Car is Daytona Violet over dove grey leather.
I purchased this car earlier this year with a blown stock 3.0 motor.
I had a low mile 3.2L motor dropped in with the 95 electronics and custom AA tuning to run it.
The donor car had 23k on it when it was taken out. The body of this car has 119k on it now. If you know BMW, then you know this is nothing.. especially with the fresh motor.
The car runs good, and needs a good home.
I simply don't have time for the car right now because of my school situation and it needs an enthusiastic owner that will appreciate her for what she is.
I will probably be purchasing a new E46 M3 when I graduate.
I have already replaced many parts on the car including
Sachs clutch kit
Redline fluids in tranny
Short shift kit with UUC tranny reinforcers and UUC RK II aluminum shift knob (this car shifts awesome)
2 new Yokahoma ES 100 245/40/17 tires rear .. car comes with staggered wheels
European clear lights all around (OE/OEM)
crossdrilled rotors with high performance pagid brakes (incredible braking)
AA custom EPROM
Autothority flowtech intake
"guibo" flex disc
fuel filter
3.0L exhaust manifolds(suppose to give more torque- but yet not as free flowing as 3.2L)
Neoprene "vader" seat covers
I know theres a lot more , but I cant remember them right now
Car has fully functional On board computer, power sunroof, key activated window roll up (outside of car) and so much more
This car is indeed rare as there wer eonly 200 cars made in Daytona Violet this prodcution run. And all other 95's come with the less torquey 3.0 motors.
This car will outrun any other M3 95-99 with basic mods
Power estimates are up from stock 240 to around 275 with tuning and a hellova a lot more torque over any stock M3.
I have not had time to enjoy the car nor continue working on it.
As far as I know the car needs an A/C evaporator and recharge, factory 3.2L engine covers to make under hood look neater, and front driver seat reconditioning (if you dont like the covers)
Last few times I drove the car it was throwing a check engine light for the oxygen sensor.. so that may also need replacement.. When it flashes it makes the car stumble on idle.
Hmm.. what else can I say?
This car has a lot of potential, it just needs some TLC and time I don't have.
call me at 757-561-xxxx with SERIOUS inquiries ONLY.
If you don't have the money to make an offer, please don't bother wasting time.
Asking price is a VERY reasonable $17,000 (I am a motivated seller)
. Cars like this go for over $20,000 usually.
If you were to try and duplicate what I did it would cost over the 20k mark as daytona violet M3's can't be had for uner 15k, and the engine swap usually runs you around $8,000 all said and done. Also , this car has no accident history, but it did hit a curb and the lower bumper lip came off (have not had time to reinstall but I do have it)
