1997 BMW M3 'Track Car'

Listed for $18,500Sold
1997 BMW M3 'Track Car'

Overview

Set up for track duty while still maintaining street legal status, this E36 M3 sports some worthy upgrades for the track and the canyons alike. Ground Control coilovers work with an adjustable caster/camber kit to keep it glued in the corners, and a bolt-in roll cage and racing seats have been fitted for safety. An aftermarket exhaust has been employed to give it a better voice to sing with, and recent work including a new clutch and flywheel help keep it running strong.
