1996 BMW 332Ti for sale. $12,000
Car is in Cedar Rapids, Iowa--but it has never seen snow.
This car was built by a BMW shop in Jacksonville, Florida, in 2004. They took a 1996 318Ti and installed all the mechanical parts from a 1997 M3—engine, transmission, suspension, brakes and instrument panel. They also installed a 1999 M Coupe 3.25:1 LSD and axles.
At the same time, they installed a host of brand new parts. Essentially, they completely rebuilt the car to almost-new condition in 2004. The build sheet lists $10,610 in new parts and labor--not including the engine, trans and other parts from the donor M3.
The car was repainted because the paint had faded from the Florida sun.
Here’s a video of it in action:
