WTB: M5, Turbo, swap, s38/52/54

Post by sdub »

WTB a fast e28. (Open to e12 / e36 or others, I know wrong forum)
M5 that needs saved from the yard etc.
Swapped with ? / turbo / v8 pretty open to suggestions.

Pros: nice interior, euro bumper treatment, working AC.
Cons: shoddy work from PO (unfinished okay, but not wanting to redo), carburetor swaps
Must have: LHD (unless something amazing)
Hope for budget $15-$20, maybe+ for the right car.

Looked at this but a bit high for my budget:

Can trade a 2 owner 2009 A3 6sp (don't laugh) if interested and I can DD the e28.

I'm contemplating letting go of my E36 Sedan AW/Blk Slicktop with S54 swap. Equipped with 6-speed transmission (from e46 m3), carbon airbox, bimmerworld headers, bimmerworld exhaust, MSC coilovers, aftermarket sway bars, e36 m3 euro strut bar, Brembo BBKs, stainless steel brake lines, CAE shifter, etc. Subframe reinforced, preventative maintenance for VANOS and rod bearings performed 50 miles ago. It's a well sorted car. Please feel free to dm me for details. Thanks!

I have a turbo M50 e30.

1986 325es
M50b30 non vanos
Turbonetics 6162 60 series
RSI manifold
Custom air to water setup
AC works, converted to 134a
M20 five speed
Clutch masters FX400
Rebuilt driveshaft
3.15 Torsen LSD
One piece 16” style 5s
Custom 3.5->3” exhaust
Megasquirt 2

Unfortunately cylinder 4 is 38% leak down. But it runs and drives just fine

That sounds like a fun car but I'm not interested in E30's.
They're a tad on the small side for me. Thanks though
