Up for sale to make room for pre-ordering a 21 c8 is a 1996 318ti m-sport with an s52 engine swap. This car was being set up for the track, here is the list of modifications and recent work:

1996 BMW 318ti
S52 OBD1 motor swap (96K miles) by Ren Reyes in Houston.
ZF320 5 speed
M3 fuel pump
Fresh New seals, hylomar on all gaskets, no leaks whatsoever.
Bilstien+HR front/rear
328 front brakes and rotor spindle
TRM tune
Aluminium radiator
Second cooling fan with on/off switch in the car
Metal water pump and gasket, new thermostat.
Z3 Torsen LSD 3.15
M20 axles
M3 cluster
M3 steering wheel (no airbag for lightness, have another wheel with airbag)

New lower control arm bushings
New tie rods
New guibo
New Belts
New OEM motor+tranny mounts

New parking brake cables
New Driver side M20 axle
New sunroof motor cover
New hazard light switch
New Headliner
New leather upholstery on the center console arm rest.


I'm sure I left something else off.

1 issue: ABS Sensor on the passenger side needs to be replaced, it was damaged during the axle and rotors install

The car has a very clean interior. Exterior is original paint so the front bumper and hood have rock chips. I was going to repaint the hood or get a carbon fiber one at some point. Other than that the paint is in great condition for a car this age.
Due to the M3 steering wheel with no airbag, the airbag light is on. I have a steering wheel with airbag that will come with the car, or alternatively the proper resister should you want to keep the M3 wheel and turn off the airbag light. The exhaust has a rattle under heavy load coming from the very rear, near the muffler. An exhaust shop can fix this or I may get to it before the sale.

I drive the car every day while my 438whp Infiniti Q50s sits in the garage, because it's just so much fun to drive. A/C blows cold, all windows and the sunroof work, so do both power mirrors. I drove this car from Houston to Dallas with no problems, its rock solid.

Asking $7800

Sweet Ti!

Thank you!

I've also replaced the lower radiator hose so no leak there anymore. I should probably update the OP and remove the two issues.

Looks like a great car
 

Great looking car. I’m interested. My number is 303-478-3004

I'll text you today. I've also identified the rsap, rattle actually, in the exhaust. So hopefully I'll get rid of that soon too, leaving the car with zero issues or concerns.

Still available? Interested with cash available to wire. Contact me at cfadigan@gmail.com Thank you.

I have someone coming to look at it tomorrow, but I'll send you an email now as well.

The car has been sold. Thank you all for your interest.
