2001 BMW M3 Track Car

Description

Your first impression of this 2001 BMW M3 may just be that it's a powerful-looking premium coupe. But beneath this sleek veneer is a big investment in a fully-built track-ready screamer. So unless your driveway happens to be Road Atlanta, this specialty machine has left the commuter Bimmer lifestyle far behind.

We really love the incognito exterior of this M3. After all, the E46 generation of the car is an especially desirable style that seems to deliver the right look for a premium, sporty, and dignified European coupe. Even the silver paint has the look of a well-respected luxury car (and clear wraps in key areas to keep it looking great.) So it would elevate your status in your neighborhood just by parking it in your driveway. But even if you didn't hear the impressive exhaust growl, this one can't help but showcase its true nature. Lexan windows, real tow straps, yellow headlight covers, and a carbon fiber panel in place of the sunroof have a race-ready style. And while this one is still wearing the cool-looking M3 alloy wheels, the way they are free from weight-adding garnish and how low the suspension sits signal a very serious BMW.

The interior is pure competition-grade components. It's stripped of nearly all its excess weight and replaced with clean metal/alloy bareness. The upgrades are track-worthy with a four-point roll bar, Momo SprintCup racing seats, G Force six-point harnesses, a Bimmerworld race shifter, and professional delete panels for excess weight like seat and door panels. We also like that some pieces didn't need replacing. After all, BMW gives you an awesome sports steering wheel and a terrific gauge package because they understand what drivers need and have already put it in every car.

The only way to make BMW's S54 3.2-liter inline-six even more awesome is if you have it built by the masters at Bimmerworld. It's even claimed to produce 330 horsepower at the rear wheels. It's built with terrific supporting components, like an Ingen cold air intake, a CSF aluminum radiator with Spal fan, a CSF oil cooler, an upgraded water pump, a Supersprint exhaust header, and a Bimmerworld 3.5-inch race exhaust. The six-speed manual transmission has been beefed up with a ClutchMasters clutch and a ClutchMasters aluminum flywheel. This feeds a Diffsonline Quaife differential with 3.83 gears for quick acceleration. Add in subframe reinforcements, competition-worthy bushings, adjustable sway bars, and a full Ground Control suspension kit, and this is a serious driver.

This is a full package that has over $48k in build receipts, and you can feel the investment in how solid this is on your favorite course. This is the awesome M3 racer that really lets you make the most of a track day. Call today!!!
