    Charlotte NC 89 325i M50 Swap - Perfect Track Car $2000

    Car is located in Charlotte, NC

    I purchased this car not knowing what to do with it and finally decided I just do not have space for 3 cars. I will describe this car as honestly as possible but I did not to the swap myself.

    Has a 1995 M50tu with a Getrag 260 (no clue on miles for either) and what feels like a relatively fresh clutch. Driveshaft I was told is custom and has a 3.73 open diff. Three of the wheels are the same. One is a bottle cap.

    There is a leak in the brake booster, hisses like mad at idle, brakes operate fine, pretty much acts like non-power brakes.

    There is a pretty nasty power steering leak. Looks to me like the crush washers were not used/re-used. Fluid bottle looks new.

    New Radiator & waterpump.

    New shocks/struts. Brakes look relatively fresh.

    Body is in poor condition. Front grille assembly is included atleast what PO gave me. Has been sort of tack welded in place, needs a few pieces of metal to complete. Lots of bondo on the body. I saw no rust but there may be some.

    No windows work. One is held in place with wood shims. Has tan front sport seats. Door panels in poor condition.

    Center console included but sitting in back seat. has full size bottlecap spare. Odo says 241xxx, gear has broken internally. Speedo does not work. Temp gauge does not work, has after market mechanical temp guage installed. No stereo.

    Runs like a champ, wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere as long as you keep power steering fluid topped off.

        Best way to contact me is jeffrotberg@gmail.com for some reason my e-mail notifications are not working from this site.

        e-mail me with a request for pictures. The car is currently sitting at a buddies business. I can run up there and snap some more pictures for seriously interested buyers!

        As far as rust. I see none....I have not been underneath it though.

                Thanks for your concern. The car is far from a fire hazard, the swap is actually done right, it was just not prettied up, I have driven worse before :).

                I would make more money parting it out but I do not have the time.

                        Wish I could, don't have a trailer and it has no insurance on it currently.
