Default 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.



General:
- Factory M-Tech car with full ‘M’ bodykit and sunroof
- Arctic Silver (309) over Red Millpoint sport seats (D7RT)
- 184k on the chassis, 139k on the engine, roughly 3k miles since swap

Engine:
- S52 w/ Kassel Performance Tune ECU flash, VIN encoding, EQS, SAP delete
- VAC baffled oil pan
- S54 Z3 M Aluminum Radiator
- Canton aluminum expansion tank w/ Stant cap
- Samco coolant hoses
- Spal electric fan conversion
- Stewart high perf water pump
- Turner Underdrive Pulleys
- Stock M3 exhaust w/ 3.0L Z3 rear muffler

Drivetrain:
- ZF 5-Speed from donor car
- E46 M3 trans mount
- Replacement guibo
- 4 clutch BMW Motorsports 3.15 LSD (rebuilt w/ Thayer kit in 2016)
- E30 M3 axles

Chassis / Suspension:
- Front subframe reinforcement and rear sway reinforcement kits
- BMW X-brace from donor car
- Poly F/R subframe, F/R sway bar, offset front control arm, and rear trailing arm bushings
- Racing Dynamics front strut bar (notch cut into it from interference with DASC)
- E36 M3 swapped front strut mounts (running ~ 3 degrees negative camber up front)
- Bilstein Sports w/ stock M-Sport springs
- E46 ZHP steering rack w/ replacement Lemforder tie rods

Wheels/ Tires / Brakes:
- 16x8 ET23 Style 4 Wheels
- Continental ExtremeContact 225/50R16
- Vorshlag wheel studs
- E36 M3 front brake conversion w/ replacement calipers and brass guide bushings
- Stoptech Slotted rotors, street pads, SS brake lines, ATE 200 fluid

Exterior
- Black kidney grilles
- Black DTM style manual mirrors (stock power mirrors w/ peeling glass included in the sale)
- Recently replaced windshield / trim

Interior:
- M3 steering wheel and cluster from donor car
- Rogue shifter w/ replacement M3 shift knob
- Aftermarket Sony head unit w/ USB
- A/C delete (interfered w/ old front sway, bracket and compressor included in the sale)

Issues:
- ASC light on (don't believe there is a fix for this w/ the swap)
- CEL with P1188/1189 codes (been chasing this down for awhile but car runs just fine)
- Slight vibration through steering wheel between 55-65 mph
- Headliner sag (duh)
- Outside driver's seat bolster shows some wear (duh)
- 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.
