Anyone have an M50TU sitting around? Or M52/S5x?

Check it, it's a manual with 182,000 (I emailed the seller). Bargained down to sub-$1k and it should be a good deal.

EDIT: I bought it

EDIT2: I'm not sure if I can deal with fixing it as I have to move soon and don't want to title it in ATL while fixing it in Indiana. Anyone want to buy it for $1k? That's the seller's bottom line.

[screwbiedoo15]

Very good deal.

[ShapeShifter]

I have a complete M50 longblock 110k miles
No pan or dip stick

$475 + shipping

[4500 RPM]

It would be a great deal at $1k...white/black 5-speed '95 is mundo desireable. I'm trying to find a reason to do it but can't.

EDIT: Well, PorscheDude is making that a lot harder to ignore!

[ShapeShifter]

Buy it and part it.

[4500 RPM]

Alright I emailed him again :rofl

$1k is enough to reason to do it. Great combo color, 5 speed, 95 skirts. The thing has tons of parting out potential if you didn't want to fix it up

[ltflint]

Dammit, why can't this be closer!

[4500 RPM]

What the hell am I going to do with two of these? :rofl

[ShapeShifter]

One for each foot?

Fix and flip
or
buy and part

[David325e]

Fix it. Trade me.

[russiankid]

I should buy it and drop my motor into it.

I'm leaning to fixing it and flipping it...Wheeler Dealers, baby!


Fix it. Trade me.

LOL hell no. I love my 525s!

Too late. :)

Damn. Guess I'll have to buy haha. I know the feeling man. Speedsterbek has a running 750il in good shape for 650 the next state over. It'd be a stretch for me, but I can't resist it.

[Sam Son]

congrats Denton

[BavarianFanatic]

Bastard! You're such a tease!

[4500 RPM]

I'm really swaying back and forth on fixing it or parting it. Not sure what to do now. :(

[skylinergtr]

fix it. you can have one as a beater.

[Sam Son]

umm might i suggest making it your daily..you could use a car that doesnt have rare bumpers...in other words....a car that you wont have to go ballistic if someone rearends you...

[4500 RPM]

fix it. you can have one as a beater.

Not an option...going to be moving out on my own in a month here and going to be cash-strapped to say the least. :(

I don't want to spend more than $1800 on this project (including new motor) if I decide to fix it. If I part, well, I part it but not sure on the returns.

How much does a mint '95 black interior go for?

I'll start the bidding at $100!

Give you $100 for a 5-speed swap. :)

I wish.:(

No joke...if it looks like I'm moving to Brooklyn then I'm keeping it. But doubt it.

Haha, let's hope the bidding goes higher than that! :)

Would be higher than that but honestly wouldn't be too bad.

Well..how much considering its a Getrag.

[4500 RPM]

I'd do $650 with every nut, bolt, everything including diff.

Still not sure if I'm parting it though. I've only put a deposit on it.

[ltflint]

Interested in 5 speed as well if things don't happen for russiankid. PMed!

[russiankid]

Maybe by that time I'll have the money.

[4500 RPM]

Sure, no problem. I really don't want to part this car, it's too nice but it's such a hassle and very expensive to register it. :(

[russiankid]

If I had the money I would have bought it and swapped in my engine,cooling system, suspension, brakes, etc.. and finally a 5-speed. Oh well.

[e34armour]

LMK if you will actually be parting as there are some parts I'm interested in, good luck with the resurrection if you decide to revive it!

[4500 RPM]

I'm running the numbers on the car, trying to figure out what is involved.

Parting this thing is not going to make any money, there are not any high-dollar parts on it.

I sure don't want to back out of this thing but don't want to lose money on it. I need to figure out registration/insurance on.

[ShapeShifter]

Big dollar items is not where the cash lays
don't trip over nickles to pick up pennies.

Trans swap 650
door panels 250
oil pan and dip stick stuff for E30 guys 150
intake for M3 guys 75
seats 175
back seat 100
wheels 125
ecu 75

the list goes on but you won't get your money overnight.
Then there's the carcass left for a few months.
That being said, there's cash to be made.
Can you disassemble everything yourself is the question.....


Car would be great for NYC.

[4500 RPM]

I know it, we parted the M5 (where there was lots of big money items) and Nic is parting is 540. I just move in a month, and parting takes a long time. I don't really want to move a van full of crap.

At this point I may pass over the whole car. If anyone wants it more than me talk to me about it, don't go through the seller...$1k was his bottom line.

[MaxSteel]

Can I haz front bumper?

From the pics it looks to be f'd.

But sqitis is selling his Alpine '95 bumper, PM him.

Ooo

Thanks for the heads up.

[HE53]

dude.. put a motor in it.

Its a weekend project, I could help in Sept, but Im stacking until then.

I see motors on craigslist here pretty often for 300-400 bucks.. or get one from a pick and pull yard for about 150 bucks.

Hopefully the planets will align and I'll have a project of my own this weekend. :shifty

[BMWheadSpence]

Oh man, if this was just in california and maybe a 535i I'd pick it up. Anyone wanna send the car to me in one of those new flat rate boxes?
Thanks, very appreciated

brooklyn? where abouts?:silly

Yeah I'm still trying to find a motor but it's tough...I have to find a DEAL. Keep an eye out for me.

How much is shipping on a motor?

Dude, you better have that project. :shifty

No dice! :)

I dunno...I have no idea of any of the neighborhoods in NYC. If you're bored call my GF and show her around the city, she just got up there yesterday.

[Sam Son]

If you're bored call my GF
hrmmmmmmmm:naughty


































I keed I keed:stickoutt

[mtg729]

^ haha.

I would be very interested in the door panels and maybe the entire interior. If you decide to part of course.

[mlambert831]

If you do part it, I'd be down for some interior pieces aswell. If you don't part it, GL with the repairs, make a build thread.

[4500 RPM]

Brady Kessler has tempted me. :shifty
