    Looks very clean!


    Since this will be your 3rd boosted e36 m3, I'd go with a custom kit and TRM tuning. By now, you are well aware of what you want.

    Definitely. If nothing else, you are helping others by sorting out and turbocharging these E36M3s and then selling them to enthusiasts. You do a nice job with the cars.

    Do not hesitate (except to inspect it )
    There is nothing better than an E36 M3...with a Stage II TRM.

    Wisdom has come...from experience.

    ok guys, just picked it up from the original owner... this car is CLEAN and I will LOVE slapping a TRM stage 2 on it .
    The only problem it has is that is completely stock (which I will take care of that soon) an the driver side mirror does not work. All records even a car cover.
    Although I dont like Dakar yellow I had to do it...

    Yes, sick, very sick indeed.
    Well, it has been close to 7 months since I sold my Turbo M3. Any good deals from TRM or any used Kits for sale?
    Gotta start ASAP

    Talk to TRM because it wasn't that long ago they had a sale for about ~15% off.
