Picked up a crazy Estoril E36
Just bought it as a weekend car.
I haven't been able to drive anything else since.



98 Estoril M3:

Engine Mods:
3.2L with Sunbelt Cams
custom AA tuning
M50 Intake Manifold
AA headers
AA trackpipe
Borla catback exhaust
ECIS CAI
Porsche 3.5” HFM
ASC throttle body removed
fan delete
Rogue Pulleys
BimmerWorld/Clutchmasters Stage 4 clutch/flywheel kit
Rogue Engineering shortshifter
Car dynoed 274rwhp at Active Autowerkes when the custom tuning was done.


Suspension
12mm front spacers
Ground Control/Eibach/Koni single adjustable coilovers


Interior/Exterior
Recaro SRD seats Gray Suede surrounds with black inserts
Momo Carbon Shiftknob
Painted moldings
The car is outrageously loud, with the stiffest suspension I've yet to experience.
My biggest worry is that I will have trouble moving onto any car that isn't this razor edge in the future.

Beautiful. It's actually really nice to see an original one sans clear corner mods and blingities (is that even a word?). Keep it that way - it's great!!
