that thing looks like its been flogged since new. plus the ad lists it as having an s50 which was a 3.0L. The s52 was the 3.2L but did not make anywhere near 300hp (unless it has FI). The desired power plant for this vehicle is the s54 = 333hp. either way I love these cars but would I spend money on this one? prob not. ---

i thought you mentioned these were $20k+ in the US right? this converts down near $16k… still not worth it for a US buyer? would this be something you could easily import into the US since it was sold there? ---

20+k for an s54 version (e46 m3 drivetrain) im sure sub 20k for an s52 version (e36 m3 drivetrain) there is no way they would sign off on it as a road worthy car without the airbag and all US spec exterior lighting. ---

Might be worth it for a US buyer who wants to get into some fun racing, but it is my understanding that @XwalkerX doesn’t want anything to do with race cars. ---

The s52 was the 3.2L but did not make anywhere near 300hp (unless it has FI). The desired power plant for this vehicle is the s54 = 333hp. > . you’re forgetting that in Europe / Asia they got the S50B32 and not the US version which was basically a bigger M52 so unless the ad is wrong, this would be an S50 with 316hp. It’s a lot closer to the S54 and not worth swapping. considering the miles and mods etc the price is right, but I’m not sure this will import easily since is a different variant to what we got in the US ---

it compares to a 2001 US with 50k miles, has AP racing big brakes, high end suspension, probably other nice mods… you couldn’t build this car yourself in the US for under like $40-50k ---

yeah you couldn’t build it for less than that I agree, especially when the motor alone is $7500 but the real question is would you pay $40-50k? ---

never… but this kind of a pointless since I don’t think you could register this in the US just as with any other car that’s euro spec. If it was a proper welded 6 point cage it might make a good racecar at 15k ---
