That's the sad news.

The happy news is that I found a '98 M coupe locally with a blown motor for 5k and I talked the guy down to $4200 cash. I'm keeping my S52 which will eventually find it's way into the M coupe.

Before you guys freak out, I'll start by saying that the guy who bought my Ti is already a member on this site. He has plans to drop an M52 in it, so the west coast will have yet another swapped Ti rolling around. The M coupe is gorgeous! Interior is flawless and there's only one spot on the passenger front fender that has some damage from the 17x10 CCW's rubbing. It's black on black and only has 114k miles on the chassis. As mentioned before, the motor will need swapped, but I already have the S52 built up and ready to drop in.

I'll still check in on you guys from time to time. Probably daily just to help the community and answer questions. Besides that, I didn't stray too far off the path. Afterall, a swapped Ti is just a wannabe M coupe hiding in an e36 body. I know, I know, the M coupe is an e36 yada yada, but you guys know if you had the opportunity you'd do the same thing, so don't be hatin

WTF?!!!! REALLY JESS!?
dude, i'm gonna have to question our friendship on this one. wtf is wrong with you? all that hard work? ugh... whateves dude. your car, hope you're happy with your decision. you better hook me up on the left over parts then.
