    For sale is my 1995 BMW M3.  Listed here are the highlights: - LS1 motor w/ T56 6spd transmission -Custom headers & exhaust -Custom fab radiator -Lightweight flywheel -H&R coilovers all around -H&R spacers -Kosei lightweight cast aluminum wheels 17" -Racing studs -StopTech performance drilled and slotted brakes with all steel brakelines -Hard bushings all around -Performance clutch and differential This is an extremely clean swap, and everything on the dashboard works (though the "Check engine" light stays on for obvious reasons). Tires have 75-80% tread. It"s been my daily driver and leaves a lot of expensive cars in an embarrassing amount of dust. The combination of BMW handling and American muscle can only be described as synergistic.

    The car got keyed a while ago on the passenger door and boot lid.  The weatherproofing shows its age and there"s a little paint fading on the roof.

    Very basic interior.  Cloth seats, electric windows, Alpine deck but no speakers, no cupholders, no A/C (because I haven"t worked out how to run this with the new engine setup, but the pump"s there and I presume functional!).  Sunroof works.

    H&R performance coilovers all around.  H&R spacers as well.  M3 differential is plenty strong to take the LS1"s power.  Lowered slightly, a fairly stiff setup.  Hard bushings.

    Cosmetically, this car is far from perfect.  That said, it"s still very pretty in purple.  It"s loud, shakes, vibrates, and rattles, and the power steering can occasionally groan, but that"s just the car saying hi, and is usually drowned out by the engine.
