This is a complete drivetrain and all necessary components to convert a 84-85 318i to M42. Its a 40% HP increase over stock. The engine has 162k and has perfect compression. No oil leaks and does not burn any oil. The profile gasket has been replaced. The complete engine, transmission (whines a little on decel in 4th) the driveshaft with new center bearing. Shift linkage, all engine wiring, ECU, AFM, conversion plug for 91 wiring harness to 84-85 e30. Complete exhaust system with custom 2.5" aluminized exhaust with no cat. New Dynomax muffler. Still in car and can be driven before purchase. Runs excellent.

I get about 21-22 in town, 28-29 on the highway. Engine has about 30k miles on it. When it was new it got 25 in town, 30 on the highway but that was because California didn't use oxygenated fuel then.
