    FS: 1989 325i Track/Street - S50 Swapped, 5 Lugged... SOLD

    The time has come to list one of my two babies for sale. As many of you know I have owned this car for a long time and more or less every single part has been changed on it over the course of the years. I bought this car in 2006 as a stock automatic 325i. In late 2007 the car was S50 swapped and of course converted to 5 speed. During the time of the swap every hose and gasket was changed on the engine other than the headgasket itself. The swap and wiring were performed by John at TNG Automotive (aka TNG Specialties) and myself. In early 2009 the entire car was stripped down to be repainted (by John at TNG as well), all dents and dings were fixed and the car received 4 coats of Eastwood Hot Rod Black paint. The chassis currently has about 180k and has a CLEAN California title.

    Please understand that this is NOT a show car. Although it does receive compliments often (and I do feel it's basically one of a kind) it still is not perfect. Some of the trim pieces were never put back on after the paint job as you can see in the photos. This is something that has not concerned me since this car is purpose built and is amazing to drive. Once you take a ride in the car and experience the power, handling and braking force you will agree. This E30 would make a GREAT double duty car, fun on the canyon roads and absolutely amazing on the track.

    Here's a list of the modifications done to the car. I am quite sure I am forgetting things. There are many parts on the car that were purchased NEW, something I can't even begin to put together a list on...

    Engine/Drivetrain:
    110k S50 engine
    100k 260 transmission
    No A/C, no P/S

    Yellow fog light Lamin-X
    MHW smoked front blinkers
    European headlight grilles

    Black leather rear seat
    Black door panels
    Clean OEM gray carpet
    Ltd Edition Dash Mat
    Rare Nardi 370mm steering wheel
    No stereo, OEM radio blank

    The car is strictly business. There is no radio to take away from the exhaust's amazing sound. There is no power steering to take away from the excellent steering feel. There is no air conditioning to add weight, roll those windows down and enjoy. Other than the missing trim pieces the car really has no "problems". Get in, drive, ENJOY. This car MUST go to a deserving owner, period.

    $11,800 or best offer. PM me or email schwarze30 at gmail dot com

    No joyrides or tire kickers please! Serious buyers only.

              For just the reason you mentioned, to keep things clean.

              Car stays nice and cool, even on 100 degree days.

                        That "satinschwarz" sticker is worth the price of admission, Matt, good luck with the sale!

                        Knowing the rep of the people who worked on the car, prospective buyers should know that this is one of those swaps done right (i.e. professionally), not some hacked together, backyard job.

                          That is a clean swap. I know everyone does 24v's today but only a few are that perfect.

                            therefore, their value is much greater.
