I have owned this car since 2015 with 55k miles. Hopefully I can answer a few questions with this comment and in case you still have questions please feel free. It has been incredibly reliable throughout my ownership. I picked it up from a dealership in Jacksonville. I do not have any sort of history with the car prior to my ownership. I was told the car was owned by an elderly gentleman. Never really had any intention to sell this car and I know down the line I will regret this decision, but I do have a new business opportunity that I would like to pursue.\r\n\r\nTo start things off, I do not want to hide anything from anyone. I would like to be as transparent as possible to help avoid any issues in the future with the buyer. Below is just a list of known issues that I want everyone made aware of.\r\n\r\n\u2022 I own two sets of keys, including one valet key. The batteries in both keys are dead and will need to be\r\n\r\nreplaced if you would like to use the key button functions. You can still lock the doors by simply using the key.\r\n\r\n\u2022 The rear-view mirror has that yellowish liquid in it, has been like this since I purchased the car.\r\n\r\n\u2022 The headliner is starting to sag in the back, along with some of the pillars. (Good excuse to do a carbon fiber roof)\r\n\r\n\u2022 On the dash you will see lights lit for the washer fluid, coolant level, air bags. The washer fluid system is no longer installed on the car. Reason for the coolant light being on is because the all aluminum moroso expansion tank is aftermarket and does not utilize the oem coolant level sensor anymore. Air bag lights are on because the seats are aftermarket and do not have air bags, the door panels have the air bags removed, and also the steering wheel air bag is unplugged inside. (The recall has not been done yet)\r\n\r\n\u2022 This car has the bimmerworld fuel starvation kit which essentially puts another pump in the driver side of the tank to move the fuel to the passenger side. Since doing this mod the fuel level has not always been 100% accurate. Once in awhile during start up it may completely not read correctly until you drive 10-30 minutes or restart car. At the track I still encourage keeping the car above 3 gallons to eliminate any starvation.\r\n\r\n\u2022 The chase bays power steering reservoir on really tight corners can sometimes cause the fluid to slightly spray out of the vent in the cap. The remedy is to install a small hose to the vent according to online forums but I never got into this. The spray of fluid is very light and not a concern, I just wipe it off. It will not do this on the street, only on tight fast corners at the track.\r\n\r\n\u2022 This car is 20 years old and has seen a few track days, therefore cosmetically its not perfect. There is no peeling or fading on the car but rock chips, minor dings, and scratches are present.\r\n\r\nWith all that being said, preventive maintenance has been key for me since I track the car, most things I have replaced before failure to reduce any issues at the track. Due to my work schedule the car has only seen 4 track days, sad! I would drive this car to the track, on track, and back home (no trailers). Between the preventive maintenance, labor, and modifications done the car has over $100,000 invested and that\u2019s not considering the cost of what I paid for the car. Oil changes done every 4-5k miles with Liqui Moly 10w-60. I would also change the engine oil before every track day. All fluids have been replaced on a regular basis. I am trying to be as transparent as possible to make the new owner happy with their purchase. In the case you don\u2019t see something, please let me know and I will try to take any additional\r\npictures upon request.\r\n\r\nThe big 3 issues that plague the e46 m3 chassis have all been addressed within the last 5-12k miles (rod bearings, vanos, and subframe reinforcement) along with a laundry list of other maintenance items. The car was mostly daily driven up until 124-126k miles. Due to the car seeing track time I went with the VAC motorsport coated bearings and ARP bolts over the OEM bearings. This coating is supposed to greatly improve bearing life/performance in high performance applications. The front and rear subframe has been reinforced with Turner motorsport plates. The entire vanos system was refreshed using Beisen hardware, along with updated cam sprocket bolts, exhaust disk, and new upper chain guide. I highly encourage everyone to please take a look in the photo section and find the maintenance and\r\nmodification list.\r\n\r\nBoth the front and rear diffusers are chassis mounted. The only thing missing is a flat floor, this was on the list but never got around to it. The front fenders and rear bumper are all vented to help get rid of unnecessary drag/pressure build up. The rake of the car and diffuser angles have been set up for more handling over top speed so this may require angle adjustments for your home tracks. This car saw Sebring, homestead-Miami, and the Firm. The front brake system has its own dedicated cooling system. Also, the front bumper and splitter are quick disconnect so they can literally be removed and installed back within 5 minutes, please see my video.\r\n\r\nThe tires still have a good amount of tread left. The rears should have another 2-3 track days left, the fronts at least double the rears at about 4-6 track days. Of course, this solely depends on the type of driver you are. Depending on driving style and amount of track time you can get more or less than my predictions. As seen on the images the passenger side tires have slight rubbing marks. These are old marks and happened at the track when I blew a shock at Sebring raceway. These marks do not hinder any performance whatsoever and I was told by a track rep that the tires are totally fine and don\u2019t need to be replaced, the rest of the tread should catch up after a track day.\r\n\r\nThe AIM display is awesome! Aim eco system is vast, used by many professional race teams. The possibilities are just about endless with this system. Aim has almost any sensor available from AFR to reading out the temp of your tires. Currently the boost for the supercharger is read through the display, an aim boost pressure sensor has been installed. Also the latest GPS09 unit is installed which means you can get real live lapping at just about any major race track at your finger tips. Besides all that the display is also highly customizable and you can choose what readouts you want. You can also switch between a lot of different designs to help suit your preference. The 6 light functions have also been programmed to read out multiple different issues. Which I will show you after the sale and you can program them any\r\nway you would like. The top of the display will also feature shift led lights, also can be setup to come on during your own desired RPM.", "likes": 9, "timestamp": 1682428648, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 11302079, "authorName": "Tonyvinn (The Seller)", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/tonyvinn/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Part 2 of 2\r\n\r\nI am almost certain that I will have comments saying why SMG? I may not have been sold on this system when I bought the car but I can say with confidence that I would never change it now. It\u2019s an amazing system especially on track. I also wanted to mention that the thing that plagues the smg pump is the heat because in the oem location it sits right next to the engine block. I completely relocated the pump which prevents any heat issues whatsoever and prolongs the life.\r\n\r\nThis car is very tastefully modded and features a lot of custom goodies that no other e46 M3 has installed. Beginning of 2022 I installed the brand new ESS G540 supercharger system, 6 in 1 headers, and the AST/Moton 5200 2 way coilover system. Since installing these things, the car only saw one track day. Driven about 500-600 miles since the beginning of 2022. Its been a garage queen for most of the last 5 years. Please take a look at the modifications list for details on when everything was installed.\r\n\r\n\r\nAll in all, the car has been very well taken care of, maintenance has been beyond the norm and mechanically the car is just about perfect! I attempted to show everything in the walkthrough video since things are bit harder to notice in pictures. In case I missed something you would like to see please let me know, thank you.\r\n\r\n\r\nThe buyer is also welcome to take all the extra parts I have left for the car.

Basically cold air from outside goes through the headlight and anything extra makes its way out of the hood vent from the driver side. \r\n\r\nCSF radiator and oil coolers have been fitted. The AC is out which means there is no Condenser coil restricting air flow to the radiator. \r\n\r\nAlso a bimmerworld diverter valve and some custom side ducting has been done to make sure air does not go around the radiator and oil cooler. When BMW designed the car/oil system it made it so even when the car was fully warm, not all of the oil would travel through the oil cooler. When a diverter valve is installed inside the oil filter housing it allows for 100% of the engine oil to go through the oil cooler.

AST/Moton performs a dyno graph of each shock before it leaves the factory in The Netherlands. \r\n\r\nThe graphs are extremely technical and I can spend hours trying to explain in detail but the best thing you can do to understand is to research understanding damper dyno graphs. \r\n\r\nWhen you hit a bump in the road the spring obviously compresses. When the spring compresses it will want to expand and compress until it settles. The job of the damper is to resist the expansion and contraction of the spring so that the car can have optimal balance and in turn provide more confidence to the drive. That's the simple definition of what a damper does but they do so much more, they affect body roll, understeer, oversteer, etc. \r\n\r\nThe most important thing in a coilover I would say is the dampening curve. The shock dyno shows every detail about how that coilover will perform. There is a huge difference in dampening between a 1k set of BC racing coilovers compared to an AST/Moton or MCS set for 5-8k.\r\n\r\nA shock dyno will display how much force vs the speed. The center of the graph is 0 force(neutral) above the center demonstrates compression, below the center demonstrates rebound. Compression reads the force it requires for compression of the damper while the rebound is the resistance to expand. \r\n\r\nThe graph goes to about 250 velocity which for sports cars/track cars is the most important part of the a dyno graph, considered the low shock speed part of the graph. This low speed movements is what shows us the roll, pitch, dive. Basically demonstrates everything for a high performance vehicle.\r\n\r\nNot to make this a two hour demonstration. The graph shows for the front damper that at about a velocity of 150 the rebound is approximately 250kg. (It reads -250 because this is the rebound section)", "likes": 1, "timestamp": 1682532214, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 11317370, "authorName": "Itsgrich", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/itsgrich/", "bidAmount": 2500, "content": "$2,500 bid placed by Itsgrich", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1682549705, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 11319474, "authorName": "nimo", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/nimo/", "bidAmount": 3000, "content": "$3,000 bid placed by nimo", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1682600286, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 11319499, "authorName": "nimo", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/nimo/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "The missing link here is a manual Tranny.

The plan was once I was used to it, to have a custom tune done to incorporate all other performance mods to gain another 40-60hp. At that point I would need a dyno. However even with the stock ess tune it puts you in your seat and wow what big smiles! Before supercharger I had regular bolt ons and a custom tune on the car and it was great, don't get me wrong, but the supercharger just adds a completely different level of enjoyment.
