BMW M3 E30 S50B30 Touring Racecar

Purebred race car for the individual youngtimer enthusiast!!! :)

An original 325i Touring in excellent condition (accident-free body) was completely rebuilt from the ground up in 2010/11 as a unique M3 (never produced by the factory; only a handful of ambitious custom builds exist worldwide), with no regard for time or cost, and repainted! The rear side panels are made of steel, while all other M3-specific add-on parts are made of fiberglass (GRP). Thanks to consistent lightweight construction, the vehicle weight with the current engine from a BMW M3 E36 is only 1,050 kg!

The S50B30 engine, tuned by engineer Gabat, has already won several Austrian Drift State Championship titles with driver Alois Pamper. After being overhauled, it was installed in the M3 E30 Touring offered here in 2014 (from 2011–2013, the original 325i engine was still installed).

The vehicle has been very successful, reliable, and extremely fast in Drift Challenge Austria and at various track days. Mileage since the rebuild is limited, and in 2016 the body and paint were once again restored to like-new condition… generally always maintained to the highest standard.

It has been sitting for a few years now, but with some servicing effort, the car would be immediately ready again for DRIFTING, CIRCUIT RACING, SLALOM, HILL CLIMB, etc.

-> The braking system and wheels are listed as optional extras because the car still uses a 4-lug setup, and alternative solutions may be preferable for a custom build. Therefore, they are not generally included in the sale.

-> The existing seats and harnesses are long expired and are therefore also not included in the sale.

-> Original registration papers (Typenschein) of the 325i Touring are available! However, in this configuration, the car has not been registered since 2010.

-> FIXED PRICE (without brake calipers and discs, wheels, seats, and harnesses as described above)!

-> Sale of individual component groups (such as engine/transmission/drivetrain) is also possible, or conversely, if someone already has suitable parts to install into this project. Everything is negotiable.
