914's are neat. 70-71 models are a pain to get parts for.

LS swap, coilovers, and some flared fenders and that things could be an auto-x monster.

I honestly don't even know much about them. I saved a couple searches on ebay about 10 years ago, and never deleted them. (relatively)Recently it started popping up results from those searches when I go to the homepage. I threw in a $2000 bid when it was at $500 because why not. Makes my Tuesday evening a little more interesting. Of course now it's at $11,000 and I've lost all interest. Such is the life of a hipster wannabe.

This seems like a good place to say hello again after joining once, saying hello, and then disappearing.
welcome (back) to here.

Hoping to pick this up at an auction on Saturday for cheap. It's an "M converted" 93 325i coupe that looks like at one time it was a pretty nice car. It has M door sills, bump trim on the doors, bumpers, steering wheel, etc. It has a bottom mount turbo of unknown quality/size, tubular style exhaust manifold rather than cast which seemed interesting. and quite a lot of janky fender stretching in back. Complete with all the essential stickers on the back window such as "illest", "lowislife", "euro trash", "Stanceworks" etc.
I am not sure if the engine is original or not, the car is a '93 but the engine has vanos. I don't know what month they started with that. I think the injectors had green tops. It still had a MAF, and some weird relief valve on the intake piping. It looks to me like the hardware got installed and never quite go to the tuning stage.
How much would you pay?
-
$4k sounds like a reasonable price.

Yea, not paying near that much, it's held together with zip ties and it supposedly runs but it might be junk. The fenders appear to have been rolled with a channel lock pliers to avoid rub after sawzalling the springs... I think max I would pay is 700.

Assuming its a running turbo m50 car with a manual and proper tuning platform (TRM chip/aftermarket ECU) Id feel really good getting it for anything less than $4000
$4k sounds like a reasonable price.
Thank you for giving me hope that my car is worth something.
