    Revised Ad: $4900 1991 318is Alpine M50 swapped, coilovers, camber plates,

    1991 318is M50 swapped. Clean body, clean title. Comes on bottlecaps.

    Pros:
    Repainted in 2003, was garage kept until my ownership where I don't have a garage and it's parked on the street..thus some scratches here and there but overall not shabby.
    130k mile M50 Swapped...aka superior motor amongst all mankind...
    TRM Chip, revs to like a million RPM
    Ground Control coilovers, 500/600lbs, plus Cosmo Camber plates
    New Bilsteins
    Pretty good interior. Black w/ Grey Carpet
    Drove it 300miles every week when the semester was in session...I got it officially on the road in January (it was a shell) with 193k I believe. It has 201xxx miles now. Never let me down, never on a tow truck.
    98% rust free ! Holla. Under the sunroof is a bit nasty, common rear valance battery tray.
    Full exhaust......S52 headers to 2.5" single to walker cat to a magnaflow. Nice, quiet, deep, sounds awesome
    2.79LSD...2000rpm at 65mph on the highway, yet you can still rip it sideways whenever you'd like! yay.

    Neutral:
    Stiff ride, your girlfriend may not like it but handles like a mofo.
    No Powersteering or AC...if that's your thing.

    Cons:
    Oil leaks from the chain tensioner....don't worry it doesn't mean it fucks up the timing chain or components at all, just leaks from there.
    Check engine light (O2 code) as a result of not running a gasket between the header and the midpipe.
    CV boot is torn......plenty of grease inside of it though.
    NVH from the front of the car, as a result of a worn ball joint on the control arm, there is a new control arm included in the sale.

    Maintainence:
    NEW Clutch, Pressure plate, resurfaced M20 flywheel, new rear main, new pilot bearing, throwout bearing, shifter bushings, guibo, guibo bolts, driveshaft bushing.....I'm talking about these were done two weeks ago..All Sachs/OEM
    CSB done in January
    Motor is refreshed with all new gaskets excluding headgasket. Nothing done to the bottom end. Any gasket accessable with the engine in the car has been replaced. Oil pan gasket was done when motor was out.
    All new sensors everywhere.

    Here are all the cosmetic imperfections:

                Let me clarify, the chain tensioner being leaky does not affect the timing chain at all, it's a 3 min fix once you get a new 1 piece style one, its a single 32mm bolt that is very easily accessible on the side of the engine. I got a PM asking this

                  Who gives a fuck about the oil changes/maintenance that was done on the engine that is no longer in the car, what maintenance has been done to the M50?

                  Was the car hit in the front or does the bumper just fit like shit?

                  Do you have any problems with the non hub centric wheels shaking?

                  been driving on it for 10k+ miles..still has grease in it..hasn't been a problem nor am I worried about it.
                  What other kind of stuff are you just not worried about?

                  Will you take $750

                    Lol, the point of that was to show that it was adult owned, maintained well, isn't shit.

                    If you look through my previous threads, I had an idle issue that resulted in me changing all the sensors and gaskets on my motor, thinking it was a sensor or vacuum leak, when all it really was that my O2 wasn't connected. So in addition to changing all the motor sensors, the O2 was also replaced, and all the gaskets excluding the head gaskets.

                    Bottlecaps are included in the sale.

                    I'm worried about many things, but the axle is fine, still has grease and no dirt has contaminated it, so it's fine. Other's will replace it.
