FS: 1989 325i M30 swapped.

[totheredline]

****NOT SELLING**** opted to keep my car, sell the drivetrain and put a stock m20 drivetrain back in it.

Having a hard time selling just my drivetrain setup so I figured I'd see if there was any interest in my whole car.

I would be very interested in a partial trade for a decent E30 that I could daily for a while.

My ad for the swap itself can be seen here

https://norfolk.craigslist.org/pts/5485503614.html

The car is heavily modified with a fully built M30B34/B35 hybrid engine. It's fast enough to get in serious trouble very easily. Been on multiple road trips with it and its very reliable although i cant say it gets very good gas mileage. Lol

The car was originally a 1989 325i automatic coupe.
Recent repaint. Has a couple scratches but they aren't noticeable.
Full interior but all sound deadening removed. Cardinal door cards with black sport seats. Passenger seat bolsters are ripped at the seams but drivers seat is decent.
Crank Windows and sunroof.
ABS delete
Check system delete.
All unneded wiring romoved and re-wrapped.

Fully built suspension with condor UMHV m3 offset control arm bushings, ST front bar, convertible rear bar, new lemforder control arms, manual steering rack from a Z4, poly trailing arm bushings on bilstein BTS kit shocks and springs with e90 front drop hats. Weichers front strut brace and a rear strut brace made from a guy on here.

BMW style 10 wheels with newish tires. (I actually just bought them not too long ago but M30 likes to spin tires and do burnouts sooooo)


Rebuilt calipers with braided brake lines, new pads and vented/ drilled rotors

Exterior is mostly stock besides hella clear turn signals and manual DTM mirrors.

Interesting swap. Definitely goes against the grain. Misread Craig's list ad. Thought that price was for whole car. Almost booked a flight until I realized price was for engine only. GLWS

Damn, I'd hate to see the whole car go. You might have better luck with the engine if you post it on a 5 series forum.

It's on my e28. I've had a lot of interest but nobody actaully wants to buy it. Oh and since youre local, look out for m20s and m42s for me please ;)

I know a guy up in richmond selling a complete M42 drivetrain in favor for a M50 stroker swap. I know it runs and drives and I think he was asking around $600, but not 100% sure. He goes to school down here too. I'd offer up my M20 out of the 325i, but my engine swap is the very last thing on my to do list.
