Well I need to pair down on projects and have decided to try and sell it whole before parting out.
Car is currently running, but needs some minor odds and ends and it does not idle very well. Pretty sure it needs fresh gas and keeps throwing a cam sensor code even with a new cam sensor, needs a rear exhaust made up to the obd2 midpipes. Has low mileage front right strut and ABS sensor, but keeps throwing the ABS sensor.
The car itself is a 1998 318ti Base with body colored bumpers. It's not in the greatest shape with some body issues, but still very usable. The drivers side fender is dented to hell, the passenger fender has some rust bubbling through it and the passenger door has a massive scratch/ding in it. Otherwise its straight and rust free, and anyone wishing to inspect it on my lift is free to do so. Unfortunately the interior is not so robust and is somewhat falling apart so that will need to be dealt with.
I picked up and parted out a '98 328i 4dr Avus with 195K Miles, which is where the engine and transmission came from. The car cold compression tested at 220-230psi at all cylinders so is very healthy. I am also going to tack weld the oil pump nut. Here is a breakdown of what is included:
- Chassis/Suspension has 128K
- M52B28 w/ 195K Miles, Cold compression @ 220-230psi at all cylinders
- Matching M52B28 DME, EWS Box & Key Chip
- ZF320 w/ 210K, shifts well, but has hangs to towards 5th gear like many high mileage ZF320's, complete with all shift linkage and bolts
- All incendiaries for M52B28 and a few extras
- M52 P/S Lines and A/C Lines
- M52 A/C Compressor
- S52 Metal Oil Filter Housing (so you can use the same oil filters as the M50/S50)
- S52 P/S Pump
- S52 Cams, installed and around 100K miles, bearing surfaces were polished
- S52 Flywheel & Clutch Setup with 90K
- M52 Flywheel & Clutch setup with 195K
- 4-bolt driveshaft
- 3.25LSD, unknown miles, but ran it in my e30 for a while and was quiet and locked well
- E30 diff cover and output flanges, Ti output flanges (if you want to use E30 axles you can do so)
- Technica Tune for M52 w/ S52 cams and EWS/Air pump delete
- Exhaust flanges with 12" of pipe from 328i rear exhaust, was going to get a Y-pipe and make a 2.5" exhaust from the catback section
- 328i Gauge Cluster
New Parts Installed: - Valve Cover Gasket Kit
- Oil Pan Gasket
- Complete shifter rebuild kit (circlips, washers, ball cup, shift joint, etc.)
- Oil Filter Gasket
- Intake Manifold Gaskets
- Various hose clamps
- Various cooing/vacuum hoses
- Non-ASC Intake Boot
- Metal Water Pump
- 88deg Thermostat
- Aluminum Thermo Housing
- Thermo housing gasket
- M3 Slave Cylinder
- Cam sensor
Issues: - I have the clean MA title from the P.O. that is signed over to myself along with a bill of sale assigned to myself. CT uses a Q1 form to transfer the title to another party if it is already filled out on the back, along with another bill of sale which I will provide you.
- Exhaust needs to be finished
- Cam sensor code
- Interior issues (sunroof headliner, A-pillar headliner, door panels pulling up, radio surround/center console cracked)
- Exterior issues (dents, dings, scratches)
I'm sure that I've forgotten a few things, but thats mostly everything.
I'm asking $1500 for everything. You could part this out and get more, but I just don't want the hassle of it and need to focus on other projects. Excuse the crappy pics.
