For sale is a 1995 BMW M3 race car with a highly desirable S54 engine swap.  This would be a perfect car for SCCA and NASA Super Touring classes, BMW CCA, Grid Life, or even a super safe track day/HPDE car.  The car handles like a dream, driving at the limit of grip, incredible bottom end torque, and God-like braking capability thanks to the Teves standalone ABS.  You will love it!

 

Priced to move at $29,500!

 

I’m the fourth owner of the car and intended to compete in the NASA Super Touring 4 class.  I bought the car as a turn-key racecar February 2020 and have barely done anything to it except for the following:

  • Swap from 18” to 17” wheels.

  • Removed one billion stickers

  • Replace front quarter panels.

  • Removed non-legal rear wheel flares that were damaged anyway.  

 

The only reason I am selling it is because I’d rather have the cash to make an investment play that I want to make for my business.  

 

The prior owners threw almost every part of the Bimmerworld and Turner Motorsport catalog at this car.  Easily $70K worth of upgrades.  The S54 engine has had all the major updates to it to make it bulletproof.  

 

MUCH MORE PHOTOS AVAILABLE VIA GOOGLE DRIVE.  PLEASE ASK FOR LINK.

  • Two sets of APEX 17”x9” wheels with Hoosier R7s available at extra cost.


 

The car has a few things that need attention:

  1. Driveshaft guibo and center support bearing need to be replaced.  This should be addressed before taking to the next track event. 

  2. Windshield has a foot long crack coming from the lower driver side corner.  

 

Lastly, this car does not have a title.  I don’t see why you would even want one for a fully caged racecar that has absolutely nothing to deem it safe on the road.

 

Always glad to take questions or even a phone call.  Please message me.
