id love it if another BfC guy bought this from me. I've had it for about 15 months and it has been rock solid. There are a few problems which I will note later in the post, but it has still driven perfectly 100% of the time. It's very quick and drives very similarly to a 95 M3. It doesnt have much torque but the 3.38 LSD helps that out. This car has been worked on and tuned by Mike McCoy and Bret Bazan, and most of you know they do great work. Its been a blast to drive, and I really can't see this thing ever failing. It is a very aggressive looking car, and although its 15 years old and has some blemishes, its very beautiful.

I have always changed the oil every ~5k miles with non-synthetic since I was told that switching to synthetic can cause problems.

The coolant system was recently flushed

The tires are Toyo Proxes: Rears were replaced mid December, fronts were replaced around August.

I also have most of the stock parts if you want to take those with you



KNOWN ISSUES
the rear main seal is oozing oil, and I realize that this is a costly repair

the drivers side headlight failed, so Im trying to figure out what to do wiht umnitza
the CD player sometimes doesnt take in the CD, but the warranty will replace it. the only reason I havent sent it in is because I dont use the CD player, I use iPod
When I replaced the gauge cluster, the odometer reads 11k lower
The headliner is falling, as expected in E36's

The car is 15 years old so its not perfect.



Feel free to ask questions, because Im sure I left some things out. I will be putting pics up ASAP, I just figured I would go ahead and put the ad up.

interesting

6900 is really steep

maybe 4500 would be a better price..

pics? curious to see this thing..

Exactly what I was thinking... But I'm not here to badger, GL with the sale...
Max

I don't think the price isn't too far off, considering it has the same whp as a bone stock s50, and except for the rear main seal seems to be pretty well sorted out esp. w/ the 3.38 lsd.

^^^ The good thing is the power should shoot to 205-210whp with just a midpipe/header swap from an obd2 car. It really has no problems staying with or pulling on stock M3's. Good car. Really has no noticable problems. The oil leak is minimal..not oozing, but i'd fix it before tech day at the track (or atleast clean it off). The thing needs nothing major. Had a clutch what..5-8k miles ago as well.

Pictures?

thanks, i forgot to put that the clutch was recent. I also forgot that it has 35% tint as well as a Cosmos CAI


and about the price, I will certainly entertain offers that are sub-asking price but im not in any huge hurry to sell the car.

im in the process of putting up some pics as well, and more will come as soon as the monsoon passes through :rolleyes

bump- posted pics in original and above post. if you need specific shots let me know.

keep in mind the pics are taken when its rainy outside.

Pm sent

Nice. I forgot to add... the only thing this needs (short of a minor oil leak repair and re-sprayed rims) is a nice fat TRM kit. It's a very solid motor. Bret asked me how many miles it had when we put the cams in and thought it was way less then what it was based on what he saw when he opened it up. It also has new valve cover, valve cover gaskets etc. etc.

you people need to start putting "E36" in the thread title. I'm tired of being disappointed :(

Nice car...and the 5K range would be fair.

FYI if you post your pics anywhere else...remove the dice from the rear view. It's really...ajsldjfgioag(no words)
Just remove it before you post pics again.

bump... price reduced to 5900

I wouldnt get but ~8 for my E36 and its S52 swapped. good luck getting 6.

You'd probably get more if you'd fix those fenders

It's a wide-body, you can't fix it. :stickoutt

I good vacuum and wipe down of the interior wouldn't hurt either!

i dont necessarily need to get the asking price, so if anyone is interested in owning this car, shoot me an offer
