GET READY TO LAUNCH 500hp MCoupe FS on EBay

[AU99Z3MCoupe]

Here is one that just popped up...I am assuming he is a member here given all the mods...Low mileage for a nice AW with BLU/BLK interior..

[TexaZ3]

That is an unfortunate color combo.

[SunzOut]

That's about 10 miles from me if any one wants it checked out.

[GB5416]

Anything that includes an estoril interior is unfortunate, but with white it's not as bad as some. Love the nitro switch.

[AU99Z3MCoupe]

Check out the photo of the door sill ///M logo....Mini floor mats....All those mods and not even a set of Z3 mats....

[IRPancake]

So the guy has a supercharged z3M with 100 shot of NOS and its never been raced? my ass it hasn't

[jrmartin03]

Notice on the vehicle history report it was sold as frame damaged at an auction in 2005. Wonder what that's about and what they did to fix it.

But the estoril exterior is awesome.

[Ghery]

Not the most tastefully modified coupe, especially love the mini cooper floor mats

Nitrous with an RMS stage 2 s/c, should be fun

[jotti]

RMS Supercharger (fail unless lucky)
Mini Cooper floor mats (definite fail)
Hamann wheel anchors (counterproductive fail)
Nosssss(vin diesel cough) (was the RMS not enough? fail)

Not my cup of tea. Might be a fun car but I'd be cautious of its past as mentioned.


This is the kicker:

This M coupe has been tastefully modified and is a blast to drive. Most of the aftermarket parts have only a few hundred miles on them, one of them being the clutch. The supercharger provides plenty of extra power, so I have not used the nitrous, never had to.

If he has receipts documenting mileage/aftermarket parts install, it might be worth it to the right buyer.

Estoril interior never photographs well, in person and when taken care of it looks perfect with the car.

So yea i wouldnt know what to do with this car other than strip it and take it down to bare bones for a track rat and hopefully sell enough of the junk and bling to make it worth while.
It scares me though this sounds alot like my friend with an 88 M3, he just told me hes going to shave everything off the car(ie door handles, roundels, antenna) and strip the paint to then apply line-x to the body. "it will make a great autocross car" he said. I could only stare at him with my mouth hanging open. But yea something tells me this guy had the same crazy guy telling him that would be awesome

I am thinking that the appropriate response to that comment is "F*ck You!"

However, everyone is entitled to their hair brained opinions.

Estoril is the best color for everything, period.

I bid a couple grand, and good luck with the sale.

[Nijapo]

Those Hamann pieces look terrible; the mirrors look like Z3 mirrors that have been side-swiped.

[clintjg]

Yeah, I'm not sure what's up with the mirrors.

RMS doesn't actually make the charger - Vortech does. That RMS aftercooler is a well built hard to find part though. At least Osh didn't try to tune it, but I'm not sure how the Dinan tune would work on a non-dinan kit car. I've heard of issues.

I doubt the NOS was never used. Who installs that and says 'Nahhhh'.

IIRC 400 crank with the charger is optimistic.

Front and rear bumper appear to have some fitment issues.

[CLWNSHU]

I hate those side grilles

[supremesole]

First thing i noticed

[windnsea00]

I like the color combo...the rest of the car=fail.

[mpire]

Yeah, what he said.

[yuriosipov]

wondering about the color why a lot of people dislike it! I have an Estoril Blue M3 with an all black interior that needs to be refinished ASAP.. and was cosidering doing a two tone interior with a modena/black interior... considered the estoril interior as well but I think that would be too much!

RMS products are top-notch. Osh's personal tunes and business practices are equivalent to back alley abortions though.

With a good tune and parts, I've seen people get 500whp+ with a vortech v2s on S52s.

Bullsh*t.

However, estoril leather is very pricey. A hide is around $1250.

I would look into Zoran/MZ368s setup. They went with alcantara, but used blue stitching. Its very sharp.

We all know that 500 hp is not acceptable for Clint.

I bid a few thousand on ebay thinking I could just steal the interior and sell the car as parts.

At least I artificially drove the price up to get it going.

That's great but I don't believe the posting w/out a dyno sheet - especially with the commnet "never raced". It must sound crazy loud because my V2 is horrificly loud and I'm not quite 400Hp. The only S52s at 500Hp or higher are all OBD swaps with turbos... doubt it can be done with belt drive FI.

[jrmartin03]

This coupe has come all the way down to $21,800. It wasn't that interesting at $28,500, but now I think it's a pretty good deal (especially for alpine white, 26,580 miles and a clean title). I have no doubt it would have sold long ago if it was stock. Someone could probably buy it, part it out, and still have a car worth more than they paid for it.

The ad only says 400hp and that the clutch is rated for 450hp. --The OP in title of this thread is who claimed 500hp not the Ebay ad.
