S52-Powered 1998 BMW 318ti M-Sport
 
For sale is my 1998 S52-swapped 318ti M-Sport. Wanted to offer this here on the forum before posting to FB, BaT, etc. Bought the car in 2014 when it was still fitted with an M44 and a Downing Atlanta Supercharger. Have since swapped in the engine and trans from a 1999 E36 M3 donor car. Swap was professionally done by a shop here in Michigan (Autocore) that is well known in local BMW/SCCA/NASA circles. Has been a great project but I am looking for something new after 6+ years with the car and a new (to me) ZHP sedan sitting in the garage.

- Scratch on driver's side door, two scratches on rear bumper, some chips etc on front end / hood, pictures available upon request

After typing all that up I kind of want to keep it but ... time to find a new owner for this 332ti. I built this to be a weekend / HPDE car but ended up with so much in it that it's remained just a fun street car. If I had it to do all over again I might have gone with Konis, had the battery mounted in the rear, and installed a rear trailing arm camber/toe adjustment kit but those will be good projects for the next owner. It's been a great car and would love for it to end up with someone from the forum.

Asking $9k OBO.

Wouldn't let me PM you either. Said you might have it turned off?

No accident or repaint history. Only paint issue / change is underhood on the passenger-side shock tower where the secondary air pump bracket has been removed and we put down some primer / sealer.

TISA 11-17-2020 02:03 AM

Ok, thanks on the paint history. Let me ck why pm isn’t working. Would like to speak by phone.....

Godspeed!

You need a certain amount of posts to receive PMs.

Beautiful car! This would do well on BAT.

What did you do with the DASC?

stevenwrichards 11-19-2020 03:57 AM

Pretty sure I sold it to someone on here to pay for the M3 donor car.

The car presents very well and is identical in many ways to my swapped ti. I swapped out the red-mill point interior to my Schwartz ti and put in the boa boa interior I got from Miss Kitty on the swapped Arctic Silver car. I have DS1 wheels and a Z3 rear end. Everything else looks very similar.

IMHO the price is very fair considering the swap and condition of the car.

Good luck with the sale and to any potential buyers.

Cosmos99 02-23-2021 08:12 PM

Steve I got your email. It was in my spam folder. I sent a reply so if you don't see it check your spam folder too.
