Edit:

Okay, I just got in touch with the prospective buyer for the ti, and unfortunately, finances aren't working out for him. Since I was anticipating the car going, I'm willing to move down to my bare minimum on price for a quick sale. If you're seriously interested, call me! If you're not comfortable calling, email me. I'll be quick to respond, and I'll offer you the absolutely best deal possible on a car of this caliber.

This is a beautiful machine. What once started as a 1995 318ti is now a stealthy black sleeper. The guy who originally did the swap ran a 13.1 quarter mile. I'm only selling it because the hatchback doesn't suit my lifestyle. I've poured a TON of work into redoing this car the RIGHT way. The engine head was just rebuilt.

Basically the original owner didn't to a fantastic job putting this together well, and I've basically started over and done things right with the help of my buddies at the local BMW dealership, and some fellow enthusiasts.

I had the vehicle appraised BEFORE doing all the work I've done to it, and he valued it at $12k as it was, and $14k if I fixed it up to the extent to which I planned.

This car will be amazing on the track and is a great sleeper on the street. Here is what hides within' this M Powered ti.

Drivetrain:
1998 M3 3.2L Inline six motor
OBD1 conversion (injectors, fuel rail, intake manifold, euro HFM, cold air intake)
Custom Tuning by AA in Florida
Aftermarket cams (not sure which, but incredible power up to 7200rpm!)
Fan Delete with high flow electric fan
New OEM Headgasket, and all other engine-related gaskets (1k miles ago)
Rouge Engineering Short Shift Kit
Stage 3 Clutch (this is what I was told by the guy from whom I bought the car. It feels GREAT on the strip, and at autox)
TMS LTW Flywheel (FAST revs but no chatter!)
5-speed manual transmission
3.25 gear ratio Limited Slip Differential
Catalitic Converter Delete
B&B Triflo Exhaust System for e36 M3

Suspension:
BMW Factory X-Brace
M3 front suspension conversion
Bilstein Sport Shocks and Struts
Racing Dynamics Springs
Racing Dynamics front sway bar
Rear Subframe Reinforcements
AA Rear Strut Brace
Rotora (AA Rep) Front Strut Brace
Green Eyeball (Solid) Front Control Arm Bushings

Brakes:
M3 Front Brakes and Spindles
Brembo Slotted Rotors all around
Green Stuff Brake Pads all around
Stainless Steel Braided Brake Lines

Interior:
Momo RSGT Racing Seats
Sparco Red 4 pt Racing Harnesses
Momo Evo Steering wheels (I LOVE this thing!)
M3 Cluster with Carbon Fibre Overlay
AC Schnitzer... Door Jamb... bottom...step... things
AC Schnitzer Shift Knob
AC Schnitzer Pedals
Rear Battery Mount w/battery box (bolted in for a secure "trunk" mount)
Rear Batter is an Optima Red Top (best one money can buy)
Sony MP3CD Player

Exterior:
M3 Front Bumper
M3 Twist Sideskirts
M3 Side View Mirrors (power heated)
European Clear lighting all around
5% Tint all around (none on windshield)
17" BMW Doublespoke 2's (staggered)

Needs:
I pulled out the interior behind the front seats. The entire front half of the car has the full interior except the door panels. The reason it's missing interior is because I don't like the tan, and it's in mediocre shape. I have contacts for a black M3 sedan dash and a black ti interior for great deals if ou decide to buy this car. I will include the interior pieces that I removed.

It also needs headlights. Previous owner put in 2002 M3 bixenon projectors, but they're stuck in high beam mode, blinding everyone. All things considered, a minor investment.

Why this car will blow you away:
Drive it. You'll understand very... very quickly.

I'm asking a very fair $10,500, and I've invested WELL over that in these last few months. If I cannot get a solid offer, I will part the ti and swap the motor into something that more closely suits my preferences. You don't want to miss this opportunity...

For what it's worth, I have over 3,500 posts on bimmerforums.com. Here's what a few people from there have said about me and my car:

I was going to swap my Ti but seeing this makes me just want to buy yours. It seems alot more easy and much cheaper. Ill see what kind of money i can get together and then ill throw an offer at you good luck with the sale and bump for a fellow TI

Thats such a clean TI. If it was in CA, and previously passed emissions, Id take out a loan, rob a bank, or something to get that. Very very nice clean ride.

hey if this is still 4 sale in april my friend would buy it.

Bump for a ti with a lot of potential.

I am married now, so the wife would say no no to this.

But if you are reading this and not married yet (even better, single), pick it up! You are only young once, drive a fast car when it is still responsible to do so. ;)

Bump.

Evan is a solid guy, and probalby is one of the nicest, most "ready to learn" guys on here that I have met.

He is a renaissance man with these e36's. He does good work.
Good luck with teh sale.

Ive ridden in this car in its current state. It is loud, and very fast. I know it would pull on my 332i, if we had ever run them. All it really needs is to have the interior put back together, and would be a solid daily driver or track car.

Well I didnt get enough money....the only way for me to afford this car would be to not go to school and i dont think the parents would like that..

Damnit why do all the good deals have to be so far away.

if i had more money i would be taking a very small drive down to Iowa from here in MN. good luck to yas

Here's a free bump.

I bought my current e34 from Evan ('92 525) and it's still running strong. In fact, I ended up buying the car the very same night I saw it for the first time. Just wanted to post to say that this guy takes EXTREMELY good care of his cars and I wouldn't hesitate to buy one from him again. Heck, he even detailed the engine bay before he sold it. Now that's dedication!

Oh, Evan, the car's still running strong. I've taken it all over the US. Just pushed the odo past 200,000 miles! Ha!

Good morning, America!

Final Bump!

Where are you located?

[Ahheck01]

Where are you located?

I'm located in Iowa, but willing to meet halfway with a commited buyer. FWIW, I have one gentleman in FL who wanted to buy it but had insurance issues. He was going to fly here and drive it back (which it will do just fine!).

Email me if interested! Ideally, I'd like to meet the buyer on the 8th, as I'm going to meet the owner of my next car the following weekend.

-Evan

PS: I'm putting the interior back in, as that seems to be the only issue prospective buyers have had. Asking price is 10,200 OBO!

-Evan

[Ahheck01]

I just sent this email to all interested buyers:


A few updates, since you were interested:

1) I need to have the car sold by the 11th at the latest!

2) In order to make sure that happens, I've dropped my asking price to below what I owe on it - to only 9980.

3) I'm installing interior, since having the interior out of the car was the only turnoff to prospective buyers.

Let me know if you're interested!

Thanks,

-Evan

dude this car is sex i want it, will you do any trades?

I would consider trades for either an e36 M3 or an e46 330ci. I'm glad you like the car! If you don't have one of those two, you should sell your car and buy mine! Hurry, though, because I have another gentleman trying to do the same thing at the moment :)

did you use the 98 wiring harness ?

[Ahheck01]

did you use the 98 wiring harness ?

I did not do the original swap. The swap was done two owners ago, I just rebuilt it.

That said, it is a wiring harness from a 325 (OBD1), I believe. That's what the computers at the dealerships service kept telling us the car was.

Funny story - our service guy kept insisting that I had a 325 motor. I told him no, he's wrong. He was absolutely insisting on it. I handed him the keys, gave him five minutes, and he came back and apologized. :D

[Ahheck01]

Not only is it available, but I've just dropped the price through the floor for a quick sale! I'm asking 9780.

Since the owner of my next car is waiting on me, and thus I really need this to go quickly, I'll let someone steal it if they can offer 9500 cash by this weekend!

Email me at ehackart@gmail.com asap!
