The whole M3 is for sale, but I figure the most important aspect would be the engine and tranny, etc. I'm not entirely sure how to price it yet but I would love to entertain some offers and I want to sell it, and see what people want. the more of it you buy the better, I don't really want to part out each little nut and bolt because I can't have it all sitting around forever. and it takes work to get the stuff off the car too. E-mail me or PM me (pole695013@aol.com) if you have any questions or offers. | | | 03-06-2009, 06:18 AM | #2 | Junior Member Join Date: Mar 2009 Location: california Posts: 3 | whats the lowest you will sell the motor for? | | | 03-07-2009, 07:07 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: Ct Posts: 151 | Quote: Originally Posted by 95e36 whats the lowest you will sell the motor for? | Depends a bit on what all you want... define "engine" are you talking everything from harness to tranny, and ECU? or do you just mean the block and head... I'm willing to part with it all for a fair price, I'm not sure what that is yet, and I also need to know what all you would want because that is gonna determine a bit what I am asking for it. | | | 03-09-2009, 04:53 PM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: Ct Posts: 151 | I'm still accepting offers if anyone is interested. | | | 03-09-2009, 09:19 PM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: central ct Posts: 503 | how bad is the damage? i might be interested in the whole car depending on whats good on it and such. i'm local too __________________ 2010 Genesis Coupe 2.0t track | 2000 Dakota Former 1995 318ti owner | | | 03-09-2009, 09:44 PM | #6 | Member Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: PA Posts: 89 | would love the engine, but was also wondering if the wheels were damaged up real bad, you said body/suspension so i'm guessing they also got messed up? | | | 03-10-2009, 01:12 AM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: Ct Posts: 151 | Quote: Originally Posted by briansol how bad is the damage? i might be interested in the whole car depending on whats good on it and such. i'm local too | The damage isn't that bad upon first glance, but I think the accident torqued the frame, so there is buckling on some of the panels, which for each panel individually probably would be easy to fix if you took it off and were putting it on another car or something. The motor and interior are good, but it depends on what you are looking for on the car... all the glass is still good, the airbag didn't even deploy, so that's fine, do you have any specifics on what you are looking for so I could check it for you? that would definitely give us both a better idea and I could tell you in more detail and maybe get some pictures when I get back from vacation and I can find my camera hopefully.

However, the tires are all practically brand new, and they are all fine. | | | 03-10-2009, 02:59 AM | #8 | Member Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: PA Posts: 89 | OO i see i thought you might of still had the stock m3 wheels on. | | | 03-10-2009, 05:07 AM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: central ct Posts: 503 | what are you looking for (ballpark) for the whole car? as long as its rollable, i can get a trailer and have it out of there... but the thing needs to be able to roll __________________ 2010 Genesis Coupe 2.0t track | 2000 Dakota Former 1995 318ti owner | | | 03-11-2009, 04:09 PM | #10 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: Ct Posts: 151 | Quote: Originally Posted by briansol what are you looking for (ballpark) for the whole car? as long as its rollable, i can get a trailer and have it out of there... but the thing needs to be able to roll | It's rollable, I've had it towed on flatbeds twice now, no hiccups. Ideally I'd like somewhere between 3800-4800 all said and done... to make up for the money insurance wouldn't give me (Those B-tards) There is alot good with the car,I figure if I were to part it out all separately I would be getting about this or more depending on what I sold the main components for like the engine tranny, etc... plus the interior and tires and whatnot. | | | 03-11-2009, 04:34 PM | #11 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2008 Location: Rhode Island Posts: 144 | would you sell just the engine? no ECU, harness or transmission | | | 03-11-2009, 05:18 PM | #12 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: Ct Posts: 151 | Quote: Originally Posted by 1CivetDei2 would you sell just the engine? no ECU, harness or transmission | I would, but I really would prefer to sell as much as possible in one go... Its at my parents house and they don't want it sitting around like my truck did for 3 years, lol. if I can't get any good offers for the whole thing or I can get a good price for it then I will consider it, but its easier to sell if I do it chunks at a time, or the whole thing at once would be best. I've been receiving some offers that are tempting at this point. but I'll be more willing to sell it as a whole thing as is, and it would save me some work taking pieces off and dismantling the thing. | | | 03-11-2009, 05:37 PM | #13 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2008 Location: Rhode Island Posts: 144 | Quote: Originally Posted by ti3 I would, but I really would prefer to sell as much as possible in one go...
