BMW M3 e36 Track Day & Street Car - Mostly Stripped & Significantly Upgraded

1995 BMW M3 Description

This car has never been in an accident ... which can be seenin the AutoCheck Vehicle History Report tab.
It does however have a salvage title due to extensive interior vandalism damage. The car no longer has much of an interior anyway.
Street-Legal Track-Day BMW e36 M3Built to go fast on the track yet still be streetable.
A fantastic car for racing practice, lapping the track, or just driving around town.
I spent an absurd amount of money to buy the car, prep it to make it track-reliable, and add equipment to make it go faster around corners.Unfortunately I rarely use the car and spend all my time racing instead, so I'd rather sell it than see it sitting.
What has been done to make it reliable and go fast around corners:Even well maintained M3s probably shouldn't be taken to the track, assuming you want to spend the entire day lapping and not on the flatbed, something I learned the hard way.
So, after purchasing the car I took it to my local BMW M3 racing-prep experts to make it track-reliable and track-worthy.
This included about $10k worth of labor/parts to fix all the things that break under stress on old M3s (cooling system, bushing, bearings, etc.), as well as installing another $15k-$20k of performance parts and safety equipment.
In total I have $35k-$40k into the car.

• New clutch at 126,500 miles

• Roll bar (not a full cage - which would not be street-legal or insurable)

What it needs:I'm told it needs a new head-gasket, for which I've brought my price down by $3,000 to compensate.Despite this I've run 2 track-days and many street-miles, and lost coolant, but never overheated.
If I were keeping it this would be an opportunity to make sure the engine is reliable for future track use - head-gaskets are a very common problem with M3s, one we've experienced several times on our racecars.So fix it and know it's ready for many more years of fun.
Also throwing a code for a throttle position sensor, a cheap fix.
Otherwise a solid and reliable track car!
I still drive it once or twice a month just to exercise the systems.The car has never been crashed, hit a wall or another car, or had any damage at all.It has probably been to 6-8 track days.
Questions?
Please email questions and send your phone number if you'd like me to call.
However, please understand that I'm a driver, not a mechanic,and I don't know much about the parts or setup specifics. I rely on others with MANY years of first-hand BMW e36 M3 specific racing/build experience to tell me what makes sense within my budget. If there's something I don't know I'll try to find out and get back to you. Please don't contact me to discuss how to set up a car like this - I won't know.
