Mods please leave this thread open for a few days

I would never think this day would come but unfortunetly it has :(
One year of sweat, patiences, I finally got her complete and after 700 miles of finally enjoying the car I will have to let her go. A business opportunity has been presented to me and this time I do not want to miss the boat...

I will take more pics this saturday when i get some time, but in the mean time you can go to this thread http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=951470 and see some pics of the car....

Also here's a link to a video 2 weeks ago...

Alright, enuff with the sad stuff let's get to some details about the car...

'99 M3 OBD1 Silver 104,000 body miles 700 engine miles
Tec3 Standalone tune
Garrett GT4094r Turbo
Fully built S52 Motor (Pistons, Rods, Valves, Dual valve springs)
1000cc RC injectors
CM FX700 Clutch
Custom intake manifold
Boost logic exhaust manifold
Stainless steel 3" intercooler piping
Stainless steel 3 1/2 inch exhaust piping with dual Magnaflow mufflers
Ground control coil over suspension
17" ARA1's rims
The rest of the race goodies to complete everything...

The rest you can see yourself from the pics, no need to go into details.

As you guys know already the car made 494rwhp @ 14psi. I have no doubt in my mind with a 20psi tune this motor will produce 600rwhp+....and all hell brakes loose with a 25psi+ tune.

Included with your purchase which I wanted to take care of already is a full detail job of inside and outside of the vehicle, rear shocks replacements, oil change, little scratches that will get a touch up and a sad look on my face when you drive her away. I will not part out the vehicle.

Please PM me with further questions. As far as price goes, I am asking for 25k (negotiable)

Thank You for looking

How do you get a sticker for a car with a TEC3 in an emission state?
I would assume it would have to be registered in a state where they had no OBD2 communication required for a sticker?

oh wow !

Converted back to OBD1. NY has emissions, but when you know people there's ways around the system.

Converted back to OBD1. NY has emissions, but when you know things and people there's ways around the system, just like with all the after marker turbo cars.


I just brought it up so whoever buys your fine car realizes this...Probaly a non-issue for most who have connections...:)

Not a problem...nothing to hide here...I am sure plenty of us on here with the high hp m3's been thru this scenerio before

Out of curiousity: Were your dyno numbers achieved with the temporary intake mani shown in the provided pictures, or with a different one? Thanks, great car!

yes its the exact same one...nothing wrong with that manifold, i just didnt like the look of it and wanted to re-deisgn it but just stuck with it

And another goes for sale....won't be many of us left after a while....good luck with the sale, someone is going to get a very nice car for a steal...no chance in you just putting it away for awhile?

Damn that sucks that you are selling it I know how much time you put into it

I know you hate to see it go but you'll have a chance to build another one after the business venture turns successful! Bump for a nice tec3 unit hehe and best of luck with the sale!

the cars will be around but have new owners.

Dayummmm, this seems like an epidemic! Spend many months(years) getting a car to it's extreme potential and throw it up for sale. So many folks are following this trend....

I wonder if I will have the same situation...... Spend thousands of dollars, hundreds of man hours, and put it up for sale once the proverbial goal is met...... I surely think not, but only time will tell........ Looks like we enthusiasts enjoy the CHASE much more than the CATCH!!!

Good Luck with the sale......

GL with the sale. 25k is literally theft

at least i drove mine for 2 years after the install before selling it....

Keep in mind, this car was turbo to begin with, I just ripped out the old and busted and replaced it with a power plant...It's a night and day difference, but I guess it's just a phase that we all go thru...

Once the new business venture starts stacking the paper then HPF Stage 3 e46 m3! :buttrock :redspot :alright

I have had the honor to meet you and your son. You are a good man who has his priorites straight. You will be back for more later I can feel it. :devillook

Well that's the ultimate goal or maybe due some tweaking to the new V8 monster...but for now this I must do in order to get to where I want to be in life.

I pretty much did as planned to this car except see it hit 600rwhp in my hands...who ever buys it I would love to come to the dyno/tune session and see it on c16 with 25psi so I can kick my self in the head

Damn, finally got it all done and now you gotta sell it.

Did you make 494whp on pump gas or race?

All pump :)

Damn that sucks but ill bet the bussiness venture will pay out even better in the end, GL with the sale. Wish i had enough cash to buy this its quite the deal.

All pump :)
Nice!!! It's unlikely but if I can unload one of my cars I'll be contacting you.

Now is a really good time to be in the market for a boosted E36 M3.

Good luck with the sale.

Let me know we can work on the price ;)

I remember when this car was previously for sale, this car has always been in good hands. That price is a steal for what you're getting.

This is a great deal ..
Just for a comparison I got a great deal on my 97 m3 and my TT STG2 kit and I paid close to what you are selling your car for and my motor doesnt have all the goodies yours has.:) Good luck with the sale.

you are right...so far I've gotten dozen of 20-21k offers, what everyone fails to understand and I always say, go try to setup ANY car that can do 600rwhp and see if you can pull it off for under 25k

Thats 100% correct. You will get your price when you find the right buyer.

:(, sad to see her go. But yeah, I wouldn't budge from $25K.

Alright guys, she is officialy on ebay. (I am officialy depressed)

Anyone wanna buy my 98 m3? Then I go get another loan! LOL.

very nice car Romeo. If i hadn't just invested in my current car i would definitely show some interest in yours. i'm sure you'll have no problems getting 25k for it. good luck!

Goodluck with the sale. Sick car. Curious..but it looks like it's possible to run the intercooler hot pipe above the subframe with the boostlogic mani, right? That's one problem I have with my PT-61 turbo I have the intercooler piping running under the subframe.

I like the ad. ;)

DAMMM!!!!!!!!!

I didn't even get a test drive and you are already selling it. I remember when your car and my was going threw some work at the same time. Now my sits and sleeps all day and yours might be going to a new owner. Hit me up son.:(

i wouldnt have budged from 30k if i was selling it!

A stock M3 goes for ~15k. Looks like you have wayyyyyy more into it than 10k !

Too bad I probably cant get a 25k used auto loan. The bank wouldnt like that. New car they would. Ill give you my m3 my jetta and my bike. If thats not enough you can have my girl too. LOL.

Yea, i just went to look at it also, and it said, "0 items found for '
120259692868 ' in completed listings"

Once you list an item, are you allowed to just pull it after a single day? are you allowed to 'change your mind' on Ebay after youve listed an item?

DSM's had been doing this since 90's with 2.0L on 4cylinder. Even for less, and it's AWD:)

That's for 2g's 7bolts wich from 95-99. But 90-94 and Evo's 2003-2008 are rock solid, all the same engine (4g63). And it's been proven from street to tracks. dsmtime.org will show you some of them.

I'm really sorry for making this off topic reply. I dont wanna ruin your ad m3romeo. I'm backing out. Thanks

...and then the crank goes for a walk. ;)

I removed it from ebay, because I wanted to make the AD nicer and take different pictures. I dont think I did a good job. But I already have a potential buyer...he is suppose to come and see the car. It's still open to everyone else to stop by and see it, it's not officialy sold.
