The time has come for me to part with my car. I have put a lot of thought in to this and although its not an easy decision it is one I am comfortable with. For those interested I have a complete build thread with everything documented. All parts used are OEM or better and can be vouched for by a forum member that works for BMW where I bought the parts. He is also one of the people that helped with the swap.
Here is a my list of my expenses when I built the car:

I’m not looking to make money or even bust out, however I’m not looking to take a blood bath on it as well. The car runs strong and has been done right. Either new parts or upgraded parts were used all over. Please contact me via pm with any questions as I will get notified on my phone. Willing to ship at buyers expense.
There are some extra parts that will come with the car but this is the meat and potatoes of the deal:
Exhaust work – True dual to Stromung out back, Brand new dual inlet/outlet Cat
The car has an s52 converted to OBD1 with a Turner/Comforti Chip, Suspension is AST 4100’s, Spring rates are 600 in the fronts and 650 in the rears, AKG ploy bushings throughout the rear of the car
The front coilovers, Brakes have converted to e36m on the front and 318ti on the rear
They were purchased new from Jack Money
Rear Suspension
Bushing on the calipers have been upgraded to solid brass ones
I removed the ABS and installed a brand new ATE 25.4 MC. The same in the e36m
Cooling is handled by a Mishimoto Radiator and 16” SPAL Pusher fan, Massive’s Fan brackets were used for the fan and work excellent
The interior is a work in progress. I had plans of turning it black eventually. I have grey carpet that will go with the car. The sport seats I had originally planned on recovering in one of Kevin’s kits (750) from Creative Options. At this point the seats are in great condition but just wrong color for me.
Rear deck lid is recovered in Alcantara
All hoses and lines are brand new OEM or better. Fuel lines, filter, pump, vacuum hoses, thermostat, water pump, Valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, gasket between the block and oil filter housing, and many more have all been replaced
Diff is 3.46s and rebuilt with new clutches. It held 77.5 ft lbs before breaking which is really good.
Everything on the rear suspension is new except the sway bar bushing atm, UUC SS Brake lines, Rear camber caster plates were welded in

There’s so much more and I will add to it as I get time. If any references are needed on the car I am more than willing to provide people that can speak about the car beside myself.
