Supercharged 1996 BMW M3 Luxury Coupe. For Sale
93,000 miles on the chassis
low mileage new motor
Active Auto Stage C-38 Stage II supercharged car. Garage kept, second owner. Acquired in 2002. Have several inches thick of records of service and improvements. Very clean paint and exceptionally well preserved chassis. I’ve finished the motor, exterior and stereo makeover and have upgraded the interior with a pair of Sparco Torino 2’s and the door panels have been built up to house a 5 ¼ and covered in leather. Also have approximately 25 yards of black and blue genuine Alcantara, where the plan was to cover much of the interior of the car but that is incomplete.
The car has been tuned and serviced by Active Auto in Miami, FL where it made – 444 crank HP. At that time the car had a VAC Motorsports S52 Stage II cylinder head, Schrick cams and the C-38 Stage II kit.
As of a few weeks ago the car just came back from service in UUC in Atlanta, GA – where it just received a new low mileage motor. Everything was put back together using factory components + BMW Group N Cams. The last setup was too aggressive, unreliable, and undependable. I’ve been driving this now for a few weeks, including the trip back from Atlanta, and it’s awesome. It idles as it did stock, the exhaust sound is amazing, the chassis is crisp, the grip level is high and the seats are super comfortable and grippy. I averaged 21 on the interstate.
I don’t want to sell it, I’m forced to. All the bs (I thought) I had seen about, “I’ve got kids” or “child on the way” turns out to have meaning when you’re the one saying it. It is a wedge in my family . I’ve tried to sell it before but couldn’t then, have to now. Hope you like it as much as I do:

After which they were covered in real black leather cow hides. There’s also an orangish leather insert where the arm rest was. When I ordered these online I thought they were a camel color. I surprised when I got them back from the upholsterer. The arm insert will have to be redone unless you just like the hideous color. For that I have genuine blue alcantara for the new owner. There is ~18 yards of dark blue and ~9 yards of black alcantar (both genuine alcantara brand ordered from an online upholstery shop).

Sandwiched between the sub box and folding seats is an amp rack that follows the angle of the seats. It houses the mid-bass and sub amp. Out of sight are the speaker wires, crossovers, power and ground distribution blocks.
