Understandable, but I am not asking for those part prices in return, I am taking my loss, you can't build the same thing for less than what I am asking with condition of body, rebuilt engine, turbo setup + tune, gauges, suspension+control arms, etc... do it yourself turbo kits are not as clean and stock looking most of the time and it while it may be possible under $7k (which is a stretch because you will have to do all of the things I've got done suspension/clutch/rtabs) for just the turbo and exhaust setup to get similar power, technique tuning or similar kits (about $7k+ for parts) don't put out the power numbers and use different manifolds and canned tunes, you add on a suspension and quite a bit more, plus less than 100k miles on body and only 7k on turbo/rebuilt engine rings/bearings.

The price is more than reasonable. Stock M3's go for 10k with twice the miles, stock 328s go for about 4-6k more miles, this is modified and has been taken care of, the only thing setting this apart from an M3 is the displacement.

Reasonable offers will be considered, trades are welcome and might be considered depending on what it is. Thanks!

There is one thing I disagree with, my buddys car made more than 450whp with a holset we did in his back yard. Spent maybe 3k on everything and it looks real nice. Like I said you got hustled. Good luck with your sale.

Wow, he must be on to something because he is doing it for way less than any BMW owner/tuner has, obviously his build is good quality and includes everything. If you want to bash the price and the build provide evidence of your buddy's "3k" build, that way we can actually compare apples to apples otherwise leave this thread. This is not a Honda Civic, this is exactly as the german's say "the ultimate driving machine" and capable of way more power as is.

If you are interested please contact!

Why so I can show you why your price isn't justified ? That's fine ill leave, you'll still have the car for a while so you'll have more time to enjoy it.

Exactly because you know you're lying about your buddy's car price and you don't know anything about BMW's!

I've had 3 of them, I don't pay people to work on my stuff I've done it myself. I have no reason to lie, I'm just not gonna continue this childish debate with you. You can say what you want but your prices all the way around are stupid and for that the car will stay in your possession for a while.

Price is reasonable. If you appreciate quality work, you will appreciate the price. Bashers are not welcome to this thread.

To end this price debate with these guys, here's a couple links to some of the parts so you can get an idea of the true value... this is not all inclusive, it is just a couple of the parts...
Head Gasket price Machining to ensure the head is ready to go is still not added on and I have .140"
GT3582r Tial Back does not include braid lines, fittings, etc.
M3 3.23 LSD does not include the AA bracket
KW V2 Suspension Does not include the alignment and corner balance
Front control arms&tie rods also replaced with suspension

That is almost $5000 in parts right there, and there is still a lot more to go. Car is blue booked at roughly $4-6k (based on mileage and condition as stock).
