Want to buy M3 E46

You are right, CSL box and Alpha-N is th eright thing...but everybody must be aware of the fact that it does not gain a lot of kW without further modifications...which are in total quite expensive! Turbo is much cheaper but in my opinion the wrong way...:nonono:

Can not see your vid....

This was my M3E30 with 2,5 liter and Carbon air intake in SPA:

This is about the cleanest E36 I've seen for sale... I've never seen it in the flesh though so I can't really be sure

That car looks clean but there are two things i noticed straight off the bat

1) if its a 96, it doesnt have the correct front grill and valence
2) there are no m-stripes on the seats

Thanks :thumbs:

I know zero about the E36's so I didn't even pick up on that :rollsmile:

The facelift valence was only from late 1996 (97 model year). That is most likely the correct valence for the car.

I saw that one already and I will check this car soon...

german spec has stripes on the seats...I had one...but the seats are the right ones...

with the grill I am not sure...

96 and 3 liter does not fit as far as I know, should be 3.2

By the way...I love the old E36 even more than the e46....

We never had the 3.2 coupe M3. Only 4dr.

Might have been a 95 built, '96 registered car.

We never had the SMG1. Thanks for small mercies:tease:

Thanks for that information!
So only the 3 liter was placed in the coupe? 286 horse power?

Do you mean CSL rims and the dyno run?

By the way...25 to 35 kW more by adjusting the software....:roflol::blab:

shows me that that guy has no knowledge....:flyfun:

When buying any 10+ year old ///M Car you would be silly to think that it hasn't been driven hard sometime/most of its life...

It is something we all have to come to terms with...

Also the fact he's changed the radio head unit puts me off. The M3 is a purist/enthusiast car... I think it's tasteless to do such a thing... :fencelook:
