Thumbs up BMW M3 Evolution Saloon Manual (Genuine 1/400 ,amazing example!) Swap WRX/STi









Hello,
For sale is my Genuine limited edition BMW M3 Evolution Saloon.
It's a rare beast- as only 400 saloons where made for UK, and even less where Evo top spec model. Its a fully loaded soon to be classic sports car!
I've owned loads of top spec sports cars (rx8,s2k,type r,impreza, e46/e36, s14a etc) and this is a stunning machine with a silky smooth 3.2 straight 6 engine , 6 speed manual gear box and more than 326bhp (with print out) which blasts the car from 0-60 in the low 5sec!!!!! Having this power youdd think the car lives next to a gas station, but I average 28mpg (36mpg on the motorway and 17-24 in the city)!!
So about the car:
Year: 1996 June
Color:Techno Violet
Tax: 03.2014
MOT: 09.2013
HPi: Clean! (Never had accidents)
Mileage: 172k (Motorway mileage,still feels like a low mileage car!)
Owners:I'm the 6th owner (was nearly £50k when new!)

Engine:
The brilliant S50B32 pushing out 321bhp , 350n/m Torque. Tuned to perfection by M division , not to be mistaken with the older S50B30.
Has had a nice easy life with regular oil changes (Castrol 10w60 ,specially for M3 cars), only V power was used, and the car has been warmed up properly before using atleast half of the power.
The engine doesn't have any problems at all, no oil consumption , no smoke , no rough idle, and of course no VANOS problems.
It also benefits from-
Dave F K&N induction kit
Custom made Exhaust system (warranty for 10years present)
And a dyno print out before the exhaust for 326bhp!!!, so now it should run close to 330bhp!!!!
If the price is met will come with 10l of Castrol 10w60 for the future oil changes (80£ per 5l!!!!!)

Gearbox :
6 speed manual gear box delivering the power through LimitedSlipDiffirential.
All gears engage fine (stock short shift), clutch is in perfect condition , both gearbox and the diff had a very recent oil change.

Suspension:
Perfect condition with a recent rear sub-frame refurbish with new bolts and poly bushes. The ride is not to low, and not to hard, its just perfectly balanced by Bilstein shocks.
Eibach strut brace under the bonnet
X Brace under the engine (stiffens the body,used on m3 evo convertible)

Interior:
Luxury pack
Wood trim
Extended leather (even door cards)
Double climate control
Full on board computer (avg mpg,range etc etc etc)
Factory Upgraded sound system
Sony headunit with USB/AUX/CD/MP3
White sport leather seats (Saloon did not have Vader seats)
Privacy curtain on the rear windows (Factory option)

Brakes:
All upgraded
Vented brake discs
EBC Brake pads

Exterior:
Body work is in great condition, there are a few spots that started bubbling, but no dents, no big scratches, must be seen to appreciate!
Techno Violet color
Full M3 body (saloons didn't have the twist side skirts tho)
Upgraded Bosch headlights with CCFL Angel eyes
Black kidney grills
Just installed: New Evo lip, GT corner splitters
have the original chrome grills too

Wheels:
Genuine lightweight M3 Sunflower alloys
2 Brand new Hankook V12 245/40 tires on the back
2 Near new condition Maxxis 225/40 tires on the front

Security:
Aftermarket Alarm fitted (With ultrasonic sensors/full lock/ possible code security)
GPS Tracker fitted (Needs to be activated, keeps it safe+cheaper insurance)

Private plate- M3 TXO ( M3 techno , worth over 1000£, included in the sale!!)

Service History:
Most of the live the bmw spent under the genuine BMW WARRANTY (paper work for renewals still present!)
Full BMW Service
8946 02.97
15446 09.97
19570 04.98
29996 01.99
38877 07.99

MOT- NO advisories! until 5th september 2013. (last 5 years the car has done 5k miles a year only)(All MOT papers present!)

Dyno print out at 325BHP/253lbft torque

All 3 keys present, all paperwork from the tracker present , 2 alarm fobs , 2 huge folders of paperwork with original books etc etc



Might have forgot something, but will gladly answer any questions via text or pm!
Main reason for sale is that I enjoy it so much I decided to get a e46 M3 later this year, but plan to try out a few more cars on the list that I always wanted..So im open to a cash offer close to 4200£ or a swap/ part exchange deal with top of the range cars like: 350z, STI,EVO,Type R,DC5,S15 etc

Thanks for reading!

I am half tempted especially as I am near Portsmouth just down the road. But I sold my 320D at 140k as it was high miles, 172k would scare me for performance engine. Nice car good luck with sale mate

Hello mate,
As your so close, come over, ill take you out in it will be easier to make up your mind, dont forget its the legendary 6 cylinder BMW engine... my e46 was 130k (sold to a friend -year later engine had only oil changes), the I had 328 e36 with 225k!!! Sold it to a guy I added on facebook, he drove over 10k miles already, no problems too.
Just have a look how many bmw there are for sale with over 200k miles, youll see what I mean.there is only 1 more evo saloon for sale, and its 134k miles for 5300 £ , doesn't look as good as mine and its 1k more expensive

After the 320d, the 7.5k rpm in a 3.2 petrol M monster will be quite a experience!
Here are new pictures from yesterdays visit to Durdle Door

Going up- with last chance for this month, as if i dont sell it on the weekend im booking airport parking for my holiday, and the car wont be available until 7th of july

p.s had many questions regarding the mileage and the engine - Feel free to come over and see it for yourself, no strange noises , no rattles, smooth idle, and perfect working vanos with smooth transitions at 2.5k and 5.5k all the way up to 7.5.
Had been checking oil/antifreeze/caps on a weekly basis, no top ups needed as it doesn't consume/leak anything

So if you have any doubts, just come over, and see for yourself

If you want to offer something for swaps- dont be shy, drop me a text, a PM and I will get back to everyone!

Been to a massive meet in Portsmouth today, had many compliments, and not only it was the only M3 e36 there, it was a saloon aswell!

Thanks mate, was nice meeting you today!


Minor imperfections taken in consideration - so reducing the price to 3750 £ - so you could make it 100% mint
