The Build

1998 BMW M3

This Estoril Blue E36 M3 is wearing a long list of worthy upgrades for better times at the track. The engine has seen some work to get it to 245hp at the wheels including a M50 intake manifold, race headers, and an aftermarket exhaust, and the limited-slip differential has been rebuilt with an extra clutch disc to put the power down properly. It is riding on Ground Control coilovers with camber plates and Swift springs to improve handling, and a custom one-piece Chromoly roll bar has been fitted along with carbon fiber seats for safety.
