who the hell is swapping e36 motors into other e36s when e30s exist?

[wasnt m3]

Or just pick up a Z3 or Z3M. Same shit, different pile as a ti. Just doesn't look as dumb (IMO). I may be biased owning a Z3M, but it is a blast!

Meanwhile, someone go lowball this guy and buy his swapped ti so I stop thinking about it:

I've been tempted by this one too, especially because it's white and appears to be a slicktop. Still, a $1500-2000 car with a $500 motor in it ain't really worth 4 grand...

Because compacts handle so well compared to e30's and normal e36's due to being a mash-up of the suspensions. You need to drive one and see haha

Sold for $7,600! That escalated quickly

[Earl]

To me that still sounds like a great deal but I have no sense of what cars like that are worth

[Bassboy3313]

Oh definitely. I think its still a great deal too!

Found a super clean 318is for a really good price! Ran the VIN and while it isn't a slicktop it has an LSD and a really nice cloth interior!

God I hate red.

But it is nice looking

[straight6pwr]

based on all the searching i did for e30s, that is a STEAL price right now. 2-3k under what most are asking for similar cars.

[m42b32]

If there weren't multiple people in my life who would just about chop off my head for buying another car, I'd already be contacting the seller haha. I just hope whoever buys it doesnt buy it to swap and beat the crap out of it

Saw that 318is as well and was wondering if it was anyone on here. Looks to be in good shape especially the interior and a good price for 138k in mileage. Aside from brakes wonder what other mechanicals are at issue (timing chain, guides, etc). KaiserRolls, if you don't care for red don't worry it'll fade.... oh wait

It is brilliantrot, you can see the label on the shock tower in the picture of the engine bay. But I'd be really sad if you parted it out. 

Buuuuut if you do....I got first dibs on the front and rear seats and door cards.
