Of course if you were closer to Cali this could be a good option: https://losangeles.craigslist.org/la...027331702.html __________________ ***328ti Build thread. *** Even more important: SUPPORT 318ti.org!

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk | yobayn, Your car fails on two of my "must haves", and I honestly don't think I can swap a sport interior, manual transmission, M50/M52 or S50/S52 swap, cruise control, and a M tech rear bumper for $3500. And I also previously stated I do not want to swap an interior, as that is actually more difficult than an engine or transmission swap unless you have a fully complete sport interior car as a donor. | | | 03-31-2017, 11:57 PM | #34 | Junior Member Join Date: Apr 2016 Location: Elkhorn, WI Posts: 22 | Quote: Originally Posted by anassa | That example in LA is missing the sport interior and M tech rear bumper.

This would make a good swap candidate for someone though, but not me probably. | | | 03-31-2017, 11:58 PM | #35 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2011 Location: SoCal Posts: 702 | Quote: Originally Posted by jcrane82 yobayn, Your car fails on two of my "must haves", and I honestly don't think I can swap a sport interior, manual transmission, M50/M52 or S50/S52 swap, cruise control, and a M tech rear bumper for $3500.

You will be happy when you eventually get it together! It will be hard to be patient though, but when you get it, if its what you wanted it will be worth it. Good luck.

Either way getting the VIN to look it up would be the smart thing for whoever would be interested. __________________ ***328ti Build thread. *** Even more important: SUPPORT 318ti.org!

Basically it doesn't meet the criteria It is always best to start off within the criteria set and then work from it instead of what he would have to do to your car just to meet the basics. It doesn't make sense. That being said, it does seem like a clean 5spd 318ti sport is harder to find then I imaged. __________________ ***328ti Build thread. *** Even more important: SUPPORT 318ti.org!
