    FS: BMWCCA SPEC E36 Build - 1997 328is (South Carolina)

    ****** SOLD ******


    Hi all. Life has changed a bit for me, and a racing budget is no longer in the cards. I'm putting up my race car build for sale.

    Take a look at my build thread for details.

    It is street legal, and is my daily driver, so I left in the A/C, Heat and Power Windows/Locks. The car is a solid southern car without any hint of rust. It currently has 160k on the clock.

    To go racing, a safety cage, updated seat, electrical shutoff and fire system need to be installed.

    Price - $8,000 which is less than what I paid for parts ($7,000) and the car ($3000).

    Here is a parts list of what is included with the car:

    Tire Rack SPEC E36 Coilover Kit
    Tire Rack SPEC E36 Camber Plates

    Hellrot99M3, loved reading your build thread and car look nicely prepared. What can you tell me about the clutch, cooling system and have you dyno'd the car recently? Obviously the chassis/suspension is ALL nearly new, just wondering a bit about the drivetrain. If this was referenced somewhere I apologize. Thank you.

    I am looking for a another car to track only, I am concerned with the 160k mileage on the engine. Has any engine work been done?

    As far as I know, nothing has been done inside the engine. I drive the car daily, have autocrossed the car, and have had it wide open at the BMW Performance Center (see videos in build thread). Not a lick of trouble. The car runs strong and is very quick. In fact, you can hear the comment of the starter in the video saying "your car is quick!".

    Its just getting broken in at that point! The m52 is a strong motor.

    I am sorry to see you selling the car Tim. Good luck with the sale.

    Thanks Jeff. I really hate to see it go too. In the end, practicality wins out.

    I'm not sure Jeff. I think just DEs.

    I have to give him credit. He flew in, and drove the car 9 hours back to DC. a better man than me!

    I asked him to keep the thread going as he makes more progress with the car, so hopefully we see more!

    Thanks Jay!

    I just had an offer accepted yesterday on a MINI. I should be picking it up on Thursday afternoon. If all goes well, I'll bring it to C&C.

    I hope to be there but if it rains I may stay home. I missed the meeting last night because of a bad case of allergy assisted respiritory crap. Maybe I should have moved to the desert

    If it rains, I probably won't go either. I had a meeting at work run late, so I missed the club meeting last night as well.
