M50 Swapped E30 325i manual
Bought it a couple months ago for daily driving duties and it has been an absolute riot, everyone loves it and gets awesome feedback everywhere it goes.
Originally a european 1990 325i brought into Canada, the car was first registered in February of 1990 in Canada till it was brought down by its original owners in 1997 to West Palm. The car was then purchased by its previous owner before me and received a drivetrain swap from an e36 with 97k miles. Estimated mileage now ~100,000 miles with new plugs, injectors, headers, radiator, coolant refresh, and upgraded intake.
I bought the car with the swap done to it, however there were details that needed addressing when I brought it home. I since then have realigned the transmission (hence no shift boot) and the engine as the manifold was hitting the brake booster. I had a Porsche 944 brake booster installed to the vehicle to make room for the manifold and fix the brake feel of the car. I also refreshed all coolant hoses and in the first week of June had the car at SMIT auto getting a new thermostat housing installed and new reservoir tank installed as well. Since then, the car runs below half temp at all times and shows no signs of leaks anywhere of any sort of fluid from the engine.
Interior wise, the car has the original comfort seats that came with it and has held up phenomenally considering its age. The dashboard has zero cracks in it and always stays covered. Blower works at all speeds and hoses are all there for AC. It also has bluetooth handsfree and aux input with good speakers. It is missing the driver's footwell cover (it had a 740 cover that got chopped to fit, I hated it so I threw it away and will source an original for its buyer upon sale). Wipers work at all speeds, blinkers work and return to position when turning, lights are wired to constantly be on during day and night (obviously turn off when car turns off, much safer) PHENOMENAL horn, you'll need that being small driving in Miami.
OBC screen doesnt work however warning lights up top work and sunroof crank popped out (E30's are known for this). Driveshaft could use a rebalance, given the bushings for motor mounts and transmission are poly, the vibrations caused by it are enhanced however the second you blip it or go clutch in, it goes away.
Pros:
Crack-less dash
Tinted for Florida's unbearable sun
Ground Control SPEC E30 coilover conversion with Bilstein shocks installed less than three months ago.
Stoptech Slotted Rotors in front with Hawk HPS pads
Toyo R1R tires in rear, all seasons in front
New paint
No rust
All in metric so you'll constantly be training your math conversion skills
All AC components are there (minus compressor and evap)
Electric mirrors work
OG BMW Phone
Butt warmers (no idea if they work but they're there)
Condor weighted shiftknob
Comes with extra driveshaft so you can rebalance it and install
Cons:
Odometer doesn't turn over and half the cluster lights up (if price is met, I will have that addressed by Leo's Speedometers)
Drivers seat tear (you cover it while driving so its not that big of a deal but I guess its a con)
Needs condenser and evaporator
Headlamp took a knick to its glass cover, I have a spare
Check engine light because of the headers, brake light due to sensors, ABS light due to relay
For a car this clean with a swap done to it, you will be in more than what I am asking for the car, lowball me and I will happily ignore you. Offer me a trade and I will also ignore you. Title in hand.
