2010 E92 M3, DCT, Alpine White, 165k miles, rod bearings replaced (incl. warranty), track car (semi stripped)
Asking $15,900 obo
Located in Atlanta

This is a semi stripped track car that is still road legal, great candidate for turning into a full race car. Currently has OMP First-R driver and OMP TRS-E passenger seats with expiration dates of 2023/2024 (passenger seat is metal, so date can be extended), driver (Schroth) and passenger (G-Force) 6-point harnesses (expiration 2023), Brey Krause bolt in harness bar - all included. I purchased the car with 46k miles in 2015, daily driven ~33k miles/year until October 2018 (80 mile roundtrip commute - all rural highway) and tracked (HPDE) 22 events/33 days from August 2016 to March 2020. No track incidents, never been 4 off. Selling because I’m more interested in getting into NASA ST racing and am more interested in E36 and E46 series/groups and I’d rather use more funds towards that for now. Despite the high miles and heavy use, the car has been well maintained cosmetically and mechanically, and always allowed oil to reach 200F before pushing above 5k rpms.







Rod bearings were professionally replaced February 2020 by Harrison Motorsports in Atlanta at 163k miles. The repair includes a 2 year, 24k mile warranty. I drove the car 1,200 miles under 4k RPM as an extra cautious break in then changed the oil. Replacement bearings are latest revision of OEM improved aluminum bearings. Originally wanted to go with BE Bearings, but after consultation with Harrison Motorsports it seems most logical that since my engine lasted so long on original bearings that my crankshaft fell within the more favorable side of the tolerance spec and thus does not need to be “corrected” with BE Bearings which main purpose is to correct/account for the overly large crankshaft tolerance range (+/-) designated by BMW. We can argue the difference in material coatings and bi layer and tri layer bearings in another thread lol. My car has 09/2009 production date, so it had the lead bearings. Bearings were tracked via Blackstone, averaged 8 ppm for lead until my report in July 2019 showed 18 ppm so I parked it and replaced the bearings just recently.













Throttle actuators replaced at 133k (originals!) in February 2018. Replaced with OE actuators purchased from…a website…that offers a lifetime warranty. Willing to facilitate the warranty ONCE (potentially twice if there is a second freak failure within a short amount of mileage/time).

Only 1 incident of damage to this car. In July 2017 an 18 wheeler had a blowout in the lane next to me on the interstate and the tread shot out directly at the front bumper/hood and dented up the hood a bit, broke the passenger headlight assembly, cracked the front bumper cover, and put a little dent in the oil cooler. No serious damage to the car. Everything was replaced and I took the opportunity to switch to the ECS Euro front bumper replica. Fitment is almost perfect, but only trues up ~95% on the passenger side, driver side is 100%.

And what everyone is wondering about, the negatives! The roof is currently plasti-dipped matte black because the gel coating on the roof started to peel. Since this was mainly a track car, my main concern was just covering the roof before the coating peeled away too much and exposed the bare carbon fiber. The blower for the A/C is not working. I checked fuses and installed a new blower motor (with new control module), but it is still not working. I will continue to diagnose and potentially fix, but car is priced as is. I will include both the old and new blower motor units. About 2/3 of the infotainment screen (right side) is not working, but the scroll wheel is still functional so the menu can technically be accessed if important settings needs to be changed. The sound system/radio/Bluetooth module no longer works, but the speakers are still in the car. This car is equipped with the BMW Individual speaker system. The wheels/tires pictured are included, but they are effectively done. Wheels (Apex EC7 18x10 +25 square) are out of round due to track use (curbs) and tires have about 15% life remaining (Direzza ZIII). HOWEVER, I am also including a set of Forgestar Super Deep Concave F14 wheels (19x10 +19 front, 19x11 +27 rear). The Forgestar wheels have no issues with being out of round and have no major chips/dings, they are missing center caps (Forgestar uses a cheap rubber o-ring that deteriorates very quickly due to heat and the caps fall out easily). Tires are shot. OEM muffler is gone, but OEM xpipe (with cats) is included.

Sorry forgot to upload pics of F14 wheels. No major scratches or dings. Wheels are in round, no vibration. Center caps are missing because Forgestar uses very cheap o-rings to secure their center caps and they don't even hold up to the heat from daily driving for more than a few thousand miles. Tires are pretty much shot. Wheels were kept in climate controlled storage when not in use.
