1997 "332ti" For Sale / Part Out

[Hawkster]

I've got a '97 318ti with a '98 M3 S52 engine w/ ZF 5-speed trans. Exterior is white, with black roof, customer boser hood w/ black stripe, ASA JH8 rims polished lip with bronze painted spokes. M3 front bumper, stock sideskirts and rear bumper. Interior was gray, but I dyed the dash, console, and door panels black. Seats are still dove gray (cloth). The interior is not pretty... there are scratches in the dye, but the panels themselves are in good shape. Carpet is an OEM black carpet removed from a junkyard car, it has 2 cuts where the dash supports mount to the trans tunnel from whatever genius pulled it out; As long as the carpet sits flat when you install it, you'll never notice the cuts. Headliner is oem but has been recovered in a black microfiber-ish material. Shift and e-brake boots are oem, but have been dyed Ferrari "Saddle" in color... a nice deep tan.

Engine has been maintained religiously since I've owned it (the past 70k miles). Mobil 1 oil changes every 5k. New NGK plugs, plug boots, V/C gasket, cam sensor, intake gaskets, injector seals. All installed at 155k.

Engine and trans have ~162k
Body has ~215k

Engine with trans I'm looking for $3500.
Shoot me offers on the rest. Pics on request.

NOTE: I need to sell the engine and trans so I can buy a 4 door family car (baby due July 30th). Nothing else will be parted out until the drivetrain is sold!

Steve.

P.S. Doors are black in color... they were replaced because the window tracks on the original doors broke off at the welds. I never got around to painting them.

P.P.S. Car runs, but does not pass inspection because of the lack of an air pump, and the evap pressure sensor is not wired. You can buy the car outright for $5000. It is more than reliable; I drive it 300 miles a week to and from work.

It probably got lost due to the "database back-up issue." I knew this car seemed familiar, I guess I saw your thread.

Ugh, if only I had the money.

Are those stickers on the hood or painted. Is the hood carbon fiber? What size rims/wheels.

The two on the hood are indeed stickers... I can remove them if the buyer would like. The rims are 17x8 ASA JH8's. The hood is all steel. I custom made the boser hood. Took about 25 hours from prep to clear coat.

What's up buuuuddy? Haven't heard from you in a while... how was school this year? If it makes you feel any better, I'm having second thoughts about selling the car. Everyone is trying to talk me out of it, and I may be getting a cheap and/or free Nissan Xterra. If I do, I'll probably keep it. The baby is due in 3 weeks, and money is tight, so we'll see what needs to change. I really would love to keep it.

Anyway, we should meet up again sometime soon... hit me up, number is the same.

Sounds awesome man... I really hope you keep it. It has more parts from my old car than anyone else's. It's like the reincarnation. If you keep it, you gotta start Autocrossing with my dad and I. You might be getting a cheap AND a free Xterra? That would be awesome. I didn't even realize you two were going to have a kid now... but that's great man! Congrats! Can't wait to see your new kid-- make sure he learns how to work on BMW's too. Speaking of which, if you need some cash-- I have a little body work I need done (I think you might have seen it- a little rust around the fenders, and I need to get my fenders rolled too). If you can do the non-paint stuff and just prime it I can get it painted elsewhere. Anyway, I'll give you a call soon. I was trying to get my dad to buy your car. He (maybe seriously?) suggested he trade his 1995 MB E320 for your car... lol.
