1996 Rare Hardtop 328iC - 5sp - ACS Type 1(10" Rears) - Stanced

[M3Alpine99]

Willing to work in the 8-9K range locally to get it to move! Make some offers and let's make a deal. Car comes with LOTS of extras to sell. Stock parts. M3 backseat and panels. Stock wheels and brand new tires and maintenance parts.


Something else is giving me an itch and I need to scratch it. Love the car but the stance game is just not for me. I will start out by saying that I want to move the thing pretty quickly to jump on something else so I am open to offers but not low balls. I can get what I want out of it by parting but just not interested in a 'return to stock' right now.

Wheels were recently straighted and trued by Wheel Wizard in Atlanta, GA to the tune of 475 dollars. The car rides GREAT up to highway speed(and beyond but I didn't test that... )

Front 17x9 et33 ACS Type 1 Rennsport
Rear 17x10 et33 ACS Type 1 Rennsport

Front 235.40.17 Fuzion ZRi - Less than 2000 miles
Rear 255.40.17 Fuzion ZRi - Less than 1000 miles

Wheel/tire clearance is via rolled and flared OEM fenders and it looks damn good.

Most recent maintenance/work includes fresh alignment. OEM Control Arms. OEM Control Arm Bushings. OEM Tie Rod Assemblies(complete inner/outer). Fresh rotors and Axxis Ultimate Pads + flush. There is more I am forgetting like air filter and spark plugs and coil boots were replaced as well. The car tracks straight. Rides great and is fun to just cruise around which is what it was made for.

Extras include OEM 15" wheels w/ brand new bridgestone all season tires. Extra oil filters, fuel filters and such. Also an extra set of tan E36 seats to steal gears from.

Asking 11,000 as is and you take everything. High? I don't think so for what it cost to get a car in equal condition to this point and the rare parts that are on the vehicle. I am open to offers so don't be afraid. Need to make a deal and willing to wheel and deal!

Pictures probably aren't needed as most know the vehicle but hey... can always whore out some photos!

I am old and blind but assuming there are 7 slats in between those round headlights the yes My first vehicle was a lifted Wrangler and I want another. I don't WANT to sell it. Wifey rules though... 2 toys MAX!

[polishracing95]

sounds like the wifey needs a talking too.....

[ponchiz318]

Good luck with sale man. 11k is a good price for the condition it's in along with the extras.

[Wisky]

Does it rub under load or when turning?

Ive always admired your car in your sig. Good luck with the sale! Your pics are proper.

[Morpheustj]

Great looking vert.. glws

[M3Alpine99]

Nah. She let's me toy with lots of things but I work from home so a rule to have 2 cars when I drive sometimes less than 10 miles a week it is a fair rule

Good luck with sale man. 11k is a good price for the condition it's in along with the extras.

Thanks!

Yes and no. If you are backing down an off camber at slow speeds like out of a sloped driveway it will slightly rub the rear tires. I wanted more beefy tires so even though 245 would never rub I went with 255s. If you hit a BIG dip on a highway and all the weight comes down at once there will be a quick rub in the back.

It also will slightly rub in the front, again if the road is not flat, if you go to full lock. Driving around town or when beating on it... no rubbing. I took it to the Dragon with 245s on the back and drove it all over and never rubbed once.

Thanks!

I can understand but I guess that since I don't have a wife anymore, I can get away with more than 2 toys... Sounds like we're on the same page though... (Hardtopped M3 vert, Lifted TJ built to high heaven, and I add a sportbike and a camping trailer that the TJ can tow to the mix.)

What's your 2nd toy that you'd be keeping?

[bmww]

I cant beleive that you are selling this car,its more than perfect
free bump for very clean car

88 325iS. Swapping an M52 and such into it.

Bump for the Man Halston

But it would be sooooooo much happier with an S50 or S52...

And it sounds like it still has a roof. :-(

M52 is a better motor. Nothing special about an S52.







Open to offers. I have plenty of wiggle room so let's make a deal

[FastrTHNu]

Come get it

It will easily make it home to Philly. I got it from Texas actually. 1,001 miles on the drive home with out even the smallest hitch!

[3two8eye]

Got a shot of the wheels not rolling?

[trayson]

Better motor how? Are you talking about what you get for your money, or overall? I've had both, and I don't hesitate to say that I appreciate the increased HP and TQ of my S52 over my M52. (excuse my ignorance on the subject as I'm sure that one vs. the other has been covered many times)

It is a stronger motor. 6mm cylinder wall thickness on the m52. 3mm on the S52. All an S52 in reality is a bored and stroked M52. Easily get to the same power and in a swapped car it is more than enough.

[BigBumperNick]

I went with Halston to pick the car up in Texas and watched it transform into what it is today. Hell, I even thought about buying it. It's a great car and I knw from first hand experience driving it.

[M3Alpine99]

Plenty of wiggle room on the price and taking offers!
