Default 1995 BMW 330TI, M3 swap, 5 speed, H&R Race

Sadly it's time for me to leave the TI community. I picked up an E46 M3 last winter, and now I picked up a 330XI for the winter. The TI has lost its spot in the garage. I'm going to miss this car and its fun and utility, but it's been 7 years or so and I was ready for something new.

Please see my craigslist ad for pictures. Description pasted below. PLEASE respond through craigslist if interested and mention you're on here, I don't get on here much anymore would rather sell to a member.
http://hartford.craigslist.org/cto/5259131154.html


Selling my daily driver of the last 6+ years, have simply decided it's time to move onto something else. Perfect for a daily driver for someone, or strip it down and turn it into an awesome track car for cheap. Ready to sell anytime, I'm sure I've forgotten some things.

2700 as seen in pictures, including an almost new set of 15" Blizzak snow tires on steel wheels and the roof rack (discontinued fit kit, very hard to find. Bike racks not included, only bars & feet).
Take $100 off if you don't want the rack.
Take $200 off if you don't want the snow tires
Take $75 off if you don't want the subwoofer enclosure and sub.

Its a 1995 BMW 318TI hatchback with a 95' M3 S50 engine swap. Made 210hp 210tq at the wheels a couple years back.
OBD1, Jim Conforti Tune Chip
5 speed, larger 5 series clutch
Bilstein/H&R Race suspension.
M-Roadster rear sway bar.
TMS front sway bar (according to PO, not installed at this time. see below)
Racing Dynamics front strut brace
3.25 LSD
M-Roadster short shifter
Straight piped from factory cats back to a 2.5" out
MOMO Veloce steering wheel (unless I find another wheel to swap it out before the sale)
Fan Delete Mod, sport seats, upgraded stereo JVC head unit has usb and aux input, false floor in trunk, custom fiberglass subwoofer enclosure, 17" Contours.

The car is very reliable, and I don't hesitate to drive it anywhere. I still drive it once or twice a week, but now have 3 cars and don't have to room for them all over the winter. Everything on it works perfect, except it has no AC. The guts of this car actually used to be in a different chassis, but I had to retire that one about 2 years ago and swapped nearly the entire car over to this chassis.

The Good:
All mods listed above
New Radiator, electric fan, valve cover gasket, oil change within the last 1000 miles.
New tie rods, front calipers & lines, and front wheel bearings within the last 10k miles
Highly reliable, averages 25mpg.
Oil always changed at 3500 miles for normal oil, or 7000 miles with synthetic. Always a variant of Mobil oil
comes with a bunch of miscellaneous spares, including coil packs, fuel pump, rear axles.
Dirt Cheap insurance. According to the VIN this is a 4cyl automatic base model car.

The bad:
The body is probably a 6/10. No major rust anywhere, but it has lots of dents/scratches/etc from the previous owner. The worst is the one on the rear hatch, he must have backed into something.
Actual mileage unknown. The engine was rebuilt sometime before my ownership, as well as the clutch replaced. The chassis has probably 150k on it, though the odometer is out of a different car and shows 270k.
It will need new rear tires within the next 5k miles or so. Since it's been my backup driver / used when I need to transport things, I had the rear tires swapped from left to right due to camber wear but they're supposed to be directional and are going to wear faster. Fronts are still decent.
No AC. I planned on trying to retrofit it, but never got around to it
Needs a shift boot as the current ones worn. They're cheap, but I figure I'll let the new owner decide on the color/style
Front sway bar is not currently installed. The stud for one of the two bushing mounts had torn out. I have the replacement bushing mount, but never had time to cut out the old and weld in the new. It has been this way since I did the chassis swap 2 years ago and drives fine. I've done probably 15k miles in this car since then.

Well, I'm no longer a TI owner. I may be back, it's been fun. Thanks everyone on the board for everything, even if I haven't been active on here recently
