1989 Cirrusblau 325i Coupe
202k on chassis
Car was originally purchased by my son and I in May of 2017 from Seattle WA. We flew out and drove it back to ohio
Had an issue where it wouldn’t start once we arrived back home and I took it to Flitzen Factory in Richfield OH to have it looked at I was enamored with the capability of their builds and decided promptly that instead of troubleshooting the no start issue we were going to go full steam ahead with an S52 swap.
This started with a fully rebuilt s52 (now there are roughly 5000 mi since rebuild on the engine)
Flitzen Factory did all of the heavy lifting on the engine swap, including all fabrication of exhaust, brake booster relocation, subframe reinforcements, etc.
It took most of that summer and part of the fall before the first startup commenced.
I then spent all of 2018 buttoning up the bolt on side of the equation where no expense was spared and all of the “right” parts were selected as you can see below.
I have well north of 25k into the car including the original 8k I purchase the car for
