This 2002 BMW E46 M3 Coupe has been converted into a race car with upgrades and modifications totaling nearly $40k. The car is powered by a freshly rebuilt 3.2-liter S54 inline-six engine with Shrick cams and rocker arms, a carbon fiber airbox, Fabspeed cat-less headers, a Bimmerworld 3" race exhaust kit, and AKG solid engine mounts. Power is sent through a 6-speed manual transmission with a Tilton Cerametallic twin clutch disc set, an ultra-lite twin disc flywheel, and a rear differential with a BMW Motorsports 4.10 gear and pinion. It wears a custom vinyl wrap over the exterior and features a carbon fiber hood, roof, and rear wing, polycarbonate rear side windows, 18” Apex Arc 8 wheels, an 8-point chromoly roll cage, a fire suppression system, OMP racing seats, an OMP steering wheel, a Cool Suit system, a VAC Motorsports short shifter, and an Auto-Blip module. The chassis includes AKG reinforced subframe plates, Bilstein PSS9 coilovers, Eibach front springs, a Whiteline front sway bar, Ground Control camber plates, and StopTech front brakes. Accompanied by a spare transmission and an extra set of wheels with rain tires, this race-ready M3 is now being offered for auction out of Canada.
The exterior is decorated with a custom blue and green vinyl wrap and features an exposed carbon fiber hood, roof, and rear wing. Other modifications include a polycarbonate rear side window kit, hood pins, a front splitter, an Aeroflow Dynamics V2 rear diffuser, and 18”x9.5” Apex Arc 8 wheels in satin black. The car rides on Maxxis RC-1 tires measuring 275-35-ZR18 and is accompanied by a spare wheel set with rain tires. Detailed images are provided in the gallery.
The cabin has been stripped out and fitted with an 8-point chromoly roll cage by Raven Performance. It features OMP racing seats, OMP 6-point harnesses, an OMP steering wheel, a Lifeline quick-release steering hub and MOMO adapter, OMP pedals, a VAC Motorsports short shifter, a fire suppression system, and a Cool Suit system. The rear bulkhead has been removed, and an Auto-Blip module is installed on a custom central switch panel.
This M3 is powered by a 3.2-liter S54 inline-six engine featuring a Shrick 288-280 cam set, Shrick hardened rocker arms, a carbon fiber airbox, an upgraded 4-core radiator, silicone coolant hoses, AKG solid engine mounts, an ECU tune, Fabspeed cat-less headers, and a Bimmerworld 3” race exhaust kit with a resonator. The engine was rebuilt in May 2024 with approximately 1 hour of runtime since. The rear wheels are driven through a 6-speed manual transmission with a Tilton Cerametallic twin clutch disc set, an ultra-lite twin disc flywheel, AKG solid transmission and differential mounts, and a BMW Motorsports 4.10 differential gear and pinion. A spare transmission and clutch set is included in the sale. The subframes have been fortified with AKG reinforcement plates and the suspension features Bilstein PSS9 coilovers, Eibach front springs, Ground Control camber plates, and a Whiteline front sway bar. The car’s stopping power has also been upgraded with StopTech ST-40 355x32 front brakes. The seller notes the VANOS system was overhauled in 2020, the driveshaft was balanced in 2023, and the car was corner-balanced in 2024.
This race car is offered with a bill of sale.
The seller would like you to know: “Thank you for visiting my auction. This is a well-built E-46 M3 track/race car that is easy to drive and fast on the track. Whether you’re a new driver looking to take in some lapping days or an experienced driver loving the race/chase...this is the car for you. I truly believe I will regret selling it but I'm now racing a late model stock car, and the wife said I can only own 1 race car so looking for a good home.”

@TPW I purchase the car September 20th 2020 from an individual who used it as a lap car. I then had quite a bit of work done to it during the winter of 2021 including the cage which was done by Raven Motorsports…John Dimoff. Look him up, despite no longer being in business, they have an exceptionally good reputation for building race, cars, and . I’ve raced it since up to Fall 2023 at which time the motor needed to be replaced, therefore was done. It’s a fresh motor, it’s run approximately four 20 minute sessions for shakedown.
Please inform... when it was turned into a racecar, or was it more of a trackday car?, the extent/ duration of competition, also cage builder.
