This car features a 3.4L S54 stroker motor and Vortech V2 supercharger kit. Mechanically, nothing has been overlooked. The motor + drivetrain have been fully built from the bottom up and the car reliably makes 500hp+. Full modification list available. The suspension features adjustable coilovers on all four corners and brand new 19” BBS CH-R wheels with brand new Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2 tires, they fit the car perfectly.

• Rear subframe reinforced in April 2020 at a cost of $3k+

• VANOS and SMG Pump addressed when the car was built, 15-20k miles ago.

• The car just went through both a body shop to remove any/all dents/imperfections AND a professional detailer who did a full interior and exterior detail including claybar, polishing, and wax.

Both the exterior and interior are in excellent shape and feature various carbon bits (rear diffuser, CSL splitters, steering trim etc). The car turns heads everywhere it goes and is an easy around-town daily driver but, when the pedal hits the floor, you’re truly thrown back in your seat. The car has $40k+ in modifications and is priced to sell.

The ONLY imperfections are some standard rock chipping on the front bumper which is to be expected for a car of this vintage with original paint. The front bumper is also very tightly fit to the bumper support because of the large heat exchanger that sits behind it, which creates a very small gap between the headlight trim and the fender (see photos). Finally, the seals/headliner along the A-pillar are peeling a bit which is a common problem with these cars but an easy fix.

With or without sunroof? I had a ‘03 IR/IR M3 without sunroof and I really regret selling it. I’m only interested in non-sunroof cars.

Who built the stroker motor? Mileage on built motor - < 15k miles?

Sorry for the delayed reply, checking texts much more often than the forum.

It has a sunroof. I recognize there's a weight difference with the added mechanism but seems silly not to consider a car because it has a sunroof? To each their own perhaps but this is a pretty unique car.

The car was originally owned/built by Eurobahn Performance with the engine work being done by Axiom Race Engineering in CA. I think the shop is now defunct/out of biz, but here is a writeup on the build: http://www.superstreetonline.com/fea...-supercharged/. The engine/build has between 15-20k on it.

Some things, mostly aesthetic, have been changed since the car was built.

I can be reached most easily at 973-919-0006.

I don’t think so and it’s not a weight thing for a street car. When I originally built my e46 M3 it had no sunroof and manually adjustable seats - best combo for the greatest head clearance. I personally prefer the look of a car without a sunroof and a single solid colored roof. Every BMW I’ve ordered has been without a sunroof (painted or CF).

Is this the same car from that article? It appears the hood and wheels have changed. Any additional changes? Just to ve clear engine has 15k miles since rebuild but car has 64k miles. Any interior pics or driving vids of the car? VIN# and carfax?

Yes, a few things have been changed, nearly all aesthetic (or mechanical improvements, such as the subframe reinforcement). I still have the wheels but swapped them out for brand new BBSs.

The engine was built 15-20k miles ago. Car itself has 62k miles. I don't have driving vids but do have plenty of interior shots. Best way to reach me is TEXT. 973-919-0006, happy to send you the VIN and carfax if you're interested.

Nope. Stock brakes are included, don't have a BBK for the car.

Bump. Still for sale and willing to consider all reasonable offers.

A few former m3forum members started nam3forum.com. There is also mforum.com. Lastly, BringaTrailer might be an option if all else fails

When did this happen? I was just on there within the last two weeks and saw no sign it was going down.

Your car looks so familiar. Did you cross-post it at M3F or anywhere else? I remember the Eurobahn Perf story too, I just can't place where I saw it.

BringATrailer actually accepted my reserve price and I may go that route. Was just hoping I could sell it to an enthusiast on the forums or Craigslist without having to go the auction route.

Don't think so! It's been posted once or twice in the past as a feeler on M3Forum.net but I just had a bunch of work done to the car to make it sale-ready and had photos taken.
