I have a 1991 325i with only 145k original miles (carfax and maintenance records as proof) and only 1 owner. The car has been a Eugene Oregon car it's entire life and has NO RUST, a clean title and has never been in an accident of any kind.

The car currently has the original m20 motor in it which is making a fairly loud ticking noise which could either be valvetrain noise and as simple as a valve adjustment or may be as severe as a rod knock. Either way I was planning on swapping in an s52 and ZF 5 speed transmission from a lower mileage 1997 m3 (125k miles on the motor and transmission).

I am including almost everything needed for the swap. Here is a list of what all is included:

Complete 3.2l S52 motor (125k miles on it)
5 speed manual ZF transmission (125k miles)
Like new OEM Sachs clutch kit (5k miles on it)
Manual pedal assembly
Slave cylinder
Manual clutch line
Like new alternator
All pullies and tensioners
Intake & exhaust manifolds (with O2 sensors)
Complete uncut wiring harness (from a manual m3 and still installed on the motor)
Aluminum thermostat housing
Like new metal impeller water pump
Manual transmission cross brace
AC compressor
Mechanical fan and fan clutch
E36 m3 radiator
Oil filter housing
M power coil pack cover
Coil packs
fuel rail
OEM Pink top injectors

There are probably a few little things I am forgetting but as you can see there are only a couple things you would need to buy in order to complete the swap.

The e30 runs and drives fine as it is now but I haven't been driving it just in case it is a rod knock and now just noisy lifters or valves in need of adjustment. I would recommend towing the car if you do now live in the area.

I wish I had the time and money to complete this project but I really need to clear up some space and free up some funds for a turbo e36 project I am currently working on.

I am asking $3000 for everything or $1500 FIRM for just the e30 and $2000 FIRM for just the motor and transmission and all the other parts listed above.

Please email me if you have any questions and I will respond as soon as possible. If you include your number I can call or text you back.

Sorry I don't unfortunately although I was told compression was +-2 psi of 200psi on each cylinder

I'd scoop this deal up in a heartbeat if you were even relatively close to me. Good luck man, this is a great deal.

Why do deals like these never make it's way to Michigan or it's neighboring states?

What sort of quotes have you gotten to ship this car and all the parts to, say, Missouri? :popcorn:
