1991 BMW 318is 'S52 Swap'

Listed for $25,000Sold
1991 BMW 318is 'S52 Swap'

Overview

Sporting a S52 motor out of a Z3 M Roadster and a limited-slip differential, this E30 318is looks ready to take on the backroads. It has seen a long list of recent work to help keep it running strong, and it has recently been repainted and the interior has been reupholstered in handsome brown leather. A lightweight flywheel has been fitted to help reduce parasitic losses, and a custom 3″ exhaust gives it a better soundtrack. This looks like a well executed build and we would love to give it a go.
