Parting out my m50 swap from my e30. Swapped it in about 3 years back, daily drove it for a number of years until I bought a newer car. Engine has always ran strong and has solid compression numbers, has around 150k miles. What you will be getting with this swap: e34 m50 oil pan e34 m50 throttle cable rebuilt alternator rebuilt starter new valve cover gasket + spark plugs new intake manifold and throttle body gaskets super sprint knockoff headers 15lb chromoly flywheel new sachs pressure plate + new f1 racing 5 puck sprung clutch getrag 250 tranny with uuc delrin shifter bushings and new guibo e28 engine mounts modified e21 brake booster plug and play harness adapter dual exhaust fabbed up by mufflerman solid mount shifter with dssr Exhaust is currently kind of loud so I bought a vibrant y pipe and muffler to merge into a 2.5 single vs the current dual pipe setup i have now, also will be included Engine is currently in my e30, however car is not on the road. Asking $1300, call or text 716- 239-6780. Once I receive payment, engine will be removed the same day and given to buyer. ![http://images.craigslist.org/3t23I93sd5G35s65J8d6r843139aac541175e.jpg](http://images.craigslist.org/3t23I93sd5G35s65J8d6r843139aac541175e.jpg) ![http://images.craigslist.org/3Gd3If3q45Ga5r25F3d6r5fa9cbe3aff110b1.jpg](http://images.craigslist.org/3Gd3If3q45Ga5r25F3d6r5fa9cbe3aff110b1.jpg) ![http://oi44.tinypic.com/i1xstw.jpg](http://oi44.tinypic.com/i1xstw.jpg) ---

Cars not in the best of shape. Paints kind of rough, and the rear battery tray/inner wheel well is rotted. I’m pretty sure nobody would want it the way it is now, unless they wanted a parts car. I’m slowly working on it right now since I haven’t had any luck with a getting a shell and since I started my new job I’ve had less motivation to mess with rusty cars. If somebody wanted the whole car to use for parts, I’d sell it all if the price is right since it has some good parts, and move to a new platform, ---------- Post added at 06:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:51 PM ---------- However I have a hunch I’ll end up fixing the rust, the engine won’t sell, and I’ll somehow get my motivation back and just boost it ---

I’m on Grand Island. Trust me, the only thing this car is good for is drifting into shit. Frame and structural stuff is solid, exterior is ugly. Car is a plastic bumper model with smoked euro smilies, mtech 1 steering wheel, 4.10 lsd, nylon rtabs, subframe bushings, and diff bushing. Solid motor and trans mounts from uhmw. Brand new lemfoerder control arms, solid delrin bimmerworld offset fcabs, bilstein bts shock/spring combo. All new brakes front back (calipers, rotors, pads, braided lines). $2000 as the car sits now firm. Cobra Imola seat, harness, and hydro ebrake not included. Also have a set of bbs rm 15x9, literally brand new 3 inch polished lips from tunershop, includes all bolts and and hexcaps. Barrels are straight and true, no gouges or curbage They were media blasted recently so they’re pretty clean, barrels were masked and centers painted. Came out like shit so they should be probably be stripped and redone, just the centers. Prep them and paint them w/e way you want. There is a dude coming up from Rochester on Monday but if he doesn’t take them I’ll make a new thread, $1000 firm. ---

Bump bbs wheels are no longer available, managed to make some solid progress on a new battery tray so I think for now I’ll limit myself to only selling the m50 related stuff. ---

Trying hard to finding a m60/5speed combo but not having much luck. Also considering jz’s since I found a guy that just started making jz to zf adapters and apparently the m/s5x share the same flywheel bolt patterns as jz’s, just need the adapter and a spacer to bolt it up. ---

I’m working on an M62/5 speed swap into my E30 as well. I’ll share notes with you if you want as I make progress. ---
