SOLD - Listing my Z3M track car for sale - has been well documented on this site (https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/1998-bmw-m-roadster-hpde-project/88267/page1/).  Decided not to go full blown race car with a full cage since I've found an E36 track ready option so just looking to get close to the purchase price of the race car I'm buying - $16k.  Have receipts for close to $30k in this car including the 2 chassis used for the build.  Well sorted and ready for HPDE, TT, and if you put a full cage in, wheel to wheel.  Car is fully registered and instpected in MA - stealth track car for sure.

Car was originally built from the ground up using a 1.9L tub and 3.2L S52 chassis along with all components and body panels. Aside from battery location the car is essentially an M Roadster track car.

I'm sure there’s other stuff I’m missing – ask. Well sorted car for HPDE, TT, and if a full cage is installed, T3. Will come with whatever parts I can’t use on my new E36 racecar. Only reason selling is to swap to a car with a full cage vs having one installed in this one.
