1995 BMW 318ti 'S52 Swap'

Benefitting from a S52 motor out of an E36 M3, this E36/5 318ti sports a long list of upgrades to help bring it to the next level. Power is channeled through a M3 transmission and a 3.73 limited-slip differential to help it power out of the corners. The manual Vader seats look to be in excellent shape, and we are fond of the BMW Style 66 wheels which suit the design well. This example has a bruiser on record that happened early in its life, so extra scrutiny is advised as always.

    Reported Accidents
    One or more accidents have been found on record through police reports or insurance claims.

    Accidents usually aren’t deal-breakers, but they can affect the condition and value of the vehicle. We always recommend Carfax and AutoCheck reports followed by a pre-purchase inspection (PPI) - even if there are no accidents listed (as some accidents go unreported).
