S52OBD1 Swap COMPLETE! Trans, diff, DS, everything!

[Freude am Fahren]

If you end up parting, I could use the bits to convert my E36 M3 from auto to manual...

Yes this was Brett's car. I might have to just put to stock and either keep it and sell my 325eS or sell it...

I've watched this build from the start. This thing is stupid clean. Just about EVERYTHING is brand new.

It's a steal for the non-smog crew. It'll be a shame to see it parted out.

...and you know Ryan's attention to quality and detail...no cut corners.

[mulletman]

Ugh. So much want, so little money.

[mashpro]

Interested in a few things off this car if it comes to that.

[BadfishTX]

Beautiful. I like it

[mpowerful]

The problem is that it is without a title so even for us non-smog people it is sort of hard to buy.

[M3 Ryan]

It's going to come down to putting the car to stock and selling the swap off.... I will update thread when I'm done pulling swap and how I feel then

Excuse my ignorance about smog testing in CA, I am from PA. But why does it have to be OBDII compliant? I see you have a S50 valve cover, it didn't pass as one? If it is because of the engine being S52 OBDII, but they would be fine with a S50 why not trade somebody for an S50? An S50 is OBDI and they can't expect an OBDI engine to be OBDII compliant. It sucks to have to tear the engine out but if you can keep the car and swap just the engine, that is the route I would go. Basically the same engine. But I have no clue what type of smog or emission standards CA has, so this might be no help to you. I was just trying to help.

This drivetrain is SOLD. Car may be available in a month with stock engine. Thank you all for the interest.
