    FS: 1989 325i Whole or parted out between rolling shell and swap

    Ok so i got the car together but the engine has some issues. it runs great however it smokes and burns oil (no leaks) i found out the previous owner of this engine use to street race (of course after i had purchased the engine)

    the engine pulls hard and strong, does not over heat and idles great. just needs rings and you are set.
    I got compression and leak down tests from Rafa from when he tested it while the PO had the engine but they just dont mesh with how the engine should run with those numbers honestly.
    this engine will need new rings to be good again and honestly i am really tired of working on this car. i built this car from scratch when it was in terrible shape and i do not want to pull the engine tear down and put back together. thats not how i visioned my summer back in March when i bought started this project.
    im taking a loss as a lot of the parts were purchased new for the car except the exhaust and shocks and im marking even the new parts down

    heres what im asking below. i dont mind selling the car as a whole or parting it out at this point between rolling shell and swap or all together.
    I think my prices are pretty fair but if not please let me know.


    Clean shell, clean title like to get 2400 for parts and rolling shell together (All parts listed below are currently installed on vehicle. Id like to keep installed and sell as rolling shell if possible first)

    I listed prices next to each of them to show why the price is 2400 all together but i paid more for each part alone.

    900 - E30 Rolling shell includes new coolant over flow tank, water tank E34 gas cable and E36 M3 radiator
    200 - 97 E36 M3 steering Rack + AKG Knuckle adapter kit and Spacer Kit
    0 - AKG Offset Control Arm Bushings (RED)
    100 - Brand new E30 Tie Rods
    150 - Brand new E30 Control Arms
    125 - E30 VDO gauge cluster w/ Orange needles & chrome rings with CF overlay
    250 - Black Sport Seats fronts and rear Black front and rear door panels
    300 - Tokico Blue Shocks and H&R Sport springs + JTD Rear shock mounts
    250 - Personal steering wheel and MOMO hub + Nrgy adapter
    75 - E30 M3 Engine wiring cover
    50 - ZHP Shift knob
    no charge - E21 brake booster

    2400
    Literally ready to accept a 24 valve swap.

    Like to get the parts below together but wil part if enough people are interested in most of the things.
    1300 - 1996 S52 Engine (includes stewart water pump, S52 exhaust manifolds, E34 oil pan and 535i mounts)
    200 - ZF Transmission with all new bushings and Z4 shifter and tranny mounts (has slight grind when shifting from 4th to 2nd but going 1st to second is fine and 3rd to second is fine, only 4th to 2nd grinds)
    250 - 3.25 LSD diff
    200 - brand new custom built 2 piece Drive shaft balanced with CSB from Atlanta Drive line Services. (paid 400 dollars last month)
    200 - E36/E30 wiring harness ready to plug into E30
    300 - E34 M5 Clutch and Pressure plate and Throw out bearing
    150 - Lightweight Flywheel 8 lbs i believe (engine revs really fast almost like a sport bike)
    250 - Red label 413 with TRM S52 Tune (21lb pink top injectors 3 inch Maf 93 octane)

    2850

    literally everything you need to drop into an E30

    250 - Supersprint mid pipe + E36 M3 catback modified for E30 with E36 hangers modified for E30 fitment

    total all together - 5500 added up or take 5000 as it sits.

    oh man :(

    lots of parts i'd love to buy.

    if parting, how much for the trans, diff and driveshaft? you can ship it up with the booster? :p

    but for serious... sorry to see this go :(

        is it futile to get a shipping quote for the trans, diff and driveshaft?
