Maybe I should swap my front end with this front end so Its more of a sleeper look.. haha. Good daily's though! I know for a fact an lsx and a m50/zf will fit in the back at the same time!
Was real interesting when I got pulled over with all that nonsense in the back.
first thing cop says, "what the hell could you be doing with a v8 and a vacuum cleaner in your car?"

The guy I bought this from also has a 2005 9-2x Aero that the previous owner to it hit a snow bank and wrecked the front pieces. He said the headlights alone were $500 O_____O I guess that's what happens when you have a car that not too many of them are around anymore.
-
Okay I lied maybe I don't want that haha. My used siebon CF hood was 100$ in great condition(only bought CF because cheap) and my headlights(both) were 100$ used , fender shipped to me was 65$
parts are NOT NOT cheap new, but plenty of used stuff around.
But don't hit anything. Really sucks to replace the core support. But you know this with your old bmw haha.

Should fool a lot of people with the Saab bits though!

awesome pickup! We must be on the same wavelength cuz I'm flying out to Maryland on the 21st to pick up a 2005 legacy GT limited (sadly not a wagon, though). I considered a couple of those SAABARUS in my search but couldn't find anything as clean as what I found in the legacy GT space

That should be a great pickup too! This one is super clean. Interior is near mint, no rust, just surface stuff underneath as usual. I'll be putting her on a lift before winter to clean up all under there and rustproofing it. It's got winter tires on it too, which should make for some awesome snow driving.

winter tires are a must. I've never had an AWD car for the snow before so I am definitely going to find some place to toss it around and see what happens. I was looking for an e46 with xdrive and a stick for a couple months now and really struggling to find anything decent. I decided it was better to just look for a 2.5T subaru instead given how reliable they are and everything else. The budget is similar to if I was looking at a clean e46, although the subapoo is a bit more expensive due to rarity of the legacy GT with a stick. all in all it just seems like a better way to go for winter/alternate. Fun enough that you don't hate your life when you aren't driving your BMW

I paid $9k for it. Main reason I was OK with paying a little higher is that the 2006 is a little more rare. It has the 2.5L engine vs the 2.0L in the 2005. There's only roughly a little over 400 of the 2006s left in the country. And this one is all original. Only thing that was upgraded are the brakes. Drilled/slotted rotors, better pads and SS braided lines.

Get some cross-drilled brake lines
I heard those improve your top speed.
-
How many pedals does it have?
-
Yes, 3 pedals. I've never owned an automatic car. Manual ftw

sweet car, great way to avoid WRX insurance premiums. like swapping an M motor into a regular 3 series.

Yup. It definitely is! Even all the clean/original 2005s I found were in the $7-$8k range
