    FS: 1997 AVUS Turbo e36 M3 511whp AEM

    I have owned this car for only about 2 months. I have officially decided to sell. I am between houses and without a garage and the proper tools it is just not practical for me to own this car right now. And I'm just not driving much so it needs to go.

    Turbo 1997 E36 M3 Coupe – Avus Blue w/ Black interior (BMW Individuall, this is the original color)

    104500 miles

    Engine:
    -S52 w/ Cometic .140 MLS headgasket and ARP2000 head studs (Completed 8k miles ago w/ porting on exhaust side, and full 3-angle valve job)
    -Custom Turbo kit (SPA manifold port mached to head, SC6176 turbo, Tial 44mm wastegate)
    -10psi on spring and adjustable via AEM for high boost (triggered via switch that turns on high boost, meth injection and launch control) (511whp @ 17psi) ~22-24psi safe.
    -AEM EMS (AEM Twin-Fire ignition, Solenoid for Boost Control)
    -55# injectors
    -Walbro 255 high pressure fuel pump
    -Cooling Mist trunk mounted Methanol Injection kit (progressively controlled by AEM)
    -M50 Manifold
    -3” exhaust w/ Magnaflow straight through muffler.
    -Open Wastegate dump
    -New OEM radiator 15,000 miles ago
    -Always used Royal Purple engine oil


    Suspension:
    -Tein Basic Full Coilovers
    -Bimmerworld Rear Shock Mounts
    -Racing Dynamic Sway bars front & rear
    -X Brace

    Drivetrain:
    -ACT Stage 3 Clutch (holds great)
    -ACT Street-light steel flywheel
    -Royal Purple Synchromax transmission fluid
    -UUC Transmission Mounts w/ enforcers
    -Short shifter from Z3M
    -E46 ZHP shift knob


    Interior:
    -Black leather interior in Great Condition
    -3-spoke Steering wheel
    -Clarion High-End Head Unit w/ internal Hard Drive & Matching Amber lighting
    -Harmon Kardon Premium Sound System
    -Autometer Boost Gauge (Amber lighting)
    -Autometer EGT Gauge (Amber lighting)
    -Autometer Oil Pressure Gauge
    -Wideband Gauge integrated into where the OEM MPG gauge used to be
    -18-button OBC

    Exterior:
    -18x8 F & 18x10 R +35 Jline Custom Forged Wheels (10RL2), Black w/ Polished, reverse lip barrels
    -Clear lights all around w/ LED indicators (Corners, sidemarkers, tails)
    -ZKW projector retrofit into glass Glass Euro headlights
    -55w 6000k HID DDM kit
    -Yellow film covered fog lights
    -Fog light plastic covers
    -Original Harge 3-way adjustable Spoiler
    -Max Velocity RS lip spoiler
    -VIS Carbon Fiber Hood


    Overall this is a very beautiful car, runs/drives beautifully and looks the part. Interior is in great shape. Paint is very good and shines like new. Very fast, very fun.

    Full disclosure items:
    - The oil line return line on the turbo is dripping a small amount. Could be replaced with SS line, I may even get to this before sale, not a major issue.
    - Currently the car has a broken passenger window, the regulator is bent, I've ordered parts and this will be fixed prior to sale. Very common problem.
    - There are 2 cosmetic imperfections since the pics in the link were taken. one - front spliter developed a crack and is removed, it can easily be repaired but I havent gotten to it. There is a small ding above the driver side rear wheel well.


    Regarding the price, yes, this car was prev listed for 11k by PO. Please keep in mind I purchased it for that price in non-running condition with an undiagnoised issue and it was price occordingly. It is now priced as a fully functional sorted car. I took a large risk in assuming the issue could be fixed for less than a few thousand... The issue was resolved, it was bad gas from sitting for 6 months, a bad AEM twin fire and a bad tune.


    $14,000.00 Firm
    As is - Where is

    i wouldn't say im lowballing, he said make a offer and i did. im trying to make it feasable for myself, no discredit to the owner or the car, its just gonna be hard for me to spend 14 on a car right now. beautiful car and it looks to be done right. if he doesnt like my offer then thats ok no biggie. just wanted to put a number out there, id be lowballing if i said 10 or less. i think 12 to 13 is reasonable depending on how bad he wants the car to be sold.

    Going to be traveling for work the next two weeks, my response times to PMs, ect may be spotty.

    Slippy - please email me or PM me, I don't check this post that often. I can probably work with you if you are a serious buyer.
