Well fellas, I think the time may have come. I find myself fishing every Saturday instead of driving this thing around and it deserves to be driven. Chassis has 170k, replaced shortblock by BMW.

To answer the most common question...no, I don’t know how much it makes. Best guess close to 400 at 5psi. Planning to go dyno it next month if not sold.

Before I get to the goods, let’s talk about the bad...
-rear window regulators are temperamental
-a previous owner must’ve had a coworker with no spacial awareness because there are dings all down the driver side
-no AC. All the stuff is there, but would need custom lines made
-front bumper does not clear in current configuration
-you will smell like exhaust after driving it
-rear bumper was hastily sprayed by me in my driveway, kinda looks like ass up close

This isn’t a concours car. I’d call it “driver quality”. Not the prettiest girl at the prom, but definitely the one you want to go home with. Paint is in great shape other than the aforementioned dings. No clean coat fading.

The fun stuff:
Running on Megasquirt MS3X
Bullseye s256
Tial 38mm wastegate with a screamer pipe
Tial 50mm BOV
Forge Motorsports boost controller
42lb injectors
Angry Ass Solutions PCV delete plate
Aeromotive e85 340lph pump
3” down pipe and exhaust

JBR LW single mass e39 m5 flywheel
OEM e39 m5 clutch
UUC clutch line
UUC DSSR
e60 550 short shifter
e46 ZHP knob

NEX coilovers
OEM e34 M Sport f/r swaybars
e31 spherical upper control arm bushings
Power flex black thrust bushings
I also have moosehead spherical thrust arm bushes
Stoptech drilled rotors
Hawk pads
Turner Motorsports braided lines

OEM msport mirrors
OEM m sport rear bumper
OEM m5 filler plate
Hella clear tails
Smoked corners
Stock 540 sport front bumper
OEM euro smileys with 5k HIDs
also have '95 side skirts and Msport wing not installed
AEM x series wideband
Currently on AC Schnitzer type 1, also have some e38 spec Mpars that could go with it.
Also have some Angry Ass seat rails

There’s a lot of small nuances I’d go over with anyone who’s really serious. Open to realistic offers. The only trades I’d be interested in, e46 m3 (no smg), n54 135, a techno violet e36 m3 coupe, or a 18-20’ center console flats/bay boat.

GLWS! Tempting for us to buy it as a company car, but we have too many irons in the fire as it is...

It would certainly make a great test mule! Sounds like you just need a bigger fire haha. But we'll see what happens. I'd gladly keep it and crank the boost up, but I've been informed by the powers at be that I'm not allowed to have more than one toy in the driveway...and I really want a new boat haha

[BleedsBlue]

A boat!? Lol! We’re focusing on S38 and S14 for now, since we only have so much time and can’t get spread too thin. The car has muuuuch potential, however. Good luck in your endeavors and hopefully another steward will continue building

I want, no, I need those OEM side mirrors. Yum-yum. If the new buyer wants to sell I will make a great offer deal. Good luck with the sale, 718. Great car and some people don't realize what a super deal this is. It is far from easy to turbo a E34 540i.

Thanks Jimmy! I’m not sure why it hasn’t sold. Lack of dyno numbers maybe? Your build is coming along nicely! Can’t wait to see it finished
