    1997 BMW M3 Race Car (NASA PT/TT, NASA GTS 2/3, BMWCCA IP)

    My dad and I are selling our 1997 BMW M3 2-door race car. Bought the car in 2012 with ~110k on the chassis and since then it has evolved into a fully track-dedicated vehicle, primarily run in time trials with COMSCC.

    It is a turn-key track car that is very safe, well balanced, and nearly ready to go wheel-to-wheel racing. The car ran perfectly the last time it came off the track. This would be a great car for HPDEs/Time Trials or could be made to be a competitive NASA GTS2/3, NASA PT/TT C or B, or BMWCCA IP race car.


    Asking price: $14,500

    Suspension

    • Stock sway bars
    • Poly RTABs
    • Upgraded rubber FCABs
    • Vorshlag Camber Plates – -3.5 to -3.8 degree front camber
    • Rear Turner Adjustable Camber Arms – -2.0 to -2.5 degree rear camber
    • OEM X-brace

    • Brake ducts

    • Momo steering wheel w/ quick release

    • Wile Motorsports 3.5” front splitter (biggest legal splitter for BMWCCA IP and COMSCC 1-point mod)

    • Sunroof delete
    • Hood vent
    • Body – recently painted white but a few spots/dings from 5+ years of track driving
    • Car is straight – one left-side accident at 2nd gear corner at Canaan, but car straightened out nicely

    History with COMSCC Time Trials

    • 2015 Overall Championship
    • 4x Class Championships
    • 32 events, 28 wins, 3 FTDs, 15 lap records (12 active, 3 archived)
    • Lap times in current trim – Palmer: 1:42, NH-CC: 1:15, Thompson: 1:17, Mosport: 1:32, Canaan: 1:00


    This car still needs a couple things to go wheel-to-wheel racing, specifically:

    • Seat is not up to date – it will either need a re-cert or a seat brace
    • Windshield has a small crack
    • Needs a kill switch

    My dad and I have loved driving this car and developing the handling and performance over the past 6 seasons. With some of the recent tweaks, including the MCS 2-ways, the balance and handling are spot-on. The motor feels strong and the numbers are good. Starting in 2013, Wile Motorsports has maintained the car, and the owner Jake has been a great racing partner who has grown to know this car inside and out and care for it as if it were his own.
