WTT: 1989 BMW 325i (e30)
54,000mi on engine (s50b30)
179,000mi on chassis

Some highlights:
s50 (out of a 95 M3)
UUC 8.5lb flywheel
e34 M5 clutch (good to 400hp)
Long tube headers
New motor mounts
New sensors (both knock sensors, cam position, crank position)
New thermostat, coolant temp sensor
New 16" pusher fan, deleted clutched fan
New intake manifold gaskets
New serpentine belt
New(ish) flex disk
Reupholstered interior, no cracked dash (common on e30s)
BBS RM 2 piece wheels
Lowered on Bilsteins/H&R springs
BMW z4 short throw shifter
BMW M tech II steering wheel
Rear strut brace

Swap was completed in summer of 2010, garaged through fall and winter. Paint is very clean, and there is now a gutter mounted roof rack on it. There are a couple body issues, a bubble by the passenger side rear window, and under the tow hook in the rear. Car is a devastating street car. Here is a dyno video right after the swap. This was with open long tube headers, but it now has a full exhaust:

Im at a cross roads with it right now, keep building it to 400-500hp or get into something else. Located in Ohio. I would like to trade for something else interesting. I am interested in C5's, probably no F bodies unless it is a very favorable trade on my end. I can do cash +/-, I also have a 2003 Ducati Monster 800S that can be added to the equation.

Thanks

Would you be willing to entertain any cash offers?
