I'm really curious to see what s50 318 brings in now. By many measure it doesn't look to be as well-sorted as the 325. No 5-lug, odd color combo, only a partial repaint, basic steering wheel, nothing special about the suspension, and the list goes on.

I'd be surprised if it went for less than 15k though, if nothing else because the swap looks ok and the only rust appears to have not spread to body panels or frame rails.

Looking back at it now I kinda wish my E30 hadn't been a track car and instead had been a full interior street car. I love E30s but not enough to pay 15-25k for an s50 swap.

I appreciate the talent involved in the homemade manifold but when making or changing something there must always be a clear-cut problem to solve, and I do not see what problem is trying to be solved here.

I have a hard time believing this will come close to performing as well as the stock crab. The turbulence and potential for uneven distribution of flow to each cylinder could be disastrous with boost.

^^^ That.

But also...

Who turbos an e? These kids that want their car to make boost noises, but don't care if it goes faster...

i like how the ad says "needs nothing except the new ecu wired in". So basically the car isn't even fucking tuned yet and is even more likely to grenade being completely unproven that it will even fire up correctly.

^^^^That x3. So why get that close/far along in the build and then walk away? Out of time, $$$, family push back, come to senses that something is horribly wrong and better to walk away before it grenades, or.... ?

I wanted to get it for 1500$ At that price I would borrow my neighbors trailer and drive 4 hours right now to pick it up.
The lowest he said he would go is 2000$ still not a bad price. Just not enough of a deal for me to drive 8 hrs in total to get. Comes with style 5s. Offer him 1900. I bet you can get it!

Here ya go. Grab it

Hmm. He never got back to me at my orginal offer. I decided to throw more money at my current car.

Cheap trunk impaired. If I had the funds, and didnt have two other project cars taking up all my space, I would scoop it up.
