Description:

Selling my 2013 Alpine white with black interior BMW M3, includes the desirable ZCP competition package and carbon fiber roof. This car previously had a Gintani Stage 2 supercharger kit on it. Long story short, I had the car sold back in May 2019 and a few days before the buyer came to pick it up, the engine blew due to rod bearing failure (a common problem on these cars that you probably know about already if you're looking at this ad). The car had its engine replaced at 24k miles under warranty by BMW for the same problem.

I purchased a donor engine which had 67k miles on it to replace it. When that engine was installed, it had some issues but fortunately had a warranty. The shop estimated $6k to fix and couldn't guarantee it would fix the problem, so the other option was a full teardown and rebuild for $10k (normally $12.5k but they cut me a break). I was able to get the seller to agree to pay me $6k and I'd cover the cost of the rebuild just so I could get everything done instead of finding more problems later. The engine was rebuilt by Devin at Southwest Bimmers in Las Vegas and includes a 1-year warranty (10-11 months left, I'll have to look at the date). The warranty requires Blackstone oil analysis after a 1200 mile oil change, and each 5k miles thereafter. I have only driven it about 400 miles since the rebuild, but there have been zero issues and the engine runs perfectly.

I paid $600 extra to have the rod bearings upgraded with BE bearings since I knew a buyer would want that done. In short, this engine should last a very long time with a full rebuild and rod bearings completed. All said and done, the whole repair cost me almost $18k, about $12k net after getting the $6k back, so I'm still eating my shirt on the whole deal but it is what it is.

Current mileage: ~59,600, will go up slowly as I continue driving, but I have two other cars so I don't drive it much. Purchased at 56.5k miles in July 2018, so I barely drove it.

Two minor negatives:

1. The front lip broke and when the previous owner removed it, it took off some of the paint due to the 3M tape, I was going to have the front bumper repainted and reflectors shaved, but held off because I wasn't sure if I wanted to do a lip or the OEM performance splitters. There is paint peeling in one spot where the scoops are, wouldn't be seen if using the OEM splitters. That's one of the reasons I couldn't decide which direction to go with it. The paint taken off by the tape can only be seen if looking from the underneath angle.

2. I swapped my Vorsteiner hood for an OEM hood. I noticed the other day that it is slightly misaligned, going to take it to a body shop later this week to see if they can line it up perfectly. It's very minor but one of those things that you can't unsee once you see it. Should be an easy fix though.

Located in Las Vegas, PPI welcomed at buyer's expense

**NOTE** This car is registered to a Montana LLC that I own. Have all documentation in case you have any questions. I own the title outright through the LLC and have it in hand, there is no lien.

I was offered $28k by a wholesaler a few months ago, I haven't checked back to see what they'd pay now but I'd expect a similar number. Selling for $31k firm, which I think is a great value for a car with basically a brand new engine and RB done. if I can't get $31k, I'll just sell to the wholesaler as it's not worth the hassle to deal with a private buyer for less (no offense!).
