[jake06]

[SOLD]

1997 BMW M3 Coupe 445whp/409tq (w/ built S52 engine & turbo kit)
Hellrot Red
5 Speed Manual Transmission
Clean Carfax from when I purchased vehicle in 2013 178,5xx miles on body (still drive occasionally on weekends)

Selling the car because I am moving at the end of the summer and would like it to find a good home for some upcoming track days. Most of the labor was done myself in my garage over the past few years, I’ve tried to document the build as best as possible below. I’ve kept nearly all the receipts in a folder that I’m happy to transfer over to the new owner. If you have any questions I’m happy to answer them, please no test drives unless you have cash in hand.

-Leak coming from power steering pump: I’ve driven and cleaned under the car multiple times and have it pinned down to there
-Dent in back of trunk: I tried to picture it the best I can (no paint chipping and it’s the size of a tennis ball) I have another trunk with the wing holes welded over that needs to be painted then can be swapped on
-ABS not working: never got around to fully investigating this issue
-Airbag light is on: it was on when I bought the car as the original steering wheel had a bad slipring, it has been replaced so the car needs to be taken to a dealer to delete the code
-Catch can needs to be hooked up to exhaust to create more vacuum: you will need to buy a line & check valve but the exhaust is pre-drilled to take a AN fitting

Thanks, feel free to PM me if you have any issues/questions on your build!

Does this setup rub on dips? seem like really big wheels and tires and it's super low

Yeah it does a bit where it sits now. I've played around with it, and think the height its at is a good compromise between looks/rubbing. But obviously its on coilovers so it can be raised up and not rub at all, the fenders are rolled nicely to fit the setup.

This should sell quick. Great price!

I have at least double into my built motor, but i also make almost double the power.

Best of luck man!

[jake06]

I also raised up the car 3/4 of a inch as well. No rubbing what so ever anymore
