    FS or FT: 91 318i 24v swap

    *Back up for sale*

    Looking to trade/sell my 91 318i m52b28. Car is a blast to drive and very healthy. Put 207whp down. Just had our third child so its time for a different car. Im probably missing some stuff so please just ask me. Thanks for looking!

    The Build..

    The swap has been done for over a Year with it being a daily driver..Ive logged probably around 15k miles with the car/maintenance. The car is full OBD2 with no corners skipped. The car pulls hard. Please read all of the details of the page. I take pride in my cars. The guy I sold my IX "$7250" still emails me and asks me questions about it. I hope this finds someone that enjoys e30s but lurks for more power :)

                      I'd trade you this M3... but it seems like it would be even less practical for a growing family...
