Hey R3V. After careful consideration, I've decided to put my S52B32 swapped 318is up for sale. So here it goes:
Engine
-Small oil leak from oil pan gasket & RMS.
-Cracked dash (can include clean dash for right price)
-Paintjob isn't perfect & has a few runs & flaws.
-Clutch makes noticeable squeak when letting foot off pedal aggressively when shifting.
-Speedometer can be intermittent
-Engine bay could be prettied up/color-matched.
With that being said, the car runs pretty great & has been reliable (I've taken it on a 1500 road trip without issue). The A/C was added in 2020 & still blows ice cold. All the electronics work & the tan sport interior is pretty clean with minor flaws. It drives smooth & straight down the freeway in relative comfort & it's fun! It's clean enough to turn heads, but you won't feel bad about putting miles on it & accumulating wear. Absolutely rust free. Clean NV title in hand. I have several more photos (R3V limits me to 5) for an interested buyer. Located in the Reno, NV area.
Asking $13,500
Thanks (:
