bmw m3 track project

Post by Mr Fletcher »

Having decided the 325 will stay virtually as it is now i found this on ebay, M3 four door shell, this is in very good order .

This will enable me to prep a shell from the ground up . Stripped it out today just need to remove the fuel tank and it's bare.

This will be done as and when funds and time allow ( or i sell it with just a cage fitted ) as i have no rush to get it done .

cheers

Christ, you could have some fun with that :)

Will you be going down the same road with a Custom Cages version again or designing your own one?

If its to the standard of the 2,5 it will be spot on.
eBay has a lot to answer for.
Get those rear doors welded up while your at it.

Out of interest whats different in the shell of an M3 to say a 325 ?

Looks identical from the pics above. Or is there extra strengthening etc ?

there are some strenghtening plates around the rear subframe area and some under bonnet brackets are different , also on the later ones they had some turret strenghtening which this one just missed out on .
