Basically the same setup that I got. This car sustained the same damage as my Artic '98 M3. 110k miles, Dinan tuned, 5speed, vaders etc. I paid 3 grand for mine, but mine didn't have any damage to the rear besides a bent control arm, only the front driver's fender/suspension were smashed on mine. Marv, where ya at? You're already halfway done, Time to man up and play with the big boys!  Noah, I heard you talkin about a swap?  Harold, I know you got the funds...  David... OBD1 S52 swap?  Here it is, waiting for one of you guys to tow it home: http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/cto/989143904.html SoCal 332ti FTMFW!!! __________________ 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!! |  |  | | 01-12-2009, 08:05 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2008 Location: San Diego Posts: 180 |

i wouldnt be able to do what you're doing at the moment, rebuilding and changing all the gaskets. i wouldnt be able to afford it. but if its good and running would a swap in be worth it? __________________

I searched for years for the PERFECT Ti, then I searched for another year for the PERFECT donor vehicle. I've owned 6 e36's(3 of them Ti's) and driven several M3's over the years. M3's are cool, but come a dime a dozen these days(no offense towards M3 owners). Now a 332ti, that's something special  __________________ 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!! | | | | | 01-12-2009, 09:00 AM | #7 | | NOBODY F's with the Jesus Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Ventura California Posts: 7,824 |

As soon as I'm done with mine, i need to do a clutch and flywheel swap for Nikolai. The only reason I took the time to replace all of my seals and gaskets is because it had a few oil leaks, which is my biggest pet peeve. If this thing runs good, doesn't leak and compression numbers check out, drop that bish in and call it good to go. Might as well do the tranny swap while you're at it since you'll have all of the parts you need. This thing won't last through tomorrow, if you snooze you lose! Call that guy at 6am, be there at 7 with cash in hand. Offer 2600. Part it out, double your money and walk
DRIVE away with a FREE engine/tranny/vader swap Ask me how I know... __________________ 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!! | | | | | 01-12-2009, 04:36 PM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: central ct Posts: 503 |

would you and your dad be able to help me out sometime? | My dad is a very busy and patient person. You saw how long it took for mine to get done. Who exactly is going to do the swap for you? And have you thought about who is going to align the ECU/EWS for you? If you're going to do it with the M shop...you going to have to try and guess when you'll think it will be done and approximate your ready time. M shop has appointments that wont open up for 2-3 weeks. So towards the end if you think youll be done in a week and a half, then make the appointment 2 weeks before so that now you wait a couple of days or a week. Don't be done and then make the appointment cuz then you'll wait 3 weeks with your car ready to just go. If you have questions call me up. I can also let you burrow something that I purchased to help you out | | | | | |
