This is the deal...
I found this car online which has a salvage title. I came to see the car and I was able to turn the car on and everything seems to be working flawlessly. No check engine lights! engine is instact. No airbags deployed as you can see in the pictures. The car is slighly modified with bilstein suspensions, Conforti chip and intake system, aftermarket exhaust, and I believe CAMS (not 100% sure about that though)
The car just needs a front end to be in perfect condition (front bumper, headlights, corner lights, hood and fenders) *front grill kidney is included.
The car has 144k miles with a 907 title If you're interested on this car, make me an offer and I will pass on to you my receipt which I put a deposit for the car to take the car with you. Any inquiries email me at skorpiond@gmail.com or send me a pm.

i think the gave it a salvage title cause it would probably cost = to or more than 1/2 of what the car is worth to repair it.

That's always the case no matter what the condition of a car is once its in an accident. With little money this car can be back on the streets and kicking ass.

What's your conception of "little money" and why did you decide not to take it yourself?

Just said little money to fix since there's nothing to fix on the engine. It's basically just put parts back together. I might not take it since I honestly can't afford it, otherwise I wouldn't post it here. I think this is a very good opportunity for someone to get a real cheap M3.

It completely depends on how cheaply you can get the car. There's going to be a lot of little stuff to be replaced, and I'm guessing the bulkhead will have to be pulled or replaced. The above-stated parts list is optimistic at best.

that cars worth like sub $5k. 144 k miles for a m motor is usually alot.

Hey Jonn,
After talking to you on the phone, I've realized this car is not worth letting go. I will keep it and bring it back to life; I promise! :)
I will give you a call when the car is at the shop so we can meet up.

Thats at Elite motors. I was gonna buy another 4 door M3 they had a couple of weeks ago. I dont think it will be worth it for anyone to buy that car, unless you can get the body work done for free. Thats whats gonna drive the price up. Good luck with the project though. What shop you taking it to?

Hey are talking about the 1997 green M3 4dr with 50K with Mulberry/tan leather interior ....it originally came from Md to nyc!!!
I know that car...
basically what they did to it is that they pulled the frame on it and made the car look like it has very light damage on the front end but in reality that car was smashed on the front end.... and some of the pulleys on the engine were bent ....the motor itself should be fine but that car needed a lot of work and it was a hard hit on the front end...and basically what they do at Elite is they buy cars hit hard on the front end ...pull the frame and make it look like it has lite damage.... then once you start fixing the car You'll discover lots of surpises... :D
....If anyone bought it .....good luck
I have most of the front end parts for E36 M3 if anyone needs them!!!

No.... the parts are not that expensive at all if you buy them from a salvage yard...and if anybody needs them I got them for great price from my parts car!!! :D

(about the buttons above the power windows buttons...continuation)
sorry I gave incorrect information. I do have the power door lock. But also I looked in mine and if you mean the little skinny buttons like above the shifter, then those are the seat warmers.

Yeah, that was the green one M3s52. The damage really didnt look that bad. I guess they did what you said. Luckily i didn't bid on it. Oh well, Good luck with the project again.

I went over there with skorpiond to check this car out. Fixing that car is a joke. I don't see any reason why it should take over a week to fix. The car was in excellent condition. I told him even before we went down to see it. That car is hooked up I can tell just be some of the details in the picture. Once we were there we noticed most of the mods this car has we even turned it on and just by hearing it I said this thing is a beast my M3 doesn't sound like that I can tell the engine was good and strong. He told me he spoke to the previous owner and the list of mods got longer. I'm just happy he's going through with the purchase because that car will definatetly be faster than mine, it'll make me mod mine to keep up or beat his. Hehe

The ease and time frame of the repairs is nothing. Whats it going to cost, is the question.

Look i'm former owner of the car. The mods that are in this are worth the price alone.. Good luck with it, and hope to that beast back on the road soon. :alright

if you have a body shop hookup, or know what you're doing, these kinda project cars are perfect. For the average consumer who see's something like this thinking "oh wow, I can have an M3 for really cheap" they don't know what they're getting themselves into. And to the people who keep saying once it's been in an accident, it'll never be the same, that's not true unless you have some body shop do a half ass job on fixing it up, etc...

My brother-in-law owns a body shop and he really hooks me up. I'm talking about he will have my car up to speed within days as long as I have the necessary parts to install. :) I'm expecting to spend less than $2,500 to have this car back on the road, I'll make sure I give you details of the spending when I'm done. I will make everyone jealous
