-Headliner has started to sag since the weather got cold. I was quoted $175 to repair it by a reputable trim shop.

The car is currently located in Pittsburgh, PA but was originally a southern car from VA. I purchased it in January 2006 and drove it as a daily driver for a few years before it became a secondary vehicle. All of the modifications were done on the car with 24k miles on it. At that time the car was a local tuning shops promotional car and was being used for car shows, marketing materials for adverts, etc. I'm a level 1 Service Advisor and Dinan Specialist at a local dealer, and as expected the car has been maintained to the T. It has been well taken care of and has absolutely no mechanical issues. The car is covered with a OEM car cover 75% of the time. The cover was just recently replaced and was only used for a few months now. I can also have any BMW or Dinan accessories installed at heavily discounted prices if desired. Overall the car is in great condition for being 16+ years old. It could easily be converted back to stock, into a weekend warrior HPDE/BMWCCA car, or a full blown racecar.

Asking price is $15,000. If you have any other questions feel free to post or PM me and I will get back to you ASAP. It should go without saying, but if you don’t have anything positive to add to the thread then feel free to either PM/email me or please keep it to yourself. If you're serious, I’ll listen to any reasonable offer. The car is located just outside of Pittsburgh, PA and is about 25 minutes away from the airport.

Here are some older pics of the car from before the smoked tail lamps were installed and the rear wing was removed. It was also before the passenger seat and rear seat was installed in the car. The front plate was removed and a new OEM bumper trim insert was installed. I also installed Matte Black Kidney grills from Turner Motorsport. The hood decal and fog lights have also been removed. I will try to get some more recent pics up asap.

Beautiful. Too nice to be a track car. Throw the interior back in! Lol

What he said

[MartiniFK]

Ha! I did actually seriously consider putting the car back to stock and driving it daily again but I don't have most of the stock parts anymore. The car looks great in those pics. That was an advert. photo session for a local shop.

The performance parts are great. Glad you got rid of the wing. Swap a clean black interior with vaders and it would be perfect for that occasional track day. Haha

I may be traveling to Haddonfield, NJ to visit family sometime later in the year. If it's not sold by then I would consider driving it there. That is weather permitting of course, and we might not be headed that way until the holidays.

I'm looking to buy within a week. And a 7+ hour drive is just too long.

[JDarr2113]

Car still up for sale?

[mose121]

Hi everyone. I'm currently on vacation and there is no phone or internet access when we are staying on an isle. I'm not quite sure what the difference between an isle and an island is, but I'm on an isle. Anyways, I only have spotty reception on my phone if we are on the mainland so it's difficult to respond. I'll be back in town Sunday night and will try to respond to everyone by Tuesday evening. I'm also moving next week so as you can imagine my life is pretty hectic right now. Thanks to everyone for being patient.

Beautiful car. I too live in the Wexford area. Hopefully I'll see it on the road before it's sold. Good Luck!

I was told they made some very slight adjustments to the a/f ratios because they felt the car was leaning out a bit too much with just the AA tune.

Oh ok, so the AA tune came first.
Just making sure you caught that, lol.

I'm sorry for the delay in getting back to everyone. We're finally moved in and are getting settled. Verizon is supposed to be out to hook us up this weekend, but I'm not too optimistic about them keeping their commitment. They already told me that there's a chance they might not make it. Plus from what I've read they are notorious for missing appointments. Once I am back up I'll respond to everyone. Thanks everyone.

Gorgeous car. I am looking for a track/street car; something very much like this. Is this the 3.0 engine? any idea on the power numbers from that dyno run?
Thanks.

Unfortunately I was never able to get a copy of the dyno results from the previous owner. All I can tell you is that this is one of the strongest S50 motors I've ever driven, and I've had the chance to drive a ton of e36 m3's in my 10 years in the business. Aside from FI or cars with internal engine mods this one pulls as strong as any S50/S52 out there.

Saw this driving in Wexford around spring time.

Thanks for the compliment. Where did you see me at?

Thanks for the compliment. Where did you see me at?

On 19 right after Rahal's when it was merging into one lane for construction. Spotted you out mainly because it was a fairly low M3, then noticed the sparcos. Didn't catch the cage though.

Soo clean man. I wish i could have this lol
