S50B32-Powered 1997 BMW M3 Sedan 5-Speed Race Car

This 1997 BMW M3 Sedan is a race-prepared vehicle hailing from the United States, specifically Romeoville, Illinois. Originally a passenger car with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of up to 6,000 lb (2,722 kg), this M3 is a unique specimen powered by a European-specification 3.2-liter S50B32 inline six engine, producing 178 horsepower. This high-performance sedan has been modified for track use under previous ownership in 2005, reportedly for use in the BMWCCA Club Racing C-Mod class, featuring upgrades such as a Jim Blanton-built 3.64 differential and a coilover suspension with remote-reservoir Motion Control shocks. Despite its racing pedigree, it retains its original four-door body style and manual seatbelts, alongside driver and passenger airbags for safety.
