This car has been well known in the bimmerforums forced induction community under the handle highboostingm3, has been to Bimmerfest, has been in Eurotuner Magazine, etc.. It has gone through many transformations under the hood as well as a huge exterior transformation in which I mixed an e30 m3 style with my own clean futurist twist. I am only the 2nd owner. I bought the car with 12,800 miles on it. It was fairly stock, just had a chip, lowering springs, tint, and Racing Dynamics wheels. Since then it has been a journey of love. Now, however it is time for me to move on. The Buy It Now price is a throw it away price. For what was spent, someone is absolutely stealing this car for a song. I could install the OBD2 DME/harness/2200cc injectors/TRM Tuning/TRM MAF/MAF wiring and tune this car on e85 plus dialing everything in for 900whp and sell it for $40,000+ but I have had enough of the journey. No more shop time and upgrades for me. It is time for someone else to do that and enjoy this car.
She starts up with battery charged, however I don't advise using the old tune currently on the car. The 02 sensors might have gone out, it has a vac leak, a/c needs work, afr gauge currently does not have power, so I am only excepting someone who will pick it up via tow or trailer. I advise to have the entire OBD2 setup previously mentioned installed, everything inspected, and make her tip top for e85 tune to make 1000bhp. It won't take muchjust think how much you'd spend on a stock e36 m3 and at the end of the day you would not have the one-of-a-kind custom widebody in such great condition. Plus, you can then sell the OBDI DME, harness, RK Tuning, RK Tune MAF/cable, and 80lb injectors.
I also have perfect powdercoated BBS-RS wheels I never used. If you want me to add those then add $2,000 otherwise I will sell them separately for more. They are a tad wide for this car, however you could get new outer bowls and have them fitted.

• Vacuum is 12ish at idle so most likely a vac leak.
• The stereo system needs a couple caps or cap system otherwise it overheats after bumping and some amps turn off.
• Little aesthetic bit above gas cap opening.
