2003.5 – Alpine White – SMG – Clubsport Build – 114k miles

Price is $50k OBO. I rather not part out, so would work with the right buyer if particular mods did not suit their needs. It could easily be converted to more of a street or track spec. I do understand everyone has a different opinion on mods, but please consider the true cost of this build. You simply could not replicate it for anywhere near asking.

I’ve owned this car since 03/2011 when it had 55k miles and mostly stock. Was a daily for many years, caught the track bug, then didn’t drive it as much, and then made it more streetable thinking I would maybe drive it more… but life. Living in the city makes it tough with 3 cars (Chicago).

I know this car inside and out. I have personally done essentially all of the work (with the help of some friends), aside from building the diff. Unfortunately my well known build journal was wiped when M3Forum went down.

Yes, it has the big 3 done. Rod bearings (108k), full Beisan rebuild (80k), and subframe reinforcement (75k/112k). ​
