    S50 swapped e21

    Really no idea what this is worth so here it goes.

    1977 320i with 130xxx chassis miles, pretty good original paint. Floors have been patched minorly and undercoated.
    S50 3.0l from a 95 M3 with an estimated 160-170k. Mated to a getrag 260.
    Motor runs well but has a hiccup on idle, No hesitation or sputtering while driving. No dash lights on. All gauges work properly.
    Paint and body are very nice for their age. Paint could use a good buff but will clean up well I'm sure. Body is straight with minimal rust, some surface rust on the body mainly under the door trim on driver side














    The bad:
    No carpet
    Headliner sags
    Head unit works when it wants to
    Needs front wheel bearings
    Glovebox doesnt stay closed unless locked (extra glove box included)
    Leaks a small amount of oil
    Need front struts (have Koni reds to go with sale)
    Bumpers aren't perfectly aligned
    Hood has patina/ surface rust
    Needs inspected, I'll get it inspected for PA buyers
    DME needs to be relocated
    Missing passenger side mirror
    Windshield wipers are slow

    The good:
    Euro bumpers (trim not pictured but included, you will need new clips)
    Euro single headlight conversion
    Sport steering wheel
    Short ram intake
    Mishimoto intake elbow
    OBD2 exhaust manifolds
    TRM chip
    AKG poly motor mounts
    Custom trans brace with Delrin mounts
    Custom 3" exhaust with Magna flow muffler
    E34 M5 clutch and LTW flywheel
    3.91 LSD
    Ground Control coilover conversion
    Ground Control camber plates
    Larger front sway bar (not installed but included)
    Speedhut GPS speedo and tach
    Large aluminum radiator
    Stewart High Performance water pump
    180 degree thermostat
    Recaro Trophy seats from a mk2 VW GLI. 8/10 condition

    Extra parts:
    Glovebox
    Clear corners
    Original steering wheel
    US spec headlight surrounds (no headlights included)


    All in all this is a really unique, fun car that put a smile on my face every time I drove it. Its the ultimate sleeper and a great project for somebody, it doesn't need much to be a really solid car. I just really miss having an e36, that being said I'll trade for a '96+ e36 M3 coupe or $4000 CASH UNTIL FRIDAY 5/9. After that the price will be back to 5,000

          For it's "known" issues, price is way to high IMO. But maybe you will get that.

            I traded my e36 m3 for this car. If you think the price is too high you can make an offer, worst I can say is no. If not, keep it moving

              It was "FS" here in October listed at 3500(which was a "steal" sure), myself and other members tried to buy it but the seller kept flaking and not responding.

              looks like a good car, but e21s don't demand much, but it is worth more than 3k in parts sure. GLWS.

                I'm not here to make a killing off anyone. Its a solid car and it drove 9 hours for me with no issues. This car is worth way more than 3500. As stated in the first line I really have no idea what its worth, 6500 is just a starting point. I'm open to any and all offers and will work with anyone who has cash and wants to discuss further. I traded my M3 for it so that was the basis of the initial $6500, I understand that the buyers, not the seller dictate the value

                    That is not my intention, I was just making an inquiry on what is public information. If not me it would have been someone else.

                    I am sure the OP will have no problem selling, and I hope he gets close to what he believes it (or his m3) are/were worth.

                        Rondo, no hard feelings. Had no idea this car was previously for sale here so I assumed you were under the impression it was stock. I will answer all questions to the best of my ability, I'm really not too experienced in e21's or this cars past. Thanks Cabriolet! Although I am a little disappointed you didn't say "wow" at least once due to your avatar lol
