1997 BMW M3 Description

Selling my 97' M3. It has been swapped from the original S52 to an 02' ls1 from a Corvette with only 58k. The swap was done correctly and no corners were cut. If you have any questions, even if you are just doing your own swap feel free to ask.
The car is very fast, sounds amazing, and has four doors making it pretty practical as well. Zero driveability issues, it idles perfect and pulls hard, 100% daily driveable. All the gauges work, (Speedo, Tach, Temp, Fuel) I'll try to list the modifications here but I'm pretty sure I won't be able to remember them all. The car will also be getting a full detail before it goes off to it's new home.
I also wanted to leave the car aesthetically stock, it's just wheels and suspension away from any racing discipline you choose; drag, auto-x, drift, or even just leave it and have the perfect sleeper. This is pretty much a blank canvas in that regard. We are one of the few people to utilize both the Corvette oil pan and accessories, which let us put the engine as low and far back as possible while still having much better ground clearance. Chassis has higher miles but I have the Carfax that I can provide showing it was serviced at the BMW Dealership its whole life.
