After spending a ton of money upgrading my track car, I ran out of time to go to the track, so it is with great sadness that I am putting my track car up for sale.

It is a 1995 BMW M3 coupe with the following modifications (not exhaustive list):

-All J-prepared modifications done except kill switch & window net (can send list)
-Full custom welded roll cage
-Full Coil-over suspension (brand new)
-Recaro racing seat (driver), momo (passenger) with Schroth 6-point harnesses (both)
-Drilled Zimmerman rotors with ceramic ultimate pads and SuperBlue fluid
-BBS lightweight wheels
-Fire extinguisher
-MOMO steering wheel
-Straight pipe exhaust
-Clear turn signals
-R-Compound heat cycled and shaved racing tires (brand new, only 2 track days)
-Stainless steel braided brake lines

The car has a small amount of damage on the rear bumper/trunk where I hit a tire wall in the rain at the Glen. No structural issues, and estimated $600 to fix. Over $30K spent in total upgrades . Still have most receipts.

Incredibly fast track car. Asking $11,900.

The car has about 114,000 miles on it, and the engine is in perfect shape. Compression tests were done (I have the results), and a ton of upgrades were made.

The PO spent about $15,000 in upgrades to get it ready for racing and then ran out of money.

I spent another $10,000 in upgrades and ran out of time. :)

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Here are the upgrades:
Being built to BMWCCA Prepared specifications, I have only done two track days and a new racers school with this car since buying it. I never actually raced with it. All it needs to be race legal is a kill switch, window net, and possibly some ballast to make minimum weight.


Redline oil in the motor, transmission, and differential and is changed religiously.

114k miles on completely stock motor.

Recent Compression Test: Cylinder 1,2,3,4,5,6: 205, 202, 213, 210, 205, 215 psi

Aftermarket: BMW X-brace, BMW strut brace, UUC Transmission mounts, UUC DSSR

Race prep: 6 point 1.5" 0.095 chromoly roll cage built for BMWCCA prepared or modified (not BMWCCA stock class since it boxes in the rear strut towers), interior is stripped per prepared rules, Recaro race seat, passenger momo race seat, two schroth 6-point harnesses, custom seat brackets that I built to give me some headroom, removed sunroof, removed A/C system, removed entire sound system, safety wired internal differential bolts, disabled steering wheel lock, and the oil pan was dropped to secure the oil pump nut. The heater was kept in place for defrosting the windshield. The car weighs in at right around 3000 lb with a 180 lb driver.


Recently replaced: entire cooling system (Behr rad, BMW water pump, hoses, t-stat), knock sensors, RTABs w/ GC shims, idler/tensioner pullies, main accessory hydraulic belt tensioner, remanufactured driveshaft, center support bearing, guibo, valve cover gasket, O2 sensor, Optima battery, rebuilt shifter, E46 RSMs with Z3 backing plates.

New full coil-over suspension, straight pipe exhaust, clear turn signals, r-compound tires (nearly brand new heat cycled and shaved), zimmerman slotted rotors, carbon pads, fire extinguisher, etc.
