    my project sedan for sale

    it pains me to do this, but i need to get a truck, and i cant justify having 3 vehicles and a bike. plus i kinda got lazy. the car is a 90 325i, 4 door with a m52 swap.

    m52 pulled out of a 99 328is with 30k miles
    s52 cams
    all new gaskets and seals(except head gasket)
    welded bung on oil pan for future turbo plans
    obd2 dme tuned by technica for the cams and obd1 manifold, also got rid of the other not needed emissions crap, as well as ews
    obd2 harness with everything not needed removed, repinned at the c101 with bmw pins and new plug
    obd1 intake mani
    stewart high flow waterpump
    88* themostat new
    new aluminum thermostat housing
    lower temp fan switch
    planned on keeping ac so all the accessories are here
    uuc cerametallic clutch
    zf 5 speed trans
    e36 328is driveshaft with new e30 center support bearing installed
    revshift guibo
    z3 short shifter with zhp knob and all new bushings and clips

    smoked us ellipsoid headlights
    brand new oem hella taillights
    3" exhaust with magnaflow metal core cat and magna flow muffler will need to be mated to the exhaust manis
    i planned on turboing this car so most of the mods were done to make it as painless as possible when the time came.

    the car needs some work to be finished. inake manifold, fuel rail, radiator and such need to go in. as well as the shift linkage, driveshaft, and diff. i have a good condition carpet as well as power heated e36 sport seats that i planned on putting in. i planned on painting it in the fall, the body is pretty straight, some dings, chips, and scratches, but no major rust or dents.if it doesnt sell i will eventually finish it, but for now, life got in the way. those who know me, or have seen my cars, know i do not cut corners. all work is done as if i was gonna be driving this car everyday.

    i thought i had other pictures on the computer, but i cant find them. i will take more when its daylight.

    im looking to get in the neighborhood of $4000.00. it may seem high to some for a not finished project, but hardware alone is worth more then that. i am not parting it out, as i said, if it doesnt sell, eventually i will get it completed.

      you can see them in the picture showing the front wheel well. they get welded and tie the fender rail to the door jamb/firewall. basically the strut tower gets supported via the fender mounting rail with the upper pices, then the load gets distributed to the firewall with the lower pieces installed.

          like i said, it may seem high to some. there's over a grand in clutch and cams alone, nevermind how hard it is to find a 30k m52. i have receipts for another close to, if not more then a grand in gaskets and small parts. add it up if you like, then go grab pbmw of march 2010 and see how i build cars.
