    1979 BMW 320i - M60 Swap

    Hello. I've got a resto-mod BMW E21 with a swapped BMW M60 engine that's been bored out to 4.6L by Dinan. It was built by Pacific Motorworks in Portland, OR. It's a real head turner and one of the most unique BMW builds in the county and was even featured in BMW Magazine (see screen grabs below, I can send hi-res version if interested). I've got a fourth kid on the way so I need to make more space in the garage for bikes and wagons...

    I'm asking $15,500 OBO. I'd be glad to answer any questions, thanks for looking!

    The Good:
    -Just had all the fluids changed and a few electrical bugs fixed
    -M60 Engine rebored by Dinan to 4.6L (approximately 25,000 miles on engine)
    -GPS speedometer installed in stock cluster
    -Custom fuel supply system
    -Brembo Big Brake conversion on all four corners (not power assisted)
    -Custom Fiske wheels
    -Koni Coilover suspension
    -530i 5-speed transmission
    -M5 Rear Slip Diff
    -M30 body panels
    -Fresh paint in factory color Golf Yellow
    -Incredible engine compartment
    -Custom stainless exhaust and headers

    The Not so Good:
    -The AC is all there but doesn't work - needs electrical help
    -front Blinkers don't work
    -Tires have plenty of wear, but might need to be replaced soon
    -Drivers side door doesn't have lock
    -I pulled out the old carpet and haven't replaced it yet, but the kit drops in and is $280 from Esty
    -Needs a new custom center console which incoporates the power window and power door lock switch (note the picture below is from before i removed the center console to swap the head unit, it didn't go back together as I had planned. It was custom built because when the transmission was swapped the shifter moved foward about 1" so it doesn't work with the stock center console, which I have)
    -Has custom amp and speakers, but no head unit

    This thing is amazing. I've had a 78 e21 for a few years and have dreamt up doing an m60 swap, I'd really appreciate any guidance whatsoever with this build. Good luck with selling! I'm sure you have more $ into it than asking price
