1998 BMW M3 Sedan 3.6 Widebody 6-speed

Here’s an interesting one that has had me scratching my head quite a bit. What originally caught my eye was the bright Estoril Blue Metallic sitting on some refinished E46 Style 67 wheels. It was worth a second eyeball, which resulted in me noticing it was a 4-door. CLICK – I’m interested in seeing more. Once in the posting, the title became even more interesting – Racing Dynamics RD Sport? Lesser known than Alpina or Hartge, but still producers of some pretty trick products. 3.6 liter motor? 6-speed? TELL ME MORE!!!

I went on a bit of a hunt to find more information about the RD Sport R35S, and here’s where things get a bit strange. Under the hood does not appear to be the correct S52 motor, but a M52 derived motor for the apparent 3.6 liter build. Now, RD Sport did make a 3.5 liter kit for the M52, so perhaps this car had that motor swapped in and then further enlarged? The cam cover looks like Racing Dynamic’s piece with the logo removed, but the injector cover looks different. More deviations from the Racing Dynamics package abound; the front spoiler is definitely theirs but I can’t identify the back diffuser and spoilerettes, and the R35 badges come from an E46 generation. The widebody kit that accommodates the larger rear Style 67s also appears to be custom. Outside of the rear end which looks a bit overdone, the aesthetic overall is pretty neat and helped by the great color, though I admit I think that the original Shadowline finish on the Style 67s would look better. Power is estimated to be in the 330 region at the wheels which may be a stretch, since RD Sport claimed 336 at the crank with the 3.5. Still it should be quite a bit more fun than the stock S52, and coupled to the 6-speed box with big brakes (note the spelling, internet!) and upgraded suspension, this car should really be a fun drive. Bidding has pushed the price towards $10,000 but the reserve is still on; I’d guess that money doesn’t even cover the engine build, never mind the big dollar suspension, brake and body upgrades. There are a few questions that should be answered before paying a premium, but if you like the package this could end up being quite a deal for a turned up M3.
