FS/FT s52 swapped e30 bimmer

[s_13coupe]

Hey, just seeing if anyone would be interested in my swapped bimmer. Info on it is below.

Price: $7500 or trade, just let me know what u have.

-Black 1989 325IS
-Windows tinted all the way around
-working euro smilies
-blacked out rear tail lights
-has a concealed subwoofer and amp
-lowered, setup is : IE3s/bilsteins
-wheels are euro weaves rear: 15's front : 14's

Now to what you really wanna know about. Everything that was done during the swap.

-s52 engine out of a 1997 M3 (engine has less then 80k)
-s52 wiring harness
-AKG wiring harness adapter to make it obd1
-ZF 5-speed tranny (tranny has less then 80k on it as well)
-Stage 1 clutch and flywheel
-Alternator
-Power Steering Pump
-Brracing under drive pulleys
-Whole new gasket kit
-New fuel rail
-Euro MAF
-New spark plugs
-Z3 shifter arm
-E28 motor mount set
-New drive guibo
-New front and rear brake rotors
-S.S brake lines
-3.25 lsd rear dif out of an M Coupe with matching finned dif cover

Overall this is a great car but it has some cons, those are below.

-normal little dings on the outside but nothing major at all.

-no rear section of exhaust system, only has headers and mid-pipe (i don't care hence why it is still like that.

-paint is not amazing

-a blinker light is out.


There were no corners cut while doing the swap, if you take a little time to make the exterior perfect this car would be truly amazing.

i miss my e30 everyday

im sorry but thats not a s52, its probably a s50 or m50 or m52 bc a s52 the oil cap it toward the front of the car.... just saying

[s_13coupe]

Sorry but that is not true, It depends and when it was produced, some had it in the front and some in the back, and how could it not be an s52 when i checked out the VIN tag on the engine and made sure it was

Wrong I own a m3 I know about bmws sorry s50 was obd1 and cap was toward the firewall obd2 was s52 cap was towards the front I have a 98m3 with a s52 they only had caps up front sorry

Not that it matters to me, but it might to your buyers:

For reference, here is the S52 motor:

The US S50 looks similar but will have a silver VANOS cover and an oil cap located toward the rear of the motor.

Also the intake manifold is different from the s50 to the s52 just saying. I'm nit trying to shit on ur thread but just figured some buyer might want to know.

Shatted...

or someone swapped the obd1 intake manifold since its a common upgrade and also the swapped the shitty plastic valve cover for the metal obd1 cover as well. If the vin tag on the motor checks out there is no reason to doubt it just because of those two common swaps. If you were close Id offer up my is300 as a trade, i sold my swapped e30 not too long ago and would love to see this parked next to my e36 m.

[s_13coupe]

I have also owned 2 '97 M3's with the s52 but i def forgot that i did do those two swaps on the valve cover and intake manifold. That is what must have happened here because i did look up the VIN tag and it checks out as an s52.
