Anyone interested in an n55 swapped TI?

Seems like a good deal to me.

This seemed to be built very well and documented thoroughly (there is a long youtube tutorial of the swap on this car) im surprised that the ad is so plain. Perhaps the car doesnt mean much to him  or he knows there are issues and isnt elaborating. That car would have to be a bit of a rocketship but no thanks to doing any repairs to it

Woah that's pretty wild. I'll admit I'm three pedal biased. Why with all the work to swap would you do this with an automatic transmission?

On another note on seeing the ti, and apologies for the thread drift, but anyone heard from Zach (ramplesauce) lately?

The zf8 speed is an amazing transmission.

And nope

Super nice e34 540i m-sport, gross m5 badge attached. He at least acknowledges it in his post haha.

I haven't either, although he's been active on Instagram so he has not fallen completely off the face of the earth.

despite the cliche of the badge, that car is 99% the same performance and looks of an m5. no s38 is sad, but honestly better for most people.

I've always been partial to the narrow grilles on these cars.

Regardless, I love the E34 and one with an M60 would be an absolute treat.

Oh damn, this has M4 calipers on it?

HUGE project. Seller knows how bad the car is, but hides it in the listing. I drove over 2 hours to see this car. Its really bad, and if you go back a few pages in this thread, I have pictures of the inside and under it, and it closer resembles the car below than a BMW 2002.

Yikes.

Sucks the seats are thrashed. Those Recaro's are awesome.

Him and his wife were over both days this weekend...6 feet apart and outside obviously. I can confirm he is still alive.

I’d make it 12-15 feet even without the threat of a virus

He doesn't smell that bad anymore. 6' is tolerable.

Feel free to keep an eye out for vehicles that you want in WA, I purchased a vehicle in WI and would be willing to do some low cost shipping of a vehicle from WA to WI.
Gas is cheap, work is in short supply, perfect time to drag a trailer around for a few days!

I'd like to help, but I'm pouring all of my money into vintage camera lenses right now. j/k...maybe. Or saving for a vacation; can't remember which.
