Up for sale is my 318is/S52. I've owned this for just over two years now and turned it from an m50 swap on tired suspension into something that does very well on track and will get you home after. If I didn't live in AZ I would still consider daily driving it (I did a couple of weeks in winter), but that is definitely not what this car is about. The suspension is on the stiff side, but very controlled on the road. The gearing is short. The interior has partly self-lightened itself by shedding non-critical items here and there (all present and sold with car). The current tires are less than stellar in rain.
Why do I need to sell it? I've been living here for work for two years, and am getting ready to go back home to Europe in July. I sadly cannot take it since I would need a trailer and a tow vehicle. The car is way too modified to ever be able to register it in Belgium, so I'll ship my (stock) M-Coupe and have to part with this.
Car is located in the Phoenix area, clean title, ready to go, with 2 fresh years of AZ emissions just done.
I am not saying this car is cosmetically great, and that was not my focus point building this. Everything was done to work well, and no corners where cut there. But to pick up chicks I would look elsewhere.

As you can see, visually it's not perfect, but the parts make for one hell of a track machine. I am open to offers, no trades please.
