id pay 2k at most. I dont play well with wrecked cars. Sure it may have this and that, but looking from a "drive it now" point of view, it needs a decent amount of money thrown at it. Its worth more as a parts car to me. __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone

the dude is asking 4grand for it..the good thing is i have all the parts to fix it up..and the s52 swap and suspension will be going into the ti..if i end up buying it..i offered 2500 for it.. | | | | | 04-27-2010, 02:28 PM | #4 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Florida Posts: 2,525 |
If the suspension is original from an M3, it is probably shot after 10-15 years, so unless it is a recently bought aftermarket suspension, the suspension is worthless... 2-3k as a parts car at most, so your offer of 2500 probably isn't that bad. If you take want you want, throw away the trash, and sell some what's left, you'll probably walk away spending less than 2k for it.
The overall condition of the car looks pretty bad, and I would guess that the car was driven extremely hard, so I would be suspect of the motor condition as well. Altezza lights are a big turn off for me because I can pretty much guess that the owner is a boy street racer. | | | | | 04-27-2010, 03:06 PM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: nj Posts: 1,099 |

S52 does not, should not, and will not run with green injectors. It comes with pink.
Green injectors are from M50. 18# i believe, pink are 21# or 24# __________________ -Jeff

if i dont end up buying this car im also in the process of getting a vanos m50 from a convertible w less thank 100k. and got a good deal on a set off m3 cams and injectors.
by doing this what else might be required for it to run at its best...
and how much hp would be gained w the m3 cams?? | | | | | 04-27-2010, 07:27 PM | #13 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Raleigh/Charlotte, NC Posts: 1,233 |
Car was running with green tops, guarantee you it was out of adaptation and probably running lean. I would run far away.
by will not run, i mean will not run properly. __________________ -Jeff

those almost look like vader seats, but something there too seems a bit off... but its about the only nice thing i see in/ on the whole car, especially with the green M50 injectors...
also id say it would be more advisable to go for the M50 w/ the m3 cams and injectors... | | | | | |
