When I saw replica and the price I thought no way, but its been built with all the proper bits, assuming the panels have been put together properly.

Genuine panels, genuine bumpers, proper m3 suspension and brakes.

Would be better with an s14, but the engine in there must be worth a few quid if it all checks out as genuine schnitzer too.

Tbh, I don't think the price is that far off.
cheers,

harry

I collected some parts from him a while back and saw this car in the flesh:(metal),it looked a good job and pretty convincing. Nothing wrong with an M20 but it wouldn't be my choice of lump for that motor!

I wouldn't debate that the build cost would most likely come in at over the 9k, however 9K is low mileage Motorsport money.

However well done it is, it's still a rep and has the wrong engine which means it will never be worth what's been spent to get it that way.

It does look finished well, but its a very narrow market at that kind of cash .

I bought some bbs off this guy last year and see it in primer ! , tryed passing it off as a real m3 ! Talking shit to me . Then i clocked it on fb and asked what its registered as , 318 !! Since then his stated rep .

My thoughts are although its had the work do e i dont beleive its worth the money when im seeing real m3s for 20k. Although body wise probably not as good .

Original AC Schnitzer Engine or just a rocker cover bought off ebay not so long ago??? 318, so where did he get the engine from??? I am sure some one from the zone would know if a AC Schnitzer engine was being sold as I am sure it would be a rare item.

Even after all the debatable questions, I have to say it does look the part.
