    Feeler:1991 325is w/ bad s50

    My brother is pretty pissed that his s50 project isnt going well. He got the engine going and exhaust hooked up and drove it for a few days and now there is water in one of the cyliders. He cant put anymore money into this car and wants to sell it or part it. I dont know a for sure price but if anyone wants to buy this car for 3500 and then turn around and plug and play with a s50 for 2500 they have a nice car. everything is there and ready to drive, it just has a bad motor. I will give the best mod list i can but its not my car.

    eibachs with bilstein
    very nice letherett, looks like leather, black sports interior
    ready for s50
    some after market lights, they are bright thats all i know about them.
    tint
    *all the normal IS stuff: tweeters, mirrior lights, obc, l

    No calling dibs on parts but if somone wants a blown s50 as a donor motor for to convert a obdII you can probably take the motor for somthign like 1000 with all the accessoris and with the harness, dme and new radiator hoses.
    hit me up via email fifthherrm@yahoo. or call my cell 909 557 4750

    I can put pictures up in a few days if you guys want but its just a black car with a s50

      I'll take the engine if you can get me more info on it. Shipping via freight should run between 350-400.

      If it comes with e34 oilpan, DME, harness, etc. I'll definitely take it, as long as you can provide some references.

      Thanks!

              -Needs a good polish and wax to get some spots off
              -carpet needs a shampoo
              -exhaust sits a bit off but can be fixed easy
              -seats are very very nice but about 4 inches of tubing on the drivers seat could be replaced
              -fender needs to be replaced but i assure you its only the fender
              *sorry i think the pictures are huge but i cant figure out how to resize on teh comp i am on.

              my brother wants 4000 obo and he is also looking for a cheap bmw prob e30. A trade could work for him, only bmw's

                Again, is the headgasket blown?

                My friend has a E36 325iS he might be willing to work in to a trade plug cash

                Just need to figure out the actual problem with this car

                  Matt. It is very very rare that a headgasket allows coolant to enter the combustion chambers.

                  99% of the time it is a cracked block or head.

                        Yes engine included, and probably a trunk full of crappy parts that came off to make room for the s50, suckers.

                            Dude... seriously. Head gasket set for that engine is $275. A new head casting is about $300. A new block is about the same.

                            Don't let all that work go to waste over ~$500.

                            Just my oppinion.

                              There's a good chance Jordo is right here though, cracked block is a huge possibility
