SOLD: 97 BMW M3 (e36) - TTB/TTC, Track or Club Race Car - IL

SOLD!!! Thanks for looking!

 

Up for sale is my 1997 BMW M3 track car. I am the third owner, have owned it since 1999. It has 5-speed manual transmission and 138,xxx miles. Makes for a great HPDE or Time Trials car today (TTC or TTB), and with some additional safety equipment, would make a great club racing car. This car is VERY fun and easy to drive!!! Has won first place NASA Midwest TTC at Putnam Park, Autobahn Country Club, and Road America in 2008. Midwest track laptimes available upon request.

 

The car has many upgrades to improve the performance, safety, and longevity in many areas. Last time it was on a dyno it put down 246 RWHP (~290 bhp at the crank). Current vehicle weight is around 2,781 lbs w/o driver and 1/4 tank of gas. Weight savings efforts have removed some creature comforts. Title is clear and currently has IL plates and insurance, I occasionally drive it on the street and to/from track events. I have taken very good care of this car and spared no expense. Well sorted and upgrades were very carefully chosen. This is a solid and reliable car.

 

I will be sad to see this car go, but have decided to pursue my wheel-2-wheel racing efforts in a kart this year. I hope to be back into sports cars someday.. when the time is right for me.

 

Asking $14,200. Vehicle is located in Peoria, IL.
