    87 325IS begging for M5x swap

    SOLD!


    It’s time to let this project get the home it deserves. Anybody that wants to swap an M5x motor this is your car. I've been slowly collecting parts to get the car in good shape and to get ready for the swap. I have been driving it daily about 30mi/day, occasional issue at like 75% throttle, if you lift and get back on it it's ok. I take it pretty easy on it though. I've lost interest in this project and it needs to go to someone that will do it right.



    1987 325IS Black/Tan 270,xxx estimated on everything
    Odometer shows 210,700mi new gears installed 3 months ago.
    clean title
    smogged/registered last month (new O2 sensor & cat)
    socal car no rust
    Begging for a swap.

    Has been running as my daily driver for the last few months, sat for a year previous to that waiting to get the new tank and pumps installed. Pumps are pretty noisy, but brand new.

    Trans shifts fine, doesn’t pop out of gear.
    Crack free dash
    Stock IS Diff with LSD – works
    OK paint
    Gauges all work

    Needs
    Brakes – pads & rotors, possibly master/booster as well, recently flushed fluid
    Suspension - shocks/struts and bushings all around
    Interior - passenger seat is in pieces ready to be recovered, still have old leather to make patterns from, foam is in good shape. Driver seat needs to be rebuilt/recovered. Bottom of back seat is missing, if I get a chance I'll see about getting another seat from the yard.
    Blower motor doesn’t currently work, might be stuck. Has good resistor pack.
    Stick needs to be replaced, previous owner glued the boot to the knob… Also needs the linkage tightened up.

                  I'm not that desperate to sell it. I'll wait for a buyer with cash.

                      Fixed the blower this evening. Now she's got working heat.

                        This looks more like a preservation candidate that a swap car. If I didn't have to pay transpo costs, I'd be all over this!
