For trade- Looking for EK or EG, swapped or boosted, or a integra. In reality I just need something that gets better gas mileage, I'm having to commute a ton now for my internship/school, so this isn't really helping my situation.
WIll sell if i get a decent cash offer. or stock car + cash.
It is a 1993 325i that was converted to M3 spec - motor, tranny, diff, suspension (different than non-m e36's), brakes, interior, exterior. Details and mods are
below.
Body just rolled 125k miles, and the m3 swap & etc just rolled about 88k.
I've got receipts for several repairs (clutch, cooling system, bushings, etc).
Engine:
1998 s52 motor (m3 motor, converted to OBD1)
short ram intake
Dinan stage 1 software
Dinan cat-back exhaust
New water pump (metal impeller) - entire cooling system redone (#1 bmw problem)
Fan-delete mod with electric fan
New Carquest battery
Drivetrain:
1998 M3 5-speed transmission
3.23 LSD (off 98 m3)
UUC Motorwerks aluminum lightweight flywheel
UUC Motorwerks organic M5 clutch
UUC Motorwerks Evo 3 short-shifter and DSSR
Suspension:
M3 suspension and subframe
m3 X-brace
Lowered with H&R springs
replaced Rear shock mounts
powerflex RTAB's
Exterior:
M3 front and rear bumpers
OEM BMW license plate delete (not pictured)
OEM M3 lip (not pictured)
M3 mirrors
Carbon-fiber splitters
6% tint all around
Projector36 HIDs with Angel Eyes
LED tail lights
M3 LTW wheels
Toyo Proxes tires (75% tread)
Interior:
M3 luxury seats (front and rear)
Black headliner
illuminated M3 shift ****
Audio/Electrical:
Harman Kardon Traffic Pro headunit with GPS(actual BMW model, not Becker)
MB Quart front and rear speakers (6x9 in the rear)
Ungo keyless entry/alarm with remote notification
Car will be getting brand new EBC green stuff pads & Brembo Blank rotors sometime in the near future when I have time to do the brake job. Also the car will be getting aligned soon as well. Might also be getting it dyno'd this upcoming weekend at The Mustang Shop dyno day as well. power figure should be about 220-230rwhp.
Bad: the person that did the alarm did a hack job on it, and the windows don't work when the doors are closed sometime, i recently just pulled a new dash harness (uncut, fresh, etc) off another sedan, and might throw it in (time permitting of course), but regardless it will be included, and doesnt affect driveability what so ever. as for now, i have unplugged the fuses from the alarm so the hacked harness doesn't harm anything.
Also, the black headliner sags a little bit (very common e36 problem)

if i don't get any offers or trade offers, i'm just going to find a e36 coupe shell or a e30 shell and swap my entire drivetrain over. just because aero parts look cooler on those cars. hahaha
