PRICE DROPPED !
I started this project a year and a half ago. Unfortunately for this car a few months later I also picked up a 95M3 and this car went on the back burner. I already have a 95 ti with a 2.5l swap and I LOVE it. I drive it almost every day and it is a blast. I would love this little guy to go to a new home where he will be the star of the show.
The car is a 1998 M sport, Titanium silver with a black interior with a cali roof and heated sport seats. It was owned by a guy who beat on it hard. When I got it it had 152,230 miles the trans was slipping occasionally (auto) and the cali roof was broken. Clean NJ title.
I replaced the roof with an excellent condition used unit, replaced the front control arms (Mele HD and ploy bushings) and the rear shock mounts. I also replaced a headlight and some rub strips. I put on some nice AT Italia 17inch wheels with nice rubber. The car passed NJ inspection and does actually drive kind of (at least enough to get on a trailer)
I located a 97 328is 5 speed that had been totaled and pulled all the parts needed for an engine/trans swap. I prepped the engine by having the injectors cleaned, replaced the upper O2 sensors and a new clutch. I prepped the ZF 5speed by replacing the upper catch pins and the 5th gear and reverse detent pins (these tend to give problems on the ZF and require trans removal so this was the chance to fix them)
I think I have every thing you need for the swap.
Engine, Trans, pedal box, shifter, cluster, DME and manual harness, drive shaft, trans cross member, secondary air pump and exhaust (all from 1 car)
I have new parts also, engine mounts, guibo, center bearing, HD trans mounts, some new water hoses, new AC hose and dryer.
I would like to sell the whole package to 1 person. The car is solid and will clean up nice and will be a blast to drive when finished.
I would like to get 1200. for the car and 1800. for the swap kit.
Thats 3000. for the whole project!
[SOLD] I also have a new set of Bilstein PSS coilovers I bought for the project new in the box. If you buy this package you can have them for an additional 900. [SOLD]
