Well .... so I have a few bmw , 03 540i M-Sort , 07 Z4 3.0 , 97 328i and now a 98 328i parts car.

It all started with me wanting to get an E36 , I love the body style , always have. Favorite bmw Chasis ever. Long story short I bought a wrecked 328i for $500. Needs complete front end and transmission ( No reverse )

So I got the front end put back together , only thing really remaining is windshield , and an exterior door handle. ( which I can take off of the 98 )

Then swap the tranny. The 98 328 was sold to me with a ( bad motor ) for $300. Ended up needing battery and fuel pump. So a 98 with only 104k ... now when we started it the motor was shooting out of the valve cover , and it has some weird aftermarket things.

I called it a day and decided to take the headlights and tail lights off the 98 and get take the trans and motor and scrap it. ( maybe ls swap , we have a spare 4.8 and 4L60 at the shop, so don’t count her out yet )

Here’s where we stand today , the silver e36 is driving around the shop every morning to insure start up and keep battery charged. As soon as we have spare time we can swap trans ( Filter , Fluid and Gasket ) and test out.

I will be sure to post progress ( Yes the car is auto , No it’s not an M3 , yes it has M3 badges , It’s going to be a tribute turbo car when done ) So relax in the replies
