Car was purchased outright from a dealer 6 months ago with 155k miles. It now has 158,024mi. The blower was installed on the car ~800mi ago. A compression test ensured the engine was still strong. These S52 engines can easily last 250k+ plus no problem! The strong and simple design is what sets this M3 apart from the others years. A maintenance refresh was completed immediately which included replacing all wear and tear parts under the engine. All plastic parts were changed with their metal equivalents. This car has everything and needs nothing. I have all receipts and invoices for parts and work done as well as a clean Carfax from when the car was purchased (VIN# WBSCD9323VEE05083). Car has never been driven hard as it was a daily driver. Selling because I am moving into a condo in a couple weeks and no longer need two cars. This is a great car and I wouldn't sell it unless I had to!
This Cosmos Black M3 Sedan with Luxury package is the rarest combo an E36 BMW can be had in. Only a few hundred Sedans were produced in 1997 and 1998 and many of them were autos. The Dinan Supercharger by Vortech is currently running 6.5psi of boost and is on par in terms of speed to an E46 M3. It produces 340hp and 307 lb-ft torque at the crank. It can easily be upgraded for little money to make another 150hp with Stage III parts from KO Performance or one of the many other companies who develop parts for this car. I have all the original parts, manuals, badges, everything... that were replaced and will be including them to the new owner. When priced out to other Force Induction options I honestly must say that this is a great deal! This CARB exempt (meaning it can pass California smog laws) Supercharger kit cost $6500 minus the 8 hours of labor Dinan charges. I dare to say it's the fairest priced, and one of the highest quality, Forced Inducted BMW's currently for sale today!
The car was carefully modified to replace and enhance the aging parts with less restrictive and more free flowing variants. This includes:
Dinan purchased and installed Vortech V2 Supercharger
H&R Springs on Bilstein/Koni Dampeners
Viper 2-Button Remote Alarm System
Sparco harness bar
Sparco 4-point camlock harness
Isotta steering wheel with hub adapter (including oem luxury steering wheel with airbag)
ZKW Euro headlights with DDE's and E46 eyebrows (including oem headlights with bulbs)
Apexcone 5000k HIDS
Optima Red Top Battery
M50 intake manifold (including oem S52 manifold)
Supersprint tubular exhaust headers (including oem cast iron manifolds)
Mashaw front bumper with Carbon Fiber Lip and 4in 55w Xenon Fog Lights
Rieger Type II rear bumper with Carbon Fiber Lip

I just noticed this, but some pictures above might appear as if the car has a leak. The spots
were there when we moved into the current rental property a year ago and I assure you this car is not leaking. This M3 has no leaks, oil, coolant or otherwise!
Just to show how mileage friendly this car is with a supercharger, I checked my combined mileage for my drive to and back from work today. 12 miles each way with half street and freeway driving. I received 29.8mpg on the way there and a whopping 31mpg on the way back! EPA rates this car at 16/24 stock.
The reason it is higher with forced induction is that it raises the sustained pressure inside the engine which naturally wants to escape through the exhaust where it provides thrust. At constant throttle, this means increased mileage!
Asking $13k.
I'm locking this for two reasons:
One, the thread is OLD and it's already sliding off topic
Two, this is not the FS section
