2001 330ci Twin Screw Supercharged ESS TS1+ Blue/tan ACS 19's UUC 350 hp $16,500

Up for sale is my incredible 350 hp 2001 330ci in the highly desirable color combination of Orient Blue metallic exterior with the sport tan leather interior. I purchased this car from the original owner a while back who was a big E46 enthusiast and almost as anal as I am about my cars and kept it in immaculate condition. It has a records folder and was religiously maintained and racked up 99% of its 118k miles on the highway (as is evident by the impeccable condition of it's interior and exterior) The car was well optioned from the factory with the premium and sport packages (power and memory seats, blue tooth, moonroof, cd changer, HK premium sound system, rear fold down seats, etc). No bodywork or paintwork was ever done on the car, it's exterior and interior has been consistently maintained by the previous owner and I as we are detailing fanatics (it's interior has been kept up with lexol, leatherique, etc while the exterior has only seen Zymol, poorboyx, meguiars, etc). I only use Microfiber on the car (even the wheels) and am very anal about swirlmarks, the paint and clearcoat are in excellent condition. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.


As far as maintenance this car has had every point covered, new UUC suspension with UUC springs and Koni sport shocks custom valved, all new bushings all around with powerflex urethane components (front control arms, rear trailing arm bushings, etc), New OEM mayle front control arms (these are a maintenance must and are very expensive to do), adjustable rear control arms, slotted and drilled rotors all around with pagid pads, UUC lightweight flywheel with M5 clutch, new fluids all around, new OEM spark plugs, new streamline performance lifetime air filter, UUC transmission mounts, etc. The car needs nothing, 3k oil changes with mobil fully synthetic 0w-40 and OEM bmw filter done religiously.
In addition to all this, the car has had an extensive amount of tasteful and functional modifications performed to it. These include (but are not limited to as I may remember more over time):


ESS TS1+ (upgraded 7psi pulley) kit - Twin screw supercharger system developed by ESS exclusively for the E46 330 which produces (a stock kit) 325 hp (with the streamline filter and headers this is closer to 350 hp). The power the car makes is amazing, however this kit was developed to produce a power band very close to the factory so that although acceleration is very quick, it is not jerky. This car will put about 1 1/2 car spaces on a 2007 335 6 speed by the end of 3rd gear. All the stock components replaced with this kit will be included with the car:

Custom Stainless Steel headers - These produced amazing gains on the car and were necessary with the supercharger in order to develop the full horsepower potential of the motor. The installation alone costs $700 for them but was well worth it. The car's factory exhaust system sounds amazing after installing these and the supercharger, an aftermarket system was not necessary. I have custom O2 simulators installed on these. I will include the factory headers/cats with the car.


3.45 OEM BMW differential - Provides the car even greater acceleration off the line


UUC "STAGE 2" Lightweight Flywheel with M5 clutch - This was a necessary upgrade in order to harness the power the supercharger system puts out as well as provide an even quicker acceleration (less rotational mass on the flywheel = faster rise in RPMs) (http://www.uucmotorwerks.com/flywheel/LFWLE46SH.htm)


Streamline Performance air filter - Although the ESS TS1+ kit utilized the factory airbox as a result of it's superior engineering, the factory paper filter leaves something to be desired. I replaced it with this performance Streamline filter which lasts a lifetime and only routinely (every 30k miles) needs to be cleaned. It also added a good bit of throttle response.

19" AC SCHNITZER TYPE 3 WHEELS with Toyo Tires and rear ACS spacers - By far my most favorite wheels made exclusively for BMW's. These look amazing on the car and the Toyo tire provide amazing handling. The rear have 10 mm ACS spacers to provide that staggered look, the tires are relatively new with around 80% tread left. (these wheels are $1,100 per wheel and the spacers were an addition $100 : http://www.bavauto.com/fland.asp?par...e=3611%2046503)


UUC Suspension system with Koni Sport shocks - This has been developed exclusively by UUC utilizing UUC springs and Koni sport shocks custom valved for the application. The car is slightly lowered and is slightly stiffer while retaining the comfortable BMW ride. The car handles amazingly with these and they have totally transformed the car.

UUC Swaybarbarians - UUC's highly renowned sway bar kit (http://www.uucmotorwerks.com/html_pr...riptionE46.htm)


UUC EVO 3 Short Shift kit with DSSR- This is a must have mod for me, I cannot stand the factory shifter feel on the 330's, this is what the car should have came from the factory. UUC really outdid themselves with the DSSR (double shear selector rod) also and is another must have.

UUC transmission mounts and enforcers - another deficient point on all BMW's that UUC has rectified (http://www.uucmotorwerks.com/html_pr...ny/pricing.htm)


UUC adjustable rear control arms - necessary to dial in just the right alignment settings (http://www.uucmotorwerks.com/CHROMOLY_ADJ_ARMS/)


Slotted and drilled rotors and Pagid pads - With all this power you have to be able to safely stop


DDM tuning Projector46's with 6000k CCFL "angel eyes" with 6000k ultimate xenons - These are very aesthetically pleasing and the light output is amazing! Expensive but worth it! (http://www.namotorwerks.com/products...ion.php/II=246)


Eagle Eye LED tail lights - These are amazing and are a great upgrade to make the car look like the newer models


OEM clear corners and sidemarkers - Perfect fitment and look

OEM M3 steering wheel - A great upgrade, larger diameter steering with thumb grips, looks excellent!

M3 trunk spoiler

OEM M3 Trunk mat (I love this mod, accents the trunk very nicely)

Brand New OEM E46 M3 front grilles

Brand new cupholders and changeholder from BMW (they're in perfect condition, I'm anal about the interior)

There are more mods that I can't remember off the top of my head but these are the ones that come to mind as of right now. My asking price for the car is less than I've spent on the parts alone and I believe is very fair thus I am fairly firm. I am including all the factory components that were taken off for the supercharger install and the factory headers. I have higher resolution picures for interested parties. The car must be seen to be appreciated. The car currently has about 118k but that may change as I drive it every once in a while (I live within walking distance to work) Email me: ali@abbasiinc.com

Thank you

More pics









Just to show you how well this car has been kept, these are the original floormats that have 118k and 7 years on them and are still perfect!

Crank, for around 350 whp it would need the stage 2 kit.

How much can the stock block handle before getting into internals? Seeing as I have 550-600 crank hp depending on what tune I use on my daily driver right now so whatever I get for a new DD I'd like some balls to it

Keep me updated if you drop the price. I know there is a lot in this car but it's currently out of my budget.

Thanks!

Not sure, this is not a drag car so it may not be for you. The price is not dropping.

LOL I'm aware it's not a drag car. What I was saying is a fairly quick daily driver for when I get the adrenalin rush.

Forgot to add, the car also has:

OEM BMW Motorsport Strut Tower Bar

wow pure sleeper. gorgeous and clean. very impressive. good luck on the sale

Forgot to add, it is very nicely done. Free bump for a nice car

Wow this car is amazing

i love the sleeper looks

damn i thought my car was in good condition....this is insane...the interior looks brand new...the outside is clean too...damn man...this is a big time sleeper...i love it...and the price is actually pretty cheap....good luck with the sale.

Would you part out the supercharger? I think you could still get close to your asking price Private Party on AutoTrader w/o the supercharger, so you'd just be making more money on top of it... Plus, most people probably are split on buying an already-supercharged car. If you decide to part it out, I would very much be interested, assuming it can be made to fit my 328Ci. Like I said... More money for you, and a cheaper S/C for me. Win/Win.

Just Curious What Front Bumper Setup You Have On Your 330CI>? Thanks,
Chris

Thanks guys, the car is truly in impeccable condition.

nleksan, parting the car out to me would be like making a painting and then cutting the canvas into pieces to sell. I can't see myself doing it, I would probably make a good amount more doing it but I'd rather sell it like it is.

maXXed, the front bumper is the OEM factory bumper with the optional titanium trim (cool looking IMO)

I forgot to mention in my original post, but according to my OBC I'm getting 29 MPG (not sure how accurate that is but I mostly do highway driving and it rarely see's over 3k RPM's. The car has never been tracked, etc only highway driven)

Threw it up on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=130233103281
