Got the coils off the other car today.

Need to wait for the BBK adapter to show up before I try to install on the coupe, but already curious how I am going to get these dialed in between height and spring rate.

[KaiserRolls]

Put them on. Let car settle. Adjust. Repeat as necessary

[KaiserRolls]

Are you swapping stuff from the coupe back to the vert? (suspension wise)

[CMart]

Yeah. I had a nice koni/bilstein/H&R setup for the coupe so I sold that and the vert is getting the oem stuff.

turbo m60 is a tough gig, but has been done. the compression of the motors make it hard to run high boost, fyi. but the stock motor can handle the low boost no problems. forged crank!  don't think it is even possible to due twin turbo, though.

[CMart]

Twin and single are both doable.

Just took the car out for what will most likely be the last ride of the year before dismantling.

Were many burnouts had?

[CMart]

Still a little wet so many traction was nowhere to be found. May take it out in the morning with a buddy who is in town and get better pictures/videos.

I never thought I would say this... But this car is for sale. I plan on actually selling it in the spring after I rebuild it this winter so it is turn key for the next owner. Not sure on pricing yet as I need to do some research. There was an M60 car that was junk that sold for 10 will be asking North of that.

Why you may ask?

[m42b32]

You bought an M3???

[YoungCR]

Story time! Accident car? Just guessing cause of the fender but sweet!

[patsbimmer1]

Yea, this deserves some kind of explanation!

[CMart]

Yep, bought an 88 M3. Was in an accident in 05, but not totaled or anything and has been properly repaired. Fenders are white because they are evo3 fenders that haven't been painted yet.

Previous owner did a lot of work to this car to get it where it is. I'm excited to pick up where he left off and show this car some track days next year.

[Boris3]

Congrats! Just curious what the entry price was for yours given that e30 m3 in good shape are going for $25-35k

[CMart]

This car is a non-running project at this point. The work that has been done to it is top notch, but still needs some mechanical/wiring/paint. I think the seller and I both walked away happy.

[GunMetalGrey]

Woah... Congrats on the purchase! 
Does it have a motor in it?

[straight6pwr]

you must have big plans, or the m3 must already have a big motor.
