Besides the circus antics. The whole lot is for sale. Paperwork, seats, wings, a whole bunch of wheels, tools, tires, original parts... blah blah
$40k Who's talking now?

Moderator, move this thread somewhere where I can sell the car without someone else taking half.
Have an offer in and so it begins...
Give me the car and 20K I’ll return it to you with an S54.
Tempting. Would have to be a hell of an s54 for 20k haha. I'm confident I could throw one in myself for 6-7k junkyard, 10k with some preventative maintenance. I know the popular opinion is to put an engine in and stick it on BAT, but for the time being I like the idea of keeping it as a clean slate for the next owner to choose which engine to put in it.
Yeah 10K will get you a solid engine with all preventative maintenance, but all the harness’s required, the tuning and the ancillary items/changes are not cheap. Add in that little bit of labor left over and you’re sitting at about 20. You could probably pull it off yourself for around 14 to 16. It’s well worth it trust me...I have a spare Z3M S54 gauge cluster in my cabinet sitting here… 9K redline… Just putting that out there.
I appreciate the words of encouragement and willingness to help. Car is still available though.
Very nice car, i PM you
Get this thing away from me, please! $40k for 1 of one-hundred and twenty or so, albeit non running but all original parts included.
Is this officially a FS thread?
If not, I’ll point out that the last clean, low-mileage M3 LTW street car I’ve seen for sale recently went for $40k. If this one has been modified, wrecked/repaired, and now has a blown engine, I’d expect it to sell for a lot less. Swap in another engine, and it’ll be worth even less.
You’d be better off rebuilding the stock engine. That’ll probably preserve whatever value is left in the car. Collectors really care about numbers matching etc.
Emre (OO=[][]=OO) 318is
Which car was that Emre?
Pending sale...
An S54 swapped LTW sold for around 40k last year and you want 40 for one that's been wrecked and needs an engine... Good luck with that.

1997 Estoril/Dove M3 sedan (62k miles)
1999 Imola/Modena M3 coupe (1 of 2) S54 swapped
2002 Estoril/Black M3 coupe (Individual)
2007 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG (500hp daily)
yeah.. seems like someone has heard or seen EAG trying to sell LTW's and thinks his is worth that too... those examples were pristine... i would take PITT M3's offer, you should see his build... i did the same build and the cost is far more that 10K with maintenance..
98 Estoril ///M3 4/6
S54 swap CSL
