1997 318ti m50 swap
I have a alpine white 1997 bmw 318ti for sale, the original m44 has been swapped out for a m50tu, from a 1994 325i, it is paired to the original 5 speed transmission the cluster shows 240ish thousand miles but that is inaccurate as it has been replaced, the chassis is around that the motor is 180ish good- engine pulls strong all the way to 6500 without so much as a hiccup transmission shifts smoothly through all gears and reverse short throw shifter gives very positive shifter engagement, feels like a bolt action rifle under my ownership I've changed- oil pan gasket power steering reservoir and lines intake manifold gaskets spark plugs lower control arm bushings new nitto neo-gen tires oil and transmission fluid fuel filter, engine air and cabin filters rebuilt driveshaft with new guibo, carrier bearing, and hardware rebuilt fuel injectors new fuel pump re-did much of the wiring as far as aftermarket goes- the vehicle has a short throw shifter installed aluminium radiator open air intake bad- door panels are questionable, as always, dont hang off but arnt perfect headliner on sunroof portion is loose cracked windshield, doesnt impeded view but it's there slow power steering leak cosmetically it's a 10 footer, paint is good all around except hood clear coat is completely faded, looks matte, there is a small underbody dent on the passenger side, not structural and only noticable if you know what to look for no radio currently, I can include the one that came with the car but it's to deep to fit properly in the center control stack the previous owner dumped the exhaust, sounds great but is very loud car is a lot of fun and I daily drove it for about a year, but it's just sitting as it's my 3rd vehicle, any questions or need pictures let me know |
