so everyone my engineering tuition is due soon so in an attempt to bail myself out i will let it go for 2300.00
The car is a graphite grey 528i 5spd, I have a few hundred hours of labor into it and a few thousand dollars. And it is still in need of a few things...and you wont want it unless you understand the look I wanted.
Here is what has been done since i owned it(2 years):
Drivetrain; replaced ECU, Airflow meter, radiator, water pump, fan, plugs, wires, cap, 2 fuel pumps, and it has had mobil 1 in it from day one(of 2 years) it need a new clutch and the outer fuel pump(a stone puctured it). It also has a new ansa 535i exhaust .also has new heater core and heater blower.
The body; I have started to prep it for a new black paint job, but it is still in primer, Also blacked out all the chrome around the windows. The unique vision i spoke of is the tail. I used sheet steel from an E-28 body and added the '85 535i tail lights (they look super cool). On the front of the car i have the outer bulbs replaced with the hella h1/h4's. Oh yeah and I have installed the one piece bumper/airdam from a euro 635csi (this also looks awesome). The body has some rust in trunk floor and at left rear bumper brace.
THE INTERIOR; now this is where all the money went, I have replaced every piece of the interior except the dash. It now has a complete black leather interior from a 535i, seats are all mint (no rips), nice charcoal carpet, e-28 style door panels and openers. Has the rare M1 type steering wheel, and i wired the e-28 center console witht the window switches to the shift area(the orange ones that glow).
Also the head liner was redyded grey. The sunroof assembly and rear window motor also got replaced. While the sunroof was out i added the e-28 roof consol with the glowing sunroof button and cutouts for visors.
The car has many other interior parts such as the b pillars and rear deck professionally upholstered in nice vinyl(such a thing actually exists). I also have the M535i wheels(bbs mahle 14") with some pirellis.
SUSPENSION AND BRAKES; I installed new rotors all around, rebuilt calipers all around, and metalmaster pads from bavarian autosport. It also recieved new tierod ends, pitman arm and bushing, and new kyb front struts, new polyurethane sway bar bushings.......
IT needs: it needs the rest of the car prepped to paint, the rust in the trunk fixed, a clutch, and a fuel pump. probably 300$ for the trunk floor, 250 for a clutch and 40 for a used fuel pump, and if you really were on a budget a few hundred for the maaco 400$ special. After this you would have the coolest e-12,
for another grand you can have the euro motor and tranny for it from the 635csi...130k, 10.0 comp, motronic intake, have mot. ecu have good 5 spd to go
