FS: 95 M3 LSx/T56 widebody INDIANAPOLIS area

[doktor b]

i've had a good run with the M3 and i've done almost everything i wanted to do to it.
but it's time for a new project.

chassis has ~212k miles
rotating assembly has ~100k miles
everything else has 5k miles. oil just changed with fresh synthetic and ACDelco filter

let's start with the 'bad' news.

the M3 came to me super rough. it was keyed on every panel, there were missing bits, it was beat. like super beat.
it still needs paint.
and it needs wheels now as i'm selling the Advans since the FR cracked again and i'm not comfortable putting it back on the car.
there are rectangular dimples on the edge of the roof from a PO who crushed on a roof rack.
the sunroof rattles, but still functions and doesn't leak. i have a CF panel to install in its stead, but i haven't yet.
the front strut towers tore during the car's tenure with a PO. it was welded and hasn't given me any trouble in 3+ years. i have the bases of an AA strut brace on (sans bar) to help reinforce them as well as the BMW tower reinforcement plates.
no reverse lights. i have the switch in the trans. i just didn't care to hook it up. not hard. i was just over wiring and wanted to drive it.
the driver's window has stopped closing the last 1/2" once the door is closed. i haven't fixed this yet, but i have a good window motor to swap in and see if that resolves it. (i have verified the car knows when the door is open and closed.)
there is little interior left.
- dash is complete
- fixed buckets. Bimarco Futura for driver, Corbeau FX1 Pro for passenger
- no carpet
- no back seats
- no trunk lining, carpeting, or much of anything really. spare tire well cut out and paneled over in aluminum sheet.

the wheels in the pictures are Advan RGII 18x9 et 22 + 20mm spacer and 18x10 et25 + 15mm spacer.
they're not included, but can be for extra money....if they aren't sold. one of the 9s is cracked and i don't want to repair them again. so they're going for cheap....and hopefully soon.
will come on DS1s with some decent 215/45s and 225/45s i had laying around.

i guess this post is worthless without pictures. so here goes.
if you want to see something that isn't pictured, get at me and i'll get them posted or sent to you directly.
there are myriad pictures in my build thread as well as my IG. i'll try to be comprehensive here also.



































if you made it this far, you get to see this ludicrous price.
all i want is $13k without damaged Advans. if you want them, we can talk privately.

don't hesitate to ask questions. i have the next project lined up. just need to liberate some funds to bring it home.

thanks for looking.

That seems like a very reasonable price...my calcs for a swap are considerably more...

My receipts for a swap are considerably more.
it's like buying a great swap at a huge discount and getting a free car wrapped around them.

[doktor b]

back TTT

[doktor b]

i'm kinda surprised i still have this.

3.91 LSD is in and works great.

let's get this car sold.

[tigerpro357]

I would totally be all over this is the WAF factor would swing in my favor, but I've been told no more cars unless I sell my current e36

Then sell it and buy mine!
that was easy!

[tigerpro357]

Haha if only it were that easy, my e36 is currently in very rough shape cause I've started cutting to run exhaust pipes and other bits the way I want to make it into a Gran Touring styled build, I'd be lucky to get $500 for it as it sits, but man it sure would save me a lot of work, not to mention the associated costs of getting it from your location to my driveway in New England would send WAF in wrong direction lol

[doktor b]

Still for sale.
back to the top.

[doktor b]

make me an offer.

partial trade? let's see what you've got.

[doktor b]

here's some pics.

here's some interior shots since i'm sure someone will want them.

no armrest center console

driver's side
i have the knee panel. i just haven't put it back in since i replaced the clutch MC a few weeks ago. you can also see the balance of the carpet that makes up my floor mats. (with m3 floormats on top of them) i didn't want to do metal floor pans as i still occasionally drive it in the rain. slipping on metal floor pans adds to the difficulty of dropping my 230+ pound frame into the seat.
