I built this e46m3 for w2w but only used it as an HPDE car. This car is a fire system and fresh harnesses away from being able to run w2w in loads of series (and a detune for GLTC, which it would be great for!). Professionally overbuilt cage 1.75”x 0.120” tubing. This car ran a 1:25.x at NJMP tbolt this year. It is a monster. Big 3 done. Was SMG, chassis mount shifter 6spd now. It is plated and insured, and technically can be driven on the street, especially if you hate your neighbors. It is, however, a fully caged racecar, though I did drive it home once when the tow pig broke haha! Title in my name. $40k and a fair warning I’m going to cry a little when you take it away. 118k miles on it.

Stock s54b32 – stock tune and stock redline = reliable.
Recent valve adjustment.
Beisan vanos rebuild – with finding the “sweet spot”.
Bimmerworld vanos oil line.
AA headers.
Bimmerworld exhaust – I have the resonator drop in section included in sale as well.
Turner underdrive pulleys.
AFE intake.
ACL Rod Bearings recently done.
Bimmerworld 155* water t-stat.
Bimmerworld oil cooler bypass valve.
CSF oil cooler –10AN lines.
Oil temp gauge in the car.
Huge Spal 2082 fan controlled by stock fan controller.
AKG 75D motor and trans mounts.
Coolerworx chassis mount shifter – amazingly good.

Body:
Hardmotorsports splitter with custom made mounts.
Side rear windows are condor lexan.
Fiberglass sunroof insert.
Snead Speed Wing (I tried the 9lives wing, it was too much drag, the SS was quicker).
Stock hood with Lawrence’s N15 vent kit.
Custom hood latches (fully machined billet latches, not chinese ebay latches).
Hardmotorsports HVAC block off plate.

Suspension:
MCS 2-way absolutely awesome suspension.
Every bushing is new – limiters in the rear and welded the trailing arm pockets to the chassis when I did the subframe.
I just did both front wheel bearings and tie rods.
Solid steering U-joint.
Rear Stock S54 rear with fresh fluid.
Solid subframe bushing with poly diff mount bushings. CMP subframe kit done. Loads of pictures.
New guibo, new driveshaft bearing.

Brakes:
Brembo GT40 kit – Fronts are 355x32, rear is 345x28. 4 piston front and rears.
G-loc R16 front pads and R10 rears.
Castrol SRF fluid.
Hard motorsports cooling ducts.

Inside:
Cartek GT battery isolator.
5lb lithium battery.
OMP Steerings wheel with NRG quick release.
Sparco Ergo driver’s seat with removable halo on OMP bracket.
6pt driver’s side belt (out of date).
Sparco Grid-Q passenger seat with 5pt harness (out of date) on OMP bracket.
Steering lock flipped (so the key never locks the steering in place).
Bimmerworld Dual fuel pump setup.

Currently sitting on Alzor 10” wide wheels and comes with Apex 9.5” wide square set as well. Fits a 275.

I purchased this car running and driving knowing the car had an accident on record involving the passenger lower door area. I stripped it and sent it to a frame/alignment shop that does ferraris lamborghinis etc. They checked the chassis and the inside box was literally 0/0mm out. Perfect. Racecar build commenced.

I have the door glass and window regulators to be sold with the car in case the new owner wants working windows.

I have an 11mo at home, please don't waste my time. Plenty of pics, happy to text them to you.
