For Sale: 1987 325lS w/M50 swap
I will be considering all reasonable offers. I will be shipping out to Fort Knox, Kentucky for Boot camp and will not be able to use it. It can't sit around taking up space at my house and I know it doesn't want to.
As some know it is a 1987 325is with the m50 swap. Engine is a 1994 325is m50 OBDI Vanos motor with roughly 75k miles. The tranny is a 5 speed 325is tranny. LTW flywheel, zachs sport clutch kit is in there too. I had to make some custom shift linkage for the tranny so it is quite short throws. I unfortunatly did not replace the bushings...didn't have the time. If that was done the thing would be beyond perfect. Tranny has a 1:1 5th gear so the gears are TIGHT. Interior is completely restored. Spacro Fighter shell seats, momo short anatomico shift knob, and momo competition steering wheel. Most everything was replaced in the interior. Comes with a Sony head unit...not sure of the exact code...fold down face, mp3 cd and all that. When folded up it is really flush as the pics will show...Tokico shocks and springs are on along with an IE strut brace. Mille Miglia Evo 5 17x7.5 wheels are on there with some balding tires...I would suggest new tires. Euro Ellipsoid headlights, Abrahahams motorsports clear turn signals, blacked out side markers, brand new fog lights, replaced all 4 rotors and pads not more than 3k miles ago, completly custom exhaust (2.5 inch downpiping, glasspack, and magnaflow muffler)...hrm what else. Seriously too much to list. Only real problems that I know of are as follows.
-Engine oil leak...not horrid but I am 90 percent positive it is a oil pan leak.
-The gearing is tight so high speeds are not too easily attained. 60 mph is ~3100 rpms.
-The tires will probably need replacing
-I havn't yet wired up an engine oil sensor to the 5 series oil pan so the check panel always shows motor oil.
-The check panel is in German...since I accidentaly ordered a German one. :rofl
-There is a pretty nice dent on the hood. I was planning on a CF hood to fix that anyways but never got around to it.
-Two cracks on dash. Not very wide but noticable...only thing on the interior I couldn't get around to replacing.
-Still has the old tint on there...it is showing its age. There is a guy I know that will take it off and put new stuff on for 200. I might get this done before the sale.
That's about all I can think of right now....if I can think of something else that needs to be added I will just post it later. If you want a certain detail picture just let me know and I'll go take it. Car is Located in Laguna Hills, CA 92653. PM me for info or offers. Don't try to lowball me please...I have invested way too much of my life (upwards of 150 hours) on this car and who knows how much damn money. It really pains me to see it go but I'm moving on and I can't get stuck behind for a car.
Mid engine swap...so you know it happened....
Paint is still pretty damn good. It had a respray about 3 years ago. This is after a solid detail.
Seats....
