Bought this car off turbociv 3 years ago and its been my daily ever since. Last summer I put in a m50b25tu out of a 93 325i. I’ve been planning on picking up something else for a while now so I decided to put it for sale today. Actual car has about 220k miles on it, motor has about 160k Car itself has: bilstein BTS kit front and rear suspension (springs/shocks) 4.10 lsd rear diff billet rear shock mounts 2pc bbs rm’s e36 steering rack turbociv put in a new tank when he owned it In regards to the m50 swap: Motor has solid compressions across the board, ranged from 192-198psi, pulls like a champ 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 Bad Stuff: No carpet Door bottoms are rusting due to plugged drains Passenger and drive footwells have rot holes so floorpans will need some patching Passenger rear brake flex line started leaking today However all structural parts are solid, frame, jack points etc so If you’re half decent at welding, one weekends worth of work could fix 80% of the rust on this car. Asking price is $3000, which is basically what I paid for it when I first got it before I put in the m50 and all the assorted parts. If I don’t get the asking price I’ll just get to work on it after school is done this week and probably keep it and turn it into a sweet driftmobile.

this sounds like a better version of my E30M50 for less money than I’d take for mine… sounds like a great deal for somebody. ---

Sorry, no trades. In a nutshell, its very solid mechanically and the motor runs really strong, but the body could use some work which is why its priced the way it is. ---

> [@Coldaccord](#): > > very nice. I’d advise fixing that rubber line though prior to sale. ss lines are only like 100 a set. After taking a closer look, it would seems its one of the hardlines coming out of the tee-fitting thats to blame. Either way it’ll be fixed sometime next week. Got pics, will post when I get home tonight. ---

There is a lot of rust there man. I feel the price to be a bit optimistic, GLWS though. ---

It looks worse than it seems, the only real rot is where its obvious in the pics, everything else is pretty much just surface rust. If it doesn’t sell for my asking price I’ll just weld up the floor pans after schools finished and probably keep it. Judging by what other e30s are selling for, I think the price is fair for a m50 swapped e30 that has a solid frame. ---
