$120K M3!

M3 Esq · 07-08-2013, 07:38 AM

I was at the ALMS races at Lime Rock this weekend and saw this at the midway. Yikes!

Ghetto2315 · 07-08-2013, 07:47 AM

I'll take 2...

Mahmood07 · 07-08-2013, 07:48 AM

It better come with the S65 in a box..

mdosu · 07-08-2013, 08:06 AM

Hmm dinan 4.6 explains the 100k but struggling to add up the last 20k

NYBulldog · 07-08-2013, 08:11 AM

Well the engine adds up. All the retail pricing adds up in what (may have been) spent. Nice car. There is a very small market, can be moved to the right buyer. I'm guessing its a brand new dealer car trying to pull out an exclusive?

10K for brakes and exhaust.

Another 10K of cosmetics + miscellaneous small performance stuff like intake, throttle body and pulley.

lol, I mean, i can see the ledger summation, I guess I'm just struggling personally why I would pay up beyond 100k.

Over the life of the car, I'm guessing most people here will spend over 100K on their car.

The question is whether you want to spend it all up front and have all the stuff you wanted pre-installed, or whether you want to amortize that over the life of the car.

Nati Beastcat · 07-08-2013, 09:31 AM

Dinan stroker kit is 26K alone.... Cool if you must have that N/A engine. Why in the hell wouldn't you just put a blower on it for less than half the cost?

duk · 07-08-2013, 09:56 AM

i doubt that engine makes 527hp

Transfer · 07-08-2013, 10:02 AM

527/407 huh. I wonder if their math adds up on the dyno. I'd be very interested to see what a car this Dinan'd out actually adds above a stock vehicle. 25% gains?

Powerbeast · 07-08-2013, 10:08 AM

Rather have a blower!

the car is owned by the owner of prestige, he did this with a white one also, but i dont see this selling anytime soon as its been sitting for almost a year

PrimoM3 · 07-08-2013, 11:22 AM

I'd take the stroker over a blower, but not at this price.

Hyperjack · 07-08-2013, 11:36 AM

they shouldn't call it a limited edition anymore...

all those modifications just ruined that qualification. hopefully they can offer the new owner all the original parts too so the car can be put back in it's original condition if/when the owner prefers that.

MTrezzz · 07-08-2013, 11:39 AM

Isn't the purpose of a lime edition car to be stock?

i know but for how much it costs and the performance it could deliver it would have that lime rock owner feeling a little bit of regret

kwike92 · 07-08-2013, 03:01 PM

its the super duper limited edition super lime rock edition. that's why its $120k.

V8FunNaturally · 07-08-2013, 03:50 PM

How does the dinan stroker engine compare to the GTS 450hp engine ?

I always thought "Lime rock edition" was a poor naming choice for a fire orange car. Even though that is the name of the track. The paint would have to be lime color to make that right.
