1997 BMW M3 Description

Arctic silver manual 97 BMW M3 sedan. Bought this car complete and running as my project and got halfway through when my landlord told me I could no longer keep it at my house so unfortunately I have to pass it on to a new home. A ton of potential in this build, very sad to let her go. This car is R titled but has had a well maintained '98 s52 motor with 120k swapped into it by Bimmer Buddies in Middleton, PA. Right now it is stripped down for paint but has every part needed to put back together. Motor has a fully rebuilt head and brand new head gasket kit. Body has 160k miles on it.

Rebuilt head
New Elring Head gasket kit
Just had head machined and all valves rebuilt at D&R Head and Casting in Denver and installed new Elring head gasket kit with all new gaskets and head bolts. Block was resurfaced before install. Also Vanos was just rebuilt. I have not even had the chance to start the motor since the rebuild because it had to be moved to a storage unit as soon as I got the motor back together. Motor turns over smoothly and is timed correctly, just needs new fluids and some small things before startup. Email or text with any questions you might have.***VIN listed in sale is not the actual VIN. car is at a buddies house when I posted this AD. Will send number at request.
