For sale: BMW E36 318/M3 hybrid

Bon Bon

It'll be fine
Breaks my heart to do this, but I'm getting stress from all directions, I'm in masses of debt, I can't afford to get to events and when I do it'll suck anyway because I won't have time to practise. So, my new car is for sale. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Speclist...

Mint E36 318i as the origin.
S50 B30 M3 3 litre engine, 286bhp stock, the bottom end has gone, need to strip down the engine to see how bad it is, but it should be repairable. If not then I can source a replacement engine for you. The exhaust manifolds are worth at least £350 alone, the head must be worth £400, and I can get you a new engine for about that much. I can get a replacement engine right now, but it's a bare engine, so no manifolds etc to duplicate and sell.
Eibach Pro Street coilovers, really fucking handles. It needs tracking as there's waaay too much toe in at the back end.
M3 3 litre gearbox, close ratio job with direct drive 5th.
Welded diff, 3.38 ratio, will do about 65 in 2nd gear. I've not timed it but I reckon it'd be looking at the 5 second mark for 60, it'll do 165-170 top end.
Completely stripped out, stock 318 weighs about 1250kg, and you should feel how heavy all the matting and seats etc were in it! Ridiculous, dunno how much weight it's lost, but it's lost a LOT.
Sparco Evo 2 seats, really bloody good seats, want to keep one really but the car is better with two.
Satin black paintjob, took me AAGES to do, but looks excellent now. I'll even throw in a couple of cans for touchups on stonechips etc. haha
Reiger Infinity sideskirts, similar to M3 twister style but a bit more beefy looking.
Seidl rear bumper.
Stock front bumper, I had a couple of cool front bumpers on order to match the rest of the kit, I'll point you in the direction of the supplier if you want one.
Nardi 'look' (ish) steering wheel, 3 spoke alloy job, quite small and chunky.
Golfball gearknob...pimp. haha

It needs the bottom end sorting, and an exhaust, as I had to borrow one for Snetterton. I have a standard 3.2 Evo rear section, so all you need to get made up is straight piped up to it. The rear section has mahoosive silencers on it so it will be just fine with the straight pipe. With this exhaust setup, a well insulated intake and a remap, you'll be looking at 300-310hp.

You have no idea how much blood, sweat and tears have gone into this car, it's so close to completion, but my plans are falling apart, I'm stressed out over it, and it's not going to come together in the rose tinted spectacles way I had hoped it would.

I've spent £3500 on the car and bits and peices (seats, wheels, etc), nevermind all the massive amount of man hours that have gone into it, the use of space and tools etc Moffatt has been so cool over, the help beyond the call of duty from Clarkey and Ant to get it ready for Snetterton, I think we worked until 4am or something. :worthy:

So badly want to keep it, it's just tearing me apart being stuck at home with no transport, debt over my head, arguing with my parents about it all constantly, it's not worth the aggro. Look to see me in the 2006 season, until then I think I'll just play about in whatever car I have. :(

Open to offers, don't take the piss though because I'll probably flip out or something. lol :p This car is fucking fun, compared to Moffatt's 400bhp+ M Coupe I really couldn't tell that much of a difference, properly fast and lightweight.
 
Alex,

All the pics I've got are from Snett, I'll take some proper pictures next time I can get to see the car. Just needs the exhaust mid section, doesn't need the full exhaust. I need to fit the rear bumper and skirts too, I've only lined them up so far, not fitted them.

This car scared the shit out of me, its too fast, and me to say that well, its fast!

Sorry to hear you having to sell it mate :( will be a total shame, and being someone that saw the amount of work and heart you put into every part of that car, I can't only imagine how upset you must be to see it go :(

Bargin to someone that wants to get into the drift scene.

Superclarkey.
 
Mate, this isn't good :no: Can't believe you've got to sell it already. I know what you mean about lack of cash adn being in debt as I'm struggling like hell just to pay for the next event and fuel. Luckily I have lots of other cars and junk i can sell at the moment to get me by until things improve. Can't you store the car until you can afford to fix it and make some readies some other way?
 
Ben that is a real fricking shame. I'm in pretty dire debt as well but I can just float my way for 9 months before I need to pay it all back
 
Shit Bon Bon... I don't like your ginger student arse or owt, but come to Rotorstock and get some free counselling from Brother Will to help solve your problems.

Crime is a good way to raise funds....
 
Meh I'm being a prick, why am I selling it? So I'll probably end up broke and unable to buy any new clothes, what's new?

Not for sale, I've been talked out of it by a bunch of people.
 
dammit, if you'd posted earlier I'd have saved myself the effort of that post^. and this one. shit.
 
Does anybody want to buy the 5?? No.

Use the edit button then you retard.

No it's not, it's a very useful feature. :p
