Hi all,

Gauging interest on this, but I just picked up a totaled 2011 ZCP E90 M3 from a friend with 55k miles. Likely going to part it out, but wanted to see if anyone wanted it as is. If you have body shop connections, I imagine this could be fixed as long as you could source the parts and perform the work. This could also make for an excellent race-car if you have the abilities to get it track ready. If it's something you wanted to fix for the street, you would need to take the salvaged title and have it re-certified in your state (process could be different depending on the state, but I'm not an expert so don't hold me to that.)

I went to the inspection yard this morning and took a look at the damage in person. Besides the front right (passenger) corner of the car, the rest of the car is in great shape. The engine doesn't start, but that is due to the blown BST (normal in an accident). I'll be swapping that out to start it and make sure it runs, but I'm 99.9% sure the engine/transmission are fine.







The damage (from what I can see) is as follows:

• Front passenger side wheel/suspension/body
• Front bumper/hood
• Driver side airbag
• Right side curtain airbag (looks like it took out part of the headliner too)

I'm sure many of you will have questions and I'll do my best to answer them. I also want to be as transparent as possible, so please ask if you think I have missed or overlooked something (or want more detailed photos of something specific).

Thanks!
Dane

Dibs on the wheels if they're in good shape if you decide to part out.

How much for the spoiler if you part out?

I’ll cross that bridge when I get there, haha. For now would really like to see the car go to someone who can restore it and enjoy a real ZCP sedan! There aren’t a whole lot left!

Hah yep! I work with him. I also have an E90 ZCP so we became friendly at work. I jokingly asked him to buy it back. Fast forward to today and it's getting dropped off in my driveway tomorrow morning.

Dane, got nothing but love for you and your buddy. What's the estimate to get this thing up and running? 20-25 grand? Whomever buys it, please keep us updated.

Another wise poster on this forum once said,

"This car is like a really hot girl who got a meth habit, lost half her teeth and got HIV then got into rehab and miraculously cleaned herself up. Now she has the HIV under control, new good looking fake teeth, and is at least functional and hot again.

Would I date or marry that? Hell no. Might be good for a free weekend driver though if you're desperate."

Oh that guy who drove his car in the rain without DSC fully engaged. ha ha

It'll get up and running again if you put 15 grand in it or more. And you know if we have to, overnight parts form Japan...

Hah, that's certainly one way of looking at it! I think it would cost that much if you didn't have the ability to do this type of work. If you have the ability/resources and access to a body shop, I think this could be a fully functional ZCP M3 with 55k miles for well under $20k all in.

The previous owner of this car (my buddy) has been on the track a bunch of times. He wasn't doing anything wreckless that caused this to happen. For those of you who aren't familiar, West Side Hwy is really slippery when it's wet. I think he regularly drove in MDM mode. Shit happens I suppose!

If this car was in CA, i would be picking it up. Across the country kills the deal for me, somebody with a body shop in NY area grab this!

[mtx450]

Took the busted fender off (for now) to get better pictures of the frame. Clearly the fender apron is toast. I would think that you could easily cut that out, lightly pull the shock tower, and then weld in a new one. From dead on, the shock tower doesn't even look that off.

Next, I'll tackle the suspension to get that busted wheel off so I can get better pictures of what's going on there.

Lot's of offers on the car so far, but it's still here (for now).

[InnerBlueSkies]

Keep up the good work. It goes without saying that the engine will have to be completely removed.

OP

keep me posted. I have the3 same car and was about to do some work on it.
if you decide to part out the car there is a number if things I am interested in,
my car is exactly the same color and also DCT.

I am also in NY (Brooklyn)

This is sold, thanks all!
