This ti has been modified by TC Kline at Tri-Point Engineering in 1999. It has passed inspection by CA State CARB referee & has been registered & insured in CA since. The modifications include: M52 2.8L aluminum block engine, trans & harness (under 1200 mi), LSD from 1999 M Coupe (under 30000 mi), European M3 brakes, Koni d/a coil-overs, H&R springs & sway bars, aligned & corner-weighted, AC Schnitzer shifter, battery moved to hatch, Super Sprint exhaust, Konig leather seats, BBS RK wheels & much more than I have room to list here! Car has been in storage since built & will need a complete going through to be made road worthy again. Many new old stock parts are included with sale. I have all receipts for parts & labor. $12,500 OBO |  |  | | 10-10-2022, 11:57 PM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: San Diego Posts: 179 |
Similar to mine (but nicer) I am still goofing with BAR certification.
Yours might be a good listing for Bring A Trailer.
Did you use a dual exhaust or a single like on a 323? __________________

Mine sold the first day listed on BWW CCA. Eric, a great guy & a total E36 enthusiast couldn't believe the mileage & condition. I'm so happy it went to a real car guy. The referee at BAR gave me a real hard tine about the exhaust being wrong until he looked at the exploded view of the Z3 2.8 system. In '97 it was a 2-tube down pipe (2 cats) into a single pipe to a rear mounted muffler with twin outlets. The best thing about using the aluminum 6 is that it weighed just 40 lbs. more than the 4 cyl. & the car didn't plow at all. | | | | | 10-13-2022, 04:48 PM | #4 | | Junior Member Join Date: Oct 2022 Location: Raleigh Posts: 2 |

Should do well. Super clean. Almost too clean to drive!
Even though mine is the iron block M52, the one plus is it is a great driver.
Either way it is good motivation to get mine through BAR and list it for sale! __________________
