BUILD THREAD
I bought this car in 2006 as a very stock 325i and have slowly built it into a very capable track car since then. It has been an outstanding learning tool at the HPDEs that I've been using it for and its abilities let me surprise a lot of guys in their Porsches! I have lately been spending my track time and money on Chump racing and this beauty is just sitting in the garage. I don't have to sell it, so no reason to lowball, but I would like to let someone else enjoy it if the price is right. I'd also consider a trade for an e36 m3. Price is $10k obo.

Driveline:

-late '95 S50 engine with approx 105,000 miles (odometer matches engine mileage) -TRM chipped -Rebuilt G260 trans by Drive-gear. about 2 or 3 years old. -3.25 limited slip rear end is an excellent match for the S50 and the gearing works beautifully on most autocrosses courses as well. -newer Spec stage 2 clutch -Massive sport kit brakes http://www.massivebrakes.com/brake-s...front_300x22mm -stainless braided brake and clutch lines -AKG DTM shifter

Suspension:

-Complete Ground-Control setup with adjustable konis, shortened housings, and camber plates -strut tower bars front and rear -UUC Swaybarbarians sway bars -all urethane bushings throughout (can be noisy) -corner balanced and aligned by Speed Syndicate in St. Pete, FL -TRM 15x8 wheels (available with either Continental slicks or Hankook RS3 tires) -e36 M3 steering rack

Body/Chassis:

-mileage unknown but very good condition -late model valences front and rear -paint recently buffed and reconditioned - looks nice! -2 Sparco bucket seats with G-Force harnesses -rear interior removed -VSR roll bar -front carpet is still in place and pretty beat -Pretty rare BBS rear heckspoiler

Cons:

-The wipers and headlights have recently become a bit intermittent - I'm 95% sure its a dirty contact somewhere -rear windows have not worked since I've owned the car -front and rear valences were spray painted when mounted on the car and could probably use a respray. -there is a slow battery drain when the car is off. It will kill a battery in about 3 days if you don't disconnect the ground wire. -Hood was repainted. Its not perfect, but looks 1000% better than what some of these pictures will show

I'm sure I've left things out. Feel free to ask questions.

Lots more pics here

NO Andy! Don't sell it.

It's too fast and too cool and you'll miss it too much before long.

:) Thanks! (Is this Todd or Mark?) The car really is very fast and fun, however, now that I'm getting more into Chump racing, I'd like to replace this one with a car that is more street-oriented and less modified.

All I'll say here is that it is a damn good thing you're on the opposite end of the continent from me. Awesome car; it screams: "impulse buy me!" to me.
