I prefer a blower, but a stroker is nice also.

120k for a BMW? Thats laughable.

TimZ · 07-08-2013, 09:00 PM

Lol this thing has been sitting at prestige BMW for a while. When I was there looking at an m3, the sales rep told me it was the owners personal car? Now for sale? Idk...
Nice car, great mods

Endless619 · 07-08-2013, 09:12 PM

Unfortunately this is a $74,000 car.

A new car AND last generation already. You aren't going to get anywhere near $120k. He should be lucky to get back $74,000 regardless of mods.

This is known and I sold a car with $30k in parts/mods and got nothing for those when I sold the car 7 years ago. I could have parted out but didnt.

Car new: $36,000
Mods: $30,000

Sold the car for $29,000, 5 years later.

Same car today, value $8900. You do the math.

Aren't various S/c more taxing on the engine over time than a dinan crank/pulley/throttle body/software flash setup??

Not trying to be stupid, I just genuinely don't know the answer. Anyone?

Because N/A is better. I'd take a stroked S65 over any Supercharged one any day of the week. I don't care if the S/C produces double the HP.

Man, I seriously respect your opinion, but is the intercooled SC that bad? I know you've been advocating against it since it didnt seem to add much for you at the track. Is it the weight?

As for the car posted, I think it is a tastefully modded "edition". The price is fair. Athough if I had 120 Gs to drop on the new car, I'd pony up a few extra and got myself a new GT3. Just saying

This isn't the age when a blower is going to destroy an engine and require a rebuild at 100k. I'm all for N/A engines but I'd prefer a factory SC package over the NA package any day, since it will produce MORE hp and cost less.

I'd be embarrassed to tell anyone I spent $100k on an when a 1 year old model can be found for nearly 1/2 the price.

Vic311 · 07-09-2013, 01:44 AM

Clearly that's the "I am emotionally attached, really don't want to sell" price

SWOT1 · 07-09-2013, 02:34 AM

Insane engine cost vs. an ESS VT-1 550 for a 1/3 of the price!

N.S.A · 07-09-2013, 02:35 AM

If you add the price of the modifications with the based price, the car is $121,522. that's he is asking $120 plus. So the guy just wants to loose like 1 grand, the car devaluates he does not want to loose money... and 74k for a limerock m3? he had a cheap one. usually fully loaded the limerock is around $83 to $85k. the guy should be asking 105 to 110k.

I'm not saying it's bad. Just not my cup of tea. I think S/C's are way overhyped on these boards. Power isn't everything. I'm willing to be most of the owners of supercharged M3's on these boards aren't even very good drivers (and definitely not saying that I am). No one seems to care that you are adding weight and losing a bit of throttle/linear response in the process. But most owners don't track their car either so I guess those points are moot.

Jay-K · 07-09-2013, 11:59 AM

rare stuff.. remember guys M3's going to be sold out soon..

S65V8 · 07-10-2013, 05:37 AM

Nice set-up, and the price new adds up. But why spend 120k on a bimmer, when you can get a low miles GT3 RS for close that type of money - NO WAY .

FVM3 · 07-10-2013, 11:07 AM

a bit overpriced

ramuman · 07-10-2013, 11:35 AM

How much are used E92 GTSs going for in Europe if any are on the market? That was essentially the only rare version of the E9x M.

leemik · 07-10-2013, 11:59 AM

I dunno guys.. this sounds about right for an all Dinan'ed out M3 with the 4.6 stroker at MSRP

MSRP on a decently loaded limerock alone is around $80K+

The only thing that looks questionable on the price list are the black wheels which on some Limerocks was included in the package price..

You've be a fool to pay MSRP of course... but i'm sure they are trying to find that right sucker.

He never had an intercooled blower. He had a non-intercooler blower that would heat up on the track and pull so much timing it would be as slow as a stock M3.

An intercooler blown M3 running water/meth to keep IATs ambient is phenominal on the track. The throttle response is unchanged as is the linear powerband. If you want, you can also keep the revs down if you don't need all the power up top.

Now with this much power, things need to be upgraded to handle the additional power. Good news is that the M3 has the chassis to support this. And will provide you a track car that will be faster in the hands of the right driver.
