1997 BMW E36 M3 Sedan LS1 Swap Sunroof Delete Red on Black Manual Vaders BBK tons more TX

I am selling a 1997 BMW E36 M3. It has been a great car for me and was a daily driver for almost a year. It has a 2002 LS6 swap with a Camaro T56. This car is just about perfect in every way. Everything works, interior is great, paint is quite good, and everything has been upgraded or replaced. Gets great gas mileage actually and is very easy to drive. Here is a mod list:

Subframe and headers are samberg pieces
Swap is entirely OBD2 emissions compliant - this is the ONLY e36 I know of that is obd2 compliant - you'll be able to register this car in any non CARB state without issue.
Every part of the car works - from AC to all dash lights and other systems, the swap is 100% complete

Performance:
02 ls6 swap
243 cylinder heads mildly worked over
EPS 226/230 .598/.609 112lsa+2 cam
TEA dual .660 max lift valve springs w/titanium retainers & hardened pushrods
ls6 PCV system
ls6 intake
36lb injectors (42lb @ ls1 rail pressure)
underdrive pulley
2.5 exhaust off headers through spun cats to center spintec muffler to 3" custom exhaust with magnaflow in the back - it sounds great and is never raspy or loud in the cabin.
ls7 clutch
all aluminum e36 radiator
double line locks (to retain ABS but allow normal line lock function)
ls3 oil pump
ls3 timing chain
ls7 lifters
Brand new MSD plug wires, Coils and spark plugs
Lightly ported MAF & throttle body
Dynos roughly 380 to the wheels on a conservative dyno

Chassis:
3.91 LSD rear end
new koni yellows - on-car adjustables front & rear
Ground Control complete springs - 425f/425r spring rates
Ground Control rear upper shock mounts
swapped 96+ stock m3 upper hats (-3.25 camber)
UUC swaybarbarian front sway bar
new factory m3 front lower control arms and bushings
Powerflex lollipops
new front sway bar endlinks
e46 rtabs with delrin limiters
Turner Motorsport Rear rubber camber arms
All bushings in rear end were replaced with new after swap
rear subframe bushings are Powerflex with larger rear washers (to combat documented cupping problem)
diff mounts are AKG 75D delrin - with heavy duty front diff bolt
rear subframe has been reinforced in the normal areas - including sway bar mounting points
bimerworld front undertray
clutch master cylinder is a Wilwood 13/16" with custom mount (to balance the ls7 clutch pedal feel)
17x8.5 Kosei K1s
Michelin pilot super sports 245/40r17
proper offset spacers on front for square setup clearance
ECS Tuning CSL big brake upgrade for front brakes, new rotors front and back with Hawk HPS pads
bronze brake slider pin bushings

Interior:
Non-sunroof car - very rare
Black vader fronts
Euro e36 m3 3 spoke steering wheel with new factory clock spring
18 button OBC - no dead pixels
Kenwood kdc-x994 reciever w/bluetooth, USB & mic wired
Pair of Schroth 4 point e36 clip-in harnesses
Autodim rearview mirror from 7 series
Pre-wired for Valentine One
Brand new M3 stitch shift and E-brake boots
Brand new BMW floor mats
Complete Bavsound Stage 1 speaker system
Brand new headliner and pillars wrapped

Swap specific parts:
relocated ABS pump
AN power steering pressure hose
3" aluminum driveshaft with rear adapter to BMW rear end
custom AC lines to mate bmw components to LS compressor
solid steering shaft with sound deadener wrapping
relocated heater valve
complete wiring integration with computer in stock bmw location
volvo pusher fan in stock aux location
corvette fpr/fuel filter & AN6 fuel feed with fire shield
GM fuel tank pressure sensor

This is an extremely fun car on the street or track. It is actually quite light and has so much feel when driving it, something missing from most modern cars, even BMW's. It will run 12.4@116 all day long on street tires, just to give you an idea of how quick it is. Drag radials even quicker.

I am sure there is even more than this I am forgetting. Lots of brand new maintenance parts recently done as well, alternator, water pump, battery, etc. Feel free to contact me with any questions or to set up a time to come see it.

Man, this thing is super clean. Did I miss mileage on chassis and swap?

[Bsaint]

beautiful car man, wish mine was that clean. Very similar engine wise/specs to mine as well.

Only thing missing is a euro rad cover and it would be perfect.

Great car and free bump! GLWS

[NeedforSpeed502]

Thanks guys!

Chassis mileage is 172k, swap mileage is about 80k, but it was pretty much rebuilt when installed.

[M3BimmerBilly]

One of the all-time greatest FS threads ever. Wow.

[M8 > *]

I remember this car well, as e36 m3 sedans are something I tend to follow. Not sure if you know this or not, but at this point that drivetrain has 100k+ miles, and certain info may be outdated as that mod list is mostly from the original seller from over 5 years ago. Did it end up being repainted? As I remember clear coat issues as well. Not to say it isn't a clean, well built car, but potential buyers should do their research.

if you're going to bash OP you should read the thread. The full mileage was disclosed, and OP provided great photos of the paint. Go spew it elsewhere. Amazing car OP, GLWS, I hope you get every penny.

Awesome ride!

Wow it is so damn clean! Beautiful job!

This is a discussion forum not Ebay. If someone knows something about the history of a car they should speak up.

OP - Car looks like a beauty. I'm sure someone is going to be happy.

[Moeman10]

Like my other post said. OP disclosed everything and provided great pictures. There's a way to ask questions without making claims about a vehicle.

[Steinkek]

Wow! Very clean.

So, if I'm reading this correctly this original asking price was around 17k. I'm mobile so I can't dude by side the specs, but had over 10k in value been added?

Last post indicates closer to 14k the last time it sold

[madsedan]

What was done to the car since the OP bought it in 2015?

This is exactly what I want! I would've taken it off your hands when I first saw it on Craigslist but I just ordered a new truck and I don't have room for it. GLWS this car is a beauty
