M52 engine - came in bmw 328i and 528i after 1996 - that is..a 2.8 double vanos motor producing app 198hp
engine trans parts and swap can run from $2500 to $4500 depending whos doing it and cost of parts
takes about a week to 2 to complete if all parts are available
About the car:
color: delphin grey mettallic
interior: black leather stock recaro seats from 88 e30 m3
suspension: tein springs and bilstein sport shocks on front
stock shocks and lowering srings on rear (dont remember brand)
engine and trans: stock M52 from 98 3 series..with matching 5 speed trans
diff: stock 4:10 ratio removed and replaed with lower ratio for less torque and better
fuel economy...will get ratio..dont remember right now
exhaust: custom 2 1/4 tubing with magnaflow high flow cat and dual muffler
wheels and tires: stock 14 inch BBS with new rubbers less than 200 miles
additional info: all the gauges/lighting/signals/brake/park/fog lights work
USEFULL INFO:
The car starts one click..idles smoothly..the exhaust is raspy and sreams at wide open throttle. the swap was done by myself and 2 other friends and has since been driven
less than 1000 miles..to date..no issues. The car can be registered historic in MD and if done will not require emmissions nor state inspection. The car is very reliable and
can be used as a daily driver. i have taken this car to an amazing top speed of 130 mph..backed off it ...but it begged for more. you can slow down in 3rd gear to 20 mph and
hit the gas pedal and it will climb quickly without stumble or hesitation to 80 mph
COSMETIC ISSUES:
the front fenders have been crinked a little and so is the front hood. I have the replacemnt parts that will be included in the sale. The paint is 22 years old..looks good..
but not like it did 22 years ago. some rust on rear..not too much..just opposite the muffler.
I have tried at best to describe the car as accurately as i can..somestuff might be left out...if serious about buying contact me via text or calls only..hardly online to check
emails.
