Black 1996 332ti / M3 swap

[tastade]

Anyone know about a black 332ti located in Cedar Rapids, IA? It has race seats in the interior, and otherwise looks like it has beige cloth on the doors, etc. M3 body kit, BMW Motorsport wheels, drilled front rotors, but the back rotors look stock. I was going to go look at it tomorrow, but was wondering if anyone here knew the history of the car. Thanks, Eric

That's Ahheck01's car. You can search for his posts here and on Bimmerforums to get some car history.

I went and looked at it today (didn't drive it), but I am not sure if it was the same one or not. I think the Vin number ended in s9xxxxx (don't remember exact numbers). It had been repainted (Schwartz), and they said it was from Florida. The race seats looked a little different from Ahheck01's, as they were gray instead of black. I didn't look at it seriously because they are asking way to much, around $15 or $16k (they have a nice M3 for only $17k, which is a much better buy).

If anyone is interested it is at European Motors in Cedar Rapids, here is their website but I don't think it is posted yet. www.euroltd.com

Yeah, I saw that ahheck01's car started in Cedar Rapids, got sold to somebody in like TN, who drove it a total of 500 miles, put a turbo in it and MSD ignition system, had issues with it and got fed up. They wound up liquidating it for $5000, not running, including the brand new turbo setup, headers/exhaust. I think it's in PA now.

Kind of strange that there were two Cosmos Schwartz 332ti's based out of Cedar Falls. I wonder if the same person/shop built two of them. $16k is ridiculous for an average 332ti. Mine was more than a third less than that.

Just in case anyone is interested: http://www.euroltd.com/cgi-script/cs...006/000613.htm

I see they are asking 15k for it now that they have it listed. Still too high. They put the mileage at 47k, but the body has a lot more than that, and it is a repaint..
