    Active Autowerke Stage 1 Estoril on Magma M3

    This is a feeler. No need to sell but it would be nice to get something AWD for winter. That being said, here are the details

    1996 E36 M3
    199,xxx Miles
    Estoril Blue Exterior
    Magma Interior
    AA STG 1 Supercharger
    UUC Ceramic Clutch Kit
    UUC Lightweight Flywheel
    Ground Control Coilover Suspension Kit
    Euro ZKW Headlights w/ 6k HID’s
    New brakes on all 4 corners
    Stainless lines
    Rear strut reinforcement plates
    Motorsports X brace
    New Michelin pilot sports on all 4 corners (car comes on contours)
    AUX input wired to stock head unit
    ZHP knob
    6/15 PA inspection

    The bad:
    CEL on, for MAF and O2 bank (cant remember which one). On cold starts it will idle rough for about 2 mins, then it will idle and drive perfectly fine.
    Passenger A pillar interior trim as well as driver c pillar are missing clips and will fall out occasionally
    Front end has paint chips
    2 door cards have minor damage from install
    GC coils can be clunky in the rear


    Overall this car is fantastic. Proper mods and maintenance its whole life. Not to mention the killer color combo. I got it with 198k and I believe I'm the 5th owner.

    Interior: 8.5/10
    Interior is very clean, no rips or tears in the leather, carpet and floormats are also stain and tear free. Headliner sags minorly, and the drivers door card separated from the bottom pocket and some clips are broken. I'll fix this myself before the sale.
    Exterior 9/10
    Paint is in amazing shape, no peeling, bubbling, rust or fading. I will give it a good polish this week if I find the time. There are a few small scratches, as well as about 5 dings around the car. There is a dent above the drivers door handle thats the largest of the bunch by far, at about 4 inches tall, its not deep and therefore a little hard to capture in pictures.
    Mechanical: 9/10
    Suspension is tight, car handles like its on rails and still comfortable enough to daily. Aside from the CEL and cold start issue I don't see why this car can't go for another 200k

    Onto the pictures:














    Asking 9k. Located in 18064

    I take the bus to work.
    gorgeous car. If there is no need to sell it, why are you getting rid of it so soon after buying it (1K miles)? For $200 you can have the maf and O2 sensor fixed. Why not do that to make it easier to sell?

    Beautiful car, love Estoril and seems like a reasonable price given the absurd prices others are asking lately. Glws

    Thanks man, AA makes a fantastic kit, stock driveability until you mash the pedal. The fit and finish is second to none as well

    Is the misfire condition fixed now? If so what was the cause?

    New spark plugs cured the misfire. still rough on cold starts. My guess is vacuum leak, haven't gotten around to smoke testing it

    Absolutely gorgeous car. This deserves a good home. I would keep it, if I were you, but I get you on not driving it enough. I can't stop driving mine. I've only had an m3 for about 2 months and I've put 3k miles on it! haha, that's pretty over the top for me.

    I have to ask what your rim/tire sizes are for the front and rear because that seems to be the exact sort of staggered set-up I'm hoping to achieve in the future.

    But most of all, GLWS.

    Thank you man. I appreciate it. The frons are 17x9 with a final offset of 22 (original et42 +20mm spacer) and the rears are 17x10 et17. The tires are 215/40 and 235/40 respectively. its just a shame that this car has to be sitting in my garage and not ripping around back roads

    Beautiful car…I wish I could one day own an estoril...

    Check the Crankcase ventilation system for the rough idle.
