1989 BMW 325i 'S50 Swap'

Overview

Benefitting from a BAR-legal S50 engine from an OBDI E36 M3, this E30 325i has seen $14k in maintenance to help keep it running strong. A half cage has been bolted in for safety, and more capable VAC Wilwood brakes have been employed up front in hopes of making the cage unnecessary. The front subframe has been reinforced and strut tower bars have been fitted to stiffen up the chassis, and CA Tuning camber plates and coilovers give it more grip in the corners. This looks like a well-sorted driver and we’re confident that it could serve as a great companion in the canyons and on the track.

    Reported Accidents
    One or more accidents have been found on record through police reports or insurance claims.

    Accidents usually aren’t deal-breakers, but they can affect the condition and value of the vehicle. We always recommend Carfax and AutoCheck reports followed by a pre-purchase inspection (PPI) - even if there are no accidents listed (as some accidents go unreported).
