If u know who I am, you know the car. It was my old ///M318 car that I put every part off of my '95 M3 onto the 318is chassis. I completely took off every part (again) and now am using the M susp. engine, trans, rear drivetrain, and interior in my 4 door. This car, gutted, did 0-60 in under 5 sec. Nothing is wrong with the chassis, all it will need is paint since it sits on jackstands painted in black primer. **The only difference between the actual unibody chassis’ w/ an M3 and any other 3-series is the Rear Subframe Reinforcement plates, which can be bought as a set from [bimmerworld.com](http://bimmerworld.com) and put on while the rear subframe is disattached** I recommend doing this if this is going to be a racecar/high HP car, but that is the only difference between 3-series and M chassis’. If interested come take a look. $500 Call (207) 449-6481 -Konstantin I’m located in Schenectady. ---

Doors and possibly the windows and regulators inside them are included and that’s it. It’s a perfect start to a race car (even though it does come with a Title to be street registered), if someone does not want to buy a second car, go through the hassle of stripping it and storing all the extra parts somewhere, while they put their new/better parts on, this will save somebody a lot of time and money since a decent chassis e36 coupe will at least go for $1,000, but then, like I said, you will have to strip it and then have room somewhere to put the parts. ---

Just saying… I saw a rolled e46 '01 M3 FS on bimmerforums for $2900 (engine, trans, and all in good shape) if u wanted the new style motor in this body or you can just through an LS1 in there and call it a day, thats the new thing lol. Realistically speaking, just find a rolled/totaled e36 M3 for real cheap and bolt on the parts to this. You can have a very fast car and cheaper insurance, for not much money. …That’s what I did and that’s what Benny is doing right now. ---
