1998 BMW M3 Base Coupe 2-Door 3.2 E36 Race Car / Track car Manual

It is amazing!!

All Work done within last 2 years and less than 10k miles! Less than 200 track miles!!

This is a beautiful 1998 BMW M3 with a ton of quality parts. NO accidents ever, LEAN TITLE. Runs fantastic. Newly rebuilt engine, ew cooling system, uspension, nd a ton of other quality parts. I have receipts and pictures to support the work done. Some items were removed to reduce weight. The car comes in about 2,950 pounds. The car runs great and is FAST. When taken to HPDE or around other BMWs most ask if the card has forced induction. The new owner could take the car 2 ways, emove carpet, dd cage, eats and safety gear and have a finished track car, un it as is as a track day daily driver or add back the stereo and some soundproofing for a more comfortable high-performance daily driver. Either way, his car is outstanding and almost everything is new and it runs fantastic. Tons of top end horsepower and easily as fast as or faster than my E46 M3. Phoenix is a big city and most of the BMW guys around town recognize this car as the awesome ‘lightweight’ looking car. The E36 M3 came stock with 240 crank horsepower and 240 lbs of torque. We had this dyno’d after the engine work and it came in at 245 horsepower (3 pulls plus or minus 2 HP) HP AT THE WHEELS so WHP should be approaching 300. Car drives and handles AMAZING.
