Default 1996 325 Ti

Hello all! I am Alex from the FL panhandle. I just bought my first 318Ti, it has an entire drivetrain from a 325is swapped into it. It's lowered on H&R Springs (I think), 328is split 5 spoke wheels, and has an ansa exhaust. I paid $1300 for it, and I plan on daily driving it for a while before setting it up for SM autox/HDPE events.

The few things that are wrong with it... needs a slave cylinder, a rearview mirror, and the power windows won't roll down.

I am looking forward to talking to you all as I work on her!

thats a damn good price for a swap. im not going to jump the gun and say its a uncommon swap, but i dont see that often, this is actually the first 315 swap ive seen. and as far as your problems you can find the parts and/or solutions on here. welcome to the org.
