1997 BMW M3 Description

I am selling my 1997 BMW E36 M3. It has been a great car for me and was a daily driver for almost a year. It has a 2002 LS6 swap with a Camaro T56. This car is just about perfect in every way. Everything works, interior is great, paint is quite good, and everything has been upgraded or replaced. Gets great gas mileage actually and is very easy to drive. Here is a mod list:
Subframe and headers are Samberg pieces
Swap is entirely OBD2 emissions compliant - this is the ONLY e36 I know of that is obd2 compliant - you'll be able to register this car in any non CARB state without issue.
Every part of the car works - from AC to all dash lights and other systems, the swap is 100% complete

243 cylinder heads mildly worked over
EPS 226/230 .598/.609 112lsa+2 cam

2.5 exhaust off headers through spun cats to center spintec muffler to 3" custom exhaust with Magnaflow in the back - it sounds great and is never raspy or loud in the cabin.

Rear subframe has been reinforced in the normal areas - including sway bar mounting points

This is an extremely fun car on the street or track. It is actually quite light and has so much feel when driving it, something missing from most modern cars, even BMW's. It will run 12.4@116 all day long on street tires, just to give you an idea of how quick it is. Drag radials would be even quicker as evident by the mph.
I am sure there is even more than this I am forgetting. Lots of brand new maintenance parts recently done as well; alternator, water pump, battery, etc.
Feel free to contact me with any questions or to set up a time to come see it.
