Unfortunately some things have come up and I need to get rid of my pride and joy, my 1995 M3. The car is an absolute blast and love driving it, but I also need to take care of priorities.

*1995 BMW M3
*Daytona Violet Exterior / Black Vader Interior
*165k Miles on body and S50
*H&R springs / Koni struts
*Fresh .140 MLS headgasket
*ARP Head Studs
*Newly machined cylinder head
*413 Chip Tune Running 12 Psi
*Siemens 60# Injectors
*Porsche 993TT (803) MAF
*Walbro 255 High Flow Pump
*UUC Cerametallic Ultrasmooth clutch
*SPA Manifold w/ Genuine Garrett GT35R (1.06a/r)
*TiAL 44mm Wastegate, recirculated
*Genuine Precision "750hp" Intercooler
*Carr Industries all Aluminum Radiator
*All SS braided hoses / billet AN fittings
*3" Turboback exhaust to Magnaflow Muffler
*666 Fabrication charge piping
*Brand New Rear 255/40/17 Falken RT-615 tires
*XD16 Wideband and gauge, EGT, boost gauges
*ZKW Headlights, 8000k HIDs, Red/Clear tails
*Suede shift knob and boot
*Mint interior, Alpine CD deck













Car made 502whp @ 18psi on a mustang dyno, does a 7.4 second 60-130 mph pull, and just trapped 126 mph at lower boost. Beware the car will come with a 12psi tune. In the pictures, the stock springs are in the rear, but will come with H&Rs installed, so rear will sit lower.

The bad:
*Muffler needs tips put on. Since the tips weren't installed, the rear bumper melted a bit.
*No A/C
*Could use front tires soon
*Car is 13 years old, it isn't perfect-- has some scratches, and rock chips up front. Also a dent in the rear near the bumper, tough to see in pictures.

I'm firm on the $14,500... Consider how much money and work has gone into this car. I think you'll be hard-pressed to find a turbo e36 M3 this cheap anywhere else, especially a build of this caliber. If anyone is interested they can contact me at turboe30@gmail.com or send PM.

Thanks,
Chris

Where are you located?

[a32guy]

Sorry, located in CT.

[325icintn]

Bargain of the year. Best color, best wheels, best man built.

If you have an NA car now and are considering going turbo, sell that car and buy this one. No way can you match this deal on a new build at this price, even if you gave your current car away.

Chris, good luck. You know I am very sorry to have you out of the e36 tuning crowd.

Plus 1 what are you thinking bro? Dont do it......

[bimmerboy328i]

Wish this had come along when I was in the market for another M3. I'm with 325icintn, someone needs to pick this up quick.

[paul e]

car looks really nice. Paint looks good - great color too

[SiGmA]

Chris... Dude... Part it out and sell the CAR for that much. We both know you're into it for close to twice that, in the last year alone! Sad to see her go

[jfdmas]

soo hard to sell cars like these in todays market.

[m3jasper]

Extremely fair price! This is a steal for whomever picks it up!!!

Best of luck with the sale, it should go very quickly at this price...

[Goathumper]

holly crap! where were you at the beginning of the summer with these crazy prices? Wouldnt want a scion tC would you?

Anyways, i hope the circumstances surrounding the sale are nothing too terrible.

[GreenBeem93]

Why no 18 psi tune?

[PhatTonis]

wow if this came a few months later i'd prolly scoop it up

[gnarfy]

wow ! at this price I would restore the car to stock, and sell the kit...

I paid more than that for my 99 M3, and it wasn't turbo !

[a32guy]

Thanks for the kind words fellas. Yes, I would love to keep the car but unfortunately I am unable to. This doesn't mean I'm out of the BMW scene, I'll be back eventually. And, I'd rather see the car go to an enthusiast and be enjoyed, rather than torn apart and sold part by part.

Why no 18 psi tune?

Not an 18psi tune because I was running the car on Autronic SM4 management. The Autronic is selling separately from the sale of the car, and I'm just selling the car with a chip tune good for 12psi (wastegate spring). Luckily, $650 will get you a TRM tune, then the car would be safe for 500whp again. I just cannot put any more money into the car at this moment of my life.

[bemdub]

Good luck with the sale, it's def worth the price.

[BadBoostedBmwM3]

Man, that is a real great price. Your car was my goal out of my S50. But, GL with the sale and don't go any lower.

[m3j0n]

chirs, so the car will need a retune to run, or what?

[JordanMD88]

chirs, so the car will need a retune to run, or what?

Jon you know you want to come back to Atlanta

[Mod Addict]

Wow thats a good deal... I think I spent that just on turbo stuff this year.

Good luck with the sale.

[a32guy]

Thank you guys for the kind words!

chirs, so the car will need a retune to run, or what?

Well, it will run and drive fine on wastegate spring (12psi), but if you want to run more boost, I'd recommend a TRM tune.

[chris4soc]

Good luck with sale!!! Your car is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!

[So Live]

Sad day in the CT bmw scene. Best of luck Chris!

[bennyfizzle]
