1998 bmw m3 with salvage title

[mikay1814]

I was browsing craigslist and I found a 1998 Bmw m3 with a salvage title for only $4500. I figure it would be perfect for someone wanting to do an engine swap. Aside from the rear quarter panel and the trunk, the rest of it looks great. I'm not affiliated with the seller in any way, I'm just trying to be helpful.

Pauly, it is possible. Have you ever experience a battery blowing up? I have and I do not wish that happening to anyone, it will tear sh*t up!

Here is a youtube video, the explosion happens at about 32 seconds:

With a buildup of hydrogen gas it's amazing it didn't do more.
