UPDATE: Fixed oil leak and check engine light! Its track ready!
Selling my 318ti Sport w/ an S52 that was rebuilt by Metric Mechanic. The donor engine had a cracked head which leaked water into a cylinder and rusted the bore so we started with an M52 block, bored it for stock S52 pistons and used a different head. Has stock S52 cams, crank, pistons, and rods, but received a lot of MM goodies.
I get a lot of compliments when I take it autocrossing.
Asking $11.5k OBO. I'm open to offers and local trades for something sporty and RWD. Contact by PM or email jonfromage at hotmail dot com or call/text 501 772 9784

Interior:

Pre-wired for sub and amp
Braille 21lb AGM battery relocated to hatch
Extra sound deadening in hatch

Depo Headlights with HIDs and Angel Eyes
Motion Motorsport Aluminum undertray

Lumar Air Blue tint -- really helps with heat rejection
Spare 15x7 stock wheels included
Bad stuff: Car could use a respray. I recently buffed it and it looks a lot better but the hood was flaking due to a poor quality respray from the PO - no documented accident that I can recall from when I purchased it. So I vinyl wrapped the hood and it looks much better, but still not great. Has an oil leak from the pan gasket. AC leaked at the firewall connection, new o-rings and receiver dryer included with car.
Car is really reliable other than the fact that the small Braille battery doesn't like to be run down, but if you're driving it often and not leaving lights on it'll be great for a DD
