    1990 325i with S52 conversion

    Nice 1990 325i S52 conversion, motor and transmission came out of a 98 and had only 17K miles on it! The swap was completed about a month ago by a R3V member who specializes in these conversions. I was having the car done for my son but after driving it i decided it was way to fast for him. Here is what was done:



    1998 s52 with 17K miles Chassis has around 170K
    1998 m3 transmission with correct mounts
    *2.93 LSD
    Converted to OBD1
    318 radiator remote reservoir delete
    735il break booster
    $2500 paint job
    Painted engine bay
    *New Kuhmo 215-45-17 tires
    *New ESM wheels
    New flowMaster exhaust
    New battery
    Comes with a crack free dash
    Asking $8500 please call with any questions Located in California

              all that power work and no suspension to keep that thing under control?! How much did the front end lift when you went WOT??? Lol!

              Very good price, that s52 is still a virgin!

                    Does it have an LSD and do you have any Interior shots?

                      I will post more pics tomorrow. I was going to do the suspension until i found out how fast the car was so i decided to let the next guy do it. Car needs a 2.93 LSD, passed smog.

                          ha. yes, it'd be too fast AND dangerous on that stock set up for a rwd noob.

                          Looks like a clean swap. GLWS.

                            I know this is lowballing, but my e30 budget is 6k. Would you be willing to trade for that and a shitty 84 318i? Great first car, not fast, auto, reliable. Not bad on gas either.
