1998 BMW M3

I picked up a 1988 e28 535is in March of 2020. It was a one owner, hellrot, Steve Dinan built turbo car that carried carb legal designation. Unfortunately, on the test drive upon delivery, the blower motor failed, sparking under the dash and causing the entire car to catch fire. I really lost a good one.

The timing was right and this 1998 Boston Green over dove grey E36 M345 with 182k miles came up for sale. It was completely stock outside of the headlights, seats, and shifter, and adult owned in Texas and Colorado it's entire life (no rust!). The car was repainted by the previous owner in the original color and the headliner was also replaced with alcantara. I drove the car for a few months to feel what it was like in stock form and get a feel for the chassis and then the turbo build began.
