1989 325iS (WBAAA1305KAE57029) $SOLD obo, no trades
Color: Bronzit
Mileage: 258k on working odometer (12,000 miles on swap)

Dyno: Evolution Motorsports Mustang Dyno 243hp 246tq
Title: Clean and Clear Arizona title in hand.
I purchased this car from California in April 2011. The swap was completed in May 2011. All work was performed by me. I spent the time and money addressing everything I felt was going to be an issue. This was not a rush project!
I am a very meticulous individual and it shows in this car. There are no leaks, drips or signs of half ass work anywhere. I have touched damn near every aspect of this car during the build. The only areas I have not messed with are the head gasket, fuel tank, fuel hard lines, ABS and brake hard lines. My build tally is in excess of $17k (not including my time and labor). With the exception of the headlights and short shifter everything listed below was put on the car by me in the last two years. All documented in a large binder full of receipts.

Things I would do if I were to keep the car.
• The car exterior has dents, dings and some scuffs. It would be 99% better with some PDR work.
• Replace the windshield. It is not cracked, but it is old and pitted.
Positives;
• This car is beyond fun and reliable. Built to be daily driven, tracked and to withstand the Arizona summers.
• Clean! The interior is amazing and the exterior/engine bay show wonderfully.
• Keyless entry
• Raw performance yet DD’able and shows very well
• The exhaust (yeah, it’s that good!)
• No rust – NONE!
• Legal just about everywhere in the US with the exception of California
• It’s not a waterbed or a Cadillac
Negatives; (My weight reduction modifications probably won’t appeal to most.)
• No Air Conditioning, deleted all the way to the firewall
• I am smog exempt due to a Collector Car clause in AZ. The car will need the cat replaced to pass. I have a brand new replacement cat I can include with the sale.
• No stereo, speakers or antennae
• No spare tire well
• 2 - 2” cracks in the dash
• Driver and passenger side fenders have been replaced with OEM pieces. The Vin tags match the rest of the car. Car was not in an accident. We had a track day and wind flipped one of the easy-ups in the air and it landed on my DS fender. The PS fender had damage from the PO, so I replaced them both.
• Dents and dings from 24 years of service
• No oil level sensor
• Upper right of driver side foot well carpet is ripped/missing
• It’s not a waterbed or a Cadillac
