$260,000 for a 1997 M3?

Recommended Posts

Yup. 2.6. And four zeroes.

Why?

Because:

5.6+V12+M3.jpg

It's a JM Lippert 356CS. 368kW of 5.6 V12 in a M3 body. More info here.

That was my thought too. Yep - lovely. $260k lovely? Don't think so... Not even with the low mileage.

ALso with this, whats the deal with "JM Lippert"? I cant find much info on what the deal with these cars was. Are they a tuning house like Alpina, or was this a one off?

JML Motorsport is (was?) a Swedish company run by Mikael Lund that did a number of conversions, all (reportedly) to a very high standard. They put the ex-850 V12 into a number of BMWs, including E34 saloons and wagons. (But we've seen that here, too. :-) ) They also did 5.6 and 6.0 conversions for the S70 in the 850i.

Not a huge company or huge production, but there are several 356CS conversions (the V12 M3) around, and I saw an E34 V12 wagon for sale in Germany, 2 or 3 years before we moved here - it was in the for sale 'yard' at the Techno Classica in Essen.

Your car doesn't have all the creature comforts of a road car tho Troy!

I have a spare V12 here, and a spare E36, who wants to come over this weekend for some experiments lol

No it doesn't, engine bay is still the same size as it was originally though. Guess the e28 engine bay is pretty minimalistic though..
