Thanks. Yip I did have a few troubles in the early stages. But I'm pretty happy in the end I got it back on the road and don't regret anything. I did manage to get the original ECU after a bit of a man hunt, which I couldn't had done without some good helpful people. It is a really nice car, goes f**ken well too. Its just a shame that some people thought it was a piece of s**t and didn't deserve to be on the road. Sold it yesterday. New owner knows the full history so no nasty surprises like i got I know I'm gonna miss it haha. Anyway onto the next one.

Thanks, that worked. Pictures up. How much for the shell?

I cant put photos on because I'm too new I guess? Need to talk to the administrator. Yes the car is dakar yellow. It's pretty tidy inside and out, really needs to be seen. Thanks for the feedback so far, like I said all I'm after is offers / opinions on what its worth. There's no point me doing it all up to sell if Its not worth it. The original VIN has been riveted on the inner guard for reference, but it needs to be looked at to get an idea on what's "real" and what's not. I cant fault it visually, all the right trims inside and out have m3 stamped on it. The only difference I can see are 17 digits on the firewall. Yes racecar is a possibility

Hi Guys, anyone interested in this vehicle? Still unsure of my plans. For sale 1996 BMW M3 Evo AC Schnitzer upgrades 80,000mls (130,000km) 3.2l straight 6 (321bhp) 6 speed manual 18†mags (AC schnitzer) Good tyres, 6-7mm tread left Lowered sport suspension (AC Schnitzer) AC schnitzer muffler (very nice sound) Great to drive, handles well. Had a full service in September 2012. Oil and filter, brake fluid, trans fluid, diff fluid, clutch fluid replaced. Brake discs just been skimmed all round, new pads fitted. Wof and reg till June 2013 Owners hand book and 1st aid kit still in it Good on gas, getting between 650-700km on 60l tank of gas History of the car: I bought the car damaged from turners (impact right front) last year. I have repaired the vehicle back to how it was, and it got through compliance and a repair certification in December 2012. (including a wheel alignment and on the chassi machine). There were plenty of rumors around saying the car had been run dry etc. However this is not the case. After repairing the damage and a frustrating hunt to find the ecu that had been taken. I have driven the car about 2000 kms without any issues. And it goes very well!! Bloody quick Previous to me buying the car it was re-shelled. 318is body with m3 running gear all round. Whats the difference between a 318is body and a m3 body you ask? Nothing! Same part number. Only difference is the chassi number stamped on it. *Pictures to come* I believe this car is worth 15k. And that's what I'm wanting. But open to offers/interested in opinions on what its worth. Cheers

Sorry, removed my previous post. Had a closer look and found out the truth. The shell is a 318i, and someone has done a bloody good job to paint it from blue to yellow. This sucks! I was planning to turn this thing into a racecar anyway, so shouldn't have any legal dramas. Just hoping there's no serious engine damage. The previous owner has removed the DEM so it couldn't be started. If anyone knows the whereabouts of this DEM please help me out.

Hi guys, I bought this car from turners. Before reading this thread that is. Any idea who the previous owner is? Thanks

sh*t! So now I've been ripped off. Perfect. Yea that certainly sounds like the car. Any idea who he is?

Hi guys, I have recently bought a crashed and de-registered 1996 BMW M3 evo from turners. I am trying to get hold of the previous owner of the vehicle to ask them a few questions about it. Its 2 door in dakar yellow, with AC Schnitzer equipment. Was crashed in the right front corner. Previous rego was GLL801. Whoever owned it seemed a bit of an enthusiast, so I thought trying on here would be a good start. Have also rung turners to help me out. Any info please help me out, text or reply to this post.
