I finally have the space and time to part out my beloved wagon. I've owned this car for about 2 years now, but it has been sitting for about a year after I bought my current e30. The car was running before being left in my garage for quite some time, however, after a potential buyer had the car checked out at BMW Bellevue I was informed that either the head gasket was blown or there was a cracked cylinder head. I don't have the time to take the entire engine out and figure out what is wrong with it, therefore I decided to part out the entire car.
Everything on the car is available, except for the interior. While the car was sitting in my parents driveway prior to me moving it into my garage, someone in my family took it for a ride and left the sunroof ever so slightly cracked. It rained for at least a solid week before I noticed the condensation on the windows one day. Needless to say, the interior was ruined and is in awful shape. I am in the process of removing every piece of it. There are a lot of good plastic parts from the interior I can clean up from the mold and what not, but as far as carpet, seats, etc. you wouldn't even want to see them. I've tried using space heaters, bought some of that stuff you find in beef jerky bags and nothing could get the moisture out.
SO, lets get on the the car itself now. I don't own a nice camera of any sort, so I hope you don't mind my awesome cell phone pics for now. I have included the ORIGINAL For Sale ad from the forum member I purchased the car from for parts references and such at the bottom of this post! Here is the car as it currently sits. As you can see, I have started pulling parts off to clean up:
Front End
S50
how the suspension sits *wheels+tires for sale too*
Hartge exhaust, sounds brilliant
Side view *moldings have been pulled, still for sale*
Rear end shot
Intake parts (had to remove to get to headlights)
Wide grill+black kidneys
ellipsoids
M5 front bumper
M5 rear bumper

Hey guys, I'm selling my amazing Touring. Fantastic car built by some legit guys, Jack (JaxS50), Tim (VacMan) and Saliya (euromcars). Here is a copy of my CL ad.
1995 BMW 525i Touring. 200K on chassis. Low mileage engine and 5 speed manual transmission out of an E36 M3. Just about everything mechanically is new. Drives, starts, brakes, like a brand new car. The perfect mix of performance, utility, reliability and economy. I genuinely hate to sell it but my finances force me to. Southern California car it's entire life until this year. Built with no expenses by some of the most knowledgeable people in the BMW community.
- 1995 E36 M3 Modified S50 Engine
- Ported and polished heads
- Titanium Retainers
- EURO E36 M3 3.5inch HFM with 21 LBS Injectors Turner Chip
- Engine has under 50K miles, 20k since the head work
- It made 238 HP at the wheels through a Supersprint Header
- 5 Speed E36 M3 ZF Transmission 70k Miles
- Completely rebuilt driveshaft
- UUC light weight aluminum Flywheel and UUC Clutch
- Hartge cat-back exhaust
- Racing Dynamics Bilstein Sport Shocks with H & R Springs, all the upper mounts
- 3.23 Limited Slip Differential- Traction Control Removed
- 17 x 8 E34 M5 Wheels. I have a set of Turbine covers I'll throw in but they are missing center caps.
- AC blows COLD
- Braking system is completely new.
- E34 M5 Bumpers, front and rear
- HID headlight kit
- Everything works. The dual sunroofs function perfectly as do all of the hatch functions. All windows roll up and down quickly and smoothly. No funny electrical gremlins anywhere.
- JVC CD- MP3- IPod deck.
- etc etc
Nothing was spared during the build/ swap. Used parts were discarded and replaced with new OEM parts throughout. Even down to hoses and clamps. Meticulous receipts and notes included. Mechanically the car needs absolutely nothing.
- The factory M50 exhaust manifold and 200K mile catalytic converter and still in place. The car needs a good header and free flow cat. There is a LOT of power bottle-necked right there.
- The shadowline trim is cracking in a few places. Easy fix.
There is well over $10,000 invested in this car, plus a whole lot of man hours. Its as sorted of a driver as they come. I really wanted to finish the car but like I said, I just can't afford to. Hopefully the next owner can. $8,500 or a very near offer. Thanks,
Ryan

I have just begun the process of the part out, so I don't exactly have prices for each individual item lined up as I would like to try and keep everything in sets (i.e. both headlights together, M5 body kit as one piece, complete s50, etc) but I'm sure that won't happen. As of right now, the entire car is up for grabs as is or part by part. If you have a particular part or a question on the condition of something, please PM me and we can work it out from there
Thanks,
Parker
