318ti.org forum - New TI owner.... Euro car pending

Hello (again) to list:

I recently aquired my own 95 TI. I purchased a high mileage (206K) 95 TI with ONE and only one goal in mind. As an OBD1 car, its easily modified and will still pass emissions in my state with a Euro transplant.

Very shortly it will get the front suspension from a Euro M3 and a euro 3.0 liter engine. Thanks to lists like this, it will sport E36 M3 rims and brand new take offs from a MB600. The motor from that project will be for sale once compression and leakdown are established. The whole enchilada may be for sale if I can get the right offer as well. (who are we fooling, it may be too fun to sell!)

I will not cry if I can sell the motor out of it, the TI will serve as a great platform for testing euro motors before sale. Its that easy to put one in.

I will try and post photos as the project moves forward.

Also in the stable are:

91 BMW Z1: Green on yellow. Yeah, it sounds horrific, but in person, its...well, not really horrific, and the green dash and carpet contrast pretty well. Who cares, the doors are cool enough that no one laughs.

91 BMW E34 M5: Softly for sale. 130K miles, needs a few things like any older car does. Not a garage queen, but sturdy, fast, and one of the last handbuilt beauties.

95 BMW E36 M3 LTW: One fast race car. Gutted to lose about 800 lb from stock. CM cage, euro Alpha N S50B32 with probably 390 NA HP at the crank. Not even close to street legal.

I have a new 20 foot container with 5 inline six euro motors on the way, two 5 speeds, 3 six speeds, an S14 and a pair of CR dog legs on the way. Should hit Chicago next week. All items for sale.
