Street-Legal Track-Day BMW M3
Built to go fast on the track yet still be streetable.
This is a fantastic car for racing practice, lapping the track, or just driving around town - and will make you smile every time you turn the wheel.
I spent an absurd amount of money to buy the car, prep it to make it track-reliable, and add equipment to make it go faster around corners.Unfortunately I rarely use the car and spend all my time racing instead, so I'd rather sell it than see it sitting.
First - what it needs:
I'm told it needs a new head-gasket, for which I've brought my price down by $3, 000 to compensate. Despite this I've run 2 track-days and many street-miles, and lost coolant, but never overheated.
If I were keeping it this would be an opportunity to make sure the engine is reliable for future track use - head-gaskets are a very common problem with M3s, one we've experienced several times on our racecars.So fix it and know it's ready for many more years of fun.
Also throwing a code for a throttle position sensor, a cheap fix.
Otherwise a solid and reliable track car!
I still drive it once or twice a month just to exercise the systems.
What has been done to make it reliable and go fast around corners:
Even well maintained M3s probably shouldn't be taken to the track, assuming you want to spend the entire day lapping and not on the flatbed, something I learned the hard way.
So, after purchasing the car I took it to my local BMW M3 racing-prep experts to make it track-reliable and track-worthy.
This included about $10k worth of labor/parts to fix all the things that break under stress on old M3s (cooling system, bushing, bearings, etc.), as well as installing another $15k-$20k of performance parts and safety equipment.
In total I have $35k-$40k into the car, which after you drive it on the track you realize was worth every penny.
Major work and components include (but probably not be a complete list):Cooling system - new everything in 2015 including radiator, plastics, hoses, etc.Vanos engine timing systemDual fuel-pump (fuel starvation kit)BMW Z3 Steering rack (quick and tight, a big upgrade)17 Team Dynamics lightweight wheels & 18 street wheels and tires (shown)Quaife limited slip racing differentialRogue Engineering differential cooling coverPowerflex suspension bushings all the way aroundNew front suspension control armsFront adjustable camber platesTurner rear adjustable camber armsMoton Street/Sport coilover suspensionMoton ride height adjusters front and rearHypercoil suspension coils front and rearBrake cooling kit (hoses not currently installed)Wheel studsBMW chassis X-brace Rogue Engineering front strut tower brace B&B Triflow cat-back exhaust Sparco steering wheel & extensionUUC SwayBarian anti-roll barsBav Auto Brake Caliper Bushing Upgrade Kit Umntiza Angle Eye Lights & LED Tail LightsBrooks Motorsports Carbon Fiber Race WingMax Velocity front splitterVIS carbon fiber hood (needs to be firmed up)VIS carbon fiber trunk lidCarbon fiber sunroof insert (sunroof delete)Sparco Evo racing seatsVAC racing seat-mountsSchroth 5-point racing harnessesRoll bar (not a full cage, which would not be street-legal)The car has never been crashed, hit a wall or another car, or had any damage at all.It has probably been to 6-8 track days.
With a new head-gasket this will be a reliable and fantastically fun track-day and street car.
Questions?
Please email questions and send your phone number if you'd like me to call.
However, please understand that I'm a driver, not a mechanic, and I don't know much about the parts or setup specifics
. I rely on others with MANY years of first-hand BMW e36 M3 specific racing/build experience to tell me what makes sense within my budget. If there's something I don't know I'll try to find out and get back to you.
Please don't contact me to discuss how to set up a car like this - I won't know.
Thanks!Chad
