Jacko 2078 Report post Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) The vins listed with the NZTA for an auto 318is http://www.realoem.com/bmw/select.do?vin=EU20688 The vin in the tardme auction is obviously an M3 tag.... Edited October 19, 2011 by Jacko Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smac01 12 Report post Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) Pretty sure it's just an M3 in a 318is shell, as stated above... Except he has put the new VIN plate on it, which creates the perception he's trying to hide that fact. Edit: But for $12k, it could be good fun!

Palazzo 427 Report post Posted October 19, 2011 Repost. Been discussed to death.On TM yes. But not at Turners for an estimated $12k sale. That's almost tempting buying if it's all put together properly. And a lot better than $18.5k on TM. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ari Gold Report post Posted October 20, 2011 Not like E36 M3's were hand build, and it goes harder than almost every 3.2 I've seen. 12K is a deal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CamB 48 Report post Posted October 20, 2011 Would be a pretty good base for a race car then - lots of nice bits to sell... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greg111 13 Report post Posted October 20, 2011 What are the difference between the m3 an non m shells? All I can think of is the subframe reinforcement Reinforced Subframes front and rear, reinforced strut towers, don't know whether noticable or or not?Basically f**k all really, mine obvioulsy has reinforced strut towers but the 900 pound springs still broke them.

thorburn 120 Report post Posted October 20, 2011 Did yours bulge up at the top or split lower down the strut tower Have you done anything to further reinforce them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greg111 13 Report post Posted October 22, 2011 Just split across one of the stud holes, the strut brace was helping spread the load however. Just drilled and welded, both sides were the same. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
