That engine bay looks like it was used as the canister for a shop vac

the m44 IS a shop vac, so, perfectly normal.

That's a very tidy car for the price. If I had room for a car so I could sell the coupe, I would go get that in a heartbeat.

Mike what are you waiting for

[m42b32]

Wow, that's a really nice car for the price

[HipMF]

sunroof

auto

grey interior

bad color IMO

thats 4, so subtract  $2000 from the price and I'll buy it.

[Earl]

lol

This is what the color actually looks like by the way

[Earl]

Also have fun finding a slick top. They're very few and far between. You're basically looking for a unicorn right now haha

I know, but I've had too many cars now that I bought because they seemed like a good idea, or a good value... This time I'm getting something that I actually want.

Trans and interior can be swapped, so it's the sunroof that's the biggest problem... although swapping interiors doesn't really sound like a fun weekend to me either...

Re unicorns here you go: s52 swapped 318ti slicktop:  http://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/cto/5934302815.html

Direct flights to Atlanta are cheap...

Interior swaps are a piece of cake lol. I can even help you do a dash as they're easy in compacts as well.

I've been thinking a lot about that one in atlanta...

"wife's track car"

did that actually work as an excuse so his wife would let him get another car for himself?

[Earl]

That seems like a very well sorted car=)

[HipMF]

Found a thread for the car here:

http://www.318ti.org/forum/showthread.php?t=28158

It was already swapped when he bought it in 2009. Looks like he's been daily driving it since then. Did the math and according to his estimate it looks like there's been 70k miles put on the drivetrain since it was swapped. Should be sorted pretty well by now I'd think...

[Earl]

If you find a motorless car the swap can be done in a weekend on an obd1 car if you find something like that=] I know of a slick top shell that is cheap but it isnt rust free

[HipMF]

All 318s are motorless

Has anyone seen the s50b32 on facebook for $8k?  Fuck me sideways!  This guy is nuts!  I get it, it's rare, we never got it, its a bespoke m engine, blah blah.  

[wasnt m3]

That's actually a pretty good price considering the proper 6 speed trans is included.

I get it but for fucks sake you can buy an s54 for half the price or just buy a euro e36 m3.

[wasnt m3]

As the old saying goes, there's an ass for every seat. It'd be cool to see this find it's way into an e30. I'm sure you know what euro spec e36's sell for here in the states. Anything decent is well over $20k.
