1996 BMW 318ti

Swapped 1997 328is M52 B28 2.8lt

Manual 5 Speed

Torsen 4:10 helical LSD from 98 Z3 2.8lt

TA Technix German Fully adjustable Coilovers

Custom 93 Octane ECU, tuned Dinan Hacked Chip for E36 compact Chassis.

Currently Sitting on BMW M5 17″x8 style 71 replica wheels on NITTO NT555(3000k) 235/45zr17.included with price of car or 500$ just for wheels. Have Original Borbett 15″ 5 stars on shit tires(free with car). also have Beyern Mesh 18″x8.5 on (2xFirestones Firehawks 3000k, 2xAntares Ingen A1, <500k) all 235/40/18s They are currently Yellow but base finish is Gloss Powdercoat Black. Add 500$ for these or 600$ to buy Outright.

Duck Tail Spoiler

Both Windows work!

AC Deleted during swap. Heat is excellent, has low temp tstat so needs time to warm up in winter.

After I did the swap, I either upgraded or replaced with new everything in pairs, rear subframe bushings, control arms, control arm bushings M3 style and brackets, front bearings, brake pads all 4 corners, rotors all 4 corners, Has front sway bar (thicker) from 328is, Front sway links, front sway bushings, rear sway links, rear sway bushings, both Axle shafts, Transmission mounts,Differential mount, Motor Mounts(also have brand new set somewhere) Guibo, Center Support Bearing, Window Slide Sockets, Aluminum Water Pump w/Aluminum housing, 6 coil packs and Plugs, Valve cover gasket, New clutch <3000 miles, both O2 sensors(see note), Yellow glass Fog lights(need to be hooked up) 328is Front bumper cover, 328is side skirts, Angel Eye headlights with clear lens and clear corners, Upper and Lower radiator hoses, New radiator, 140 amp alternator, new battery 5/18.

I have fiddled around with the exhaust on this car numerous times. Currently it has true dual exhast from motor back with dual twin tips, car has 4 muffler but exit mufflers are pretty much for looks. Made the exhaust fully removable from front to back as one unit with 2 Summit Racing SS Band Clamps. Car is fairly loud, Just need to turn up the radio.

Pioneer Head Unit w/USB and Aux full amp control. Alpine ALS amp. Rockford Fosgate 12″ P2-Punch in box 4ohm. 2 6×9 infinity rears, 2 infinity mids and 2 tweeters in doors. system was about 3500$ 10 years ago. Still pounds. Custom Kicker L5-L7 10” Square box built into rear, see pics. Still have Kicker, maybe rebuildable. 2 ohm.

No leaks.

Approx 130k on swapped engine. On 3rd gauge cluster so TMU

O2 sensors are new, but have a clearance issue with the dual exhast which causes one wire to occasionally rub and throw a code.

Car is currently registered and completely drivable, so heres the issues. Car came from Maine, it has alot of rust, the worst areas are common to this vehicle rear fenders and the rocker panels. These can be replaced whole for like 700$ a side for fenders and 300$ per side on rockers. Ive had this car for 8 years and the swap has been done for 6 years. It’s super light, 2700lbs, which makes it undrivable in the snow with the tires I have so I have always parked it in the colder months. There is no traction control and no ABS, this car is ripe for the track but can easily just be used for hooning. I have never “drifted”” the car, a few zealous corners for sure. estimates are about 200-215 hp but at its weight its much faster than expected. Never beaten by e36 M3. I have gone head to head with many cars and guestimate the 1/4 mile to be something in the mid to low 13s. call or text 86O six3four 7nine7O”
