    WTS: 1991 318i - M54/6 speed swapped - slick top

    Hello everyone, up for sale is my M54/6 speed swapped slick top 318i sedan. I have owned the car a little over a year and it has been nothing but fun. I am focusing on restoring my 2002 over the winter so this and few other cars have to go. This will be a lengthy listing so hang in there. If you have any further questions please reach out to me. I am located in Elkton, MD. The price is $10,900. Please be sure to look at the google album for photos: https://photos.app.goo.gl/B2yGTK7AFTKkpLVj6

    At the bottom of the listing is an overview of mostly the swap components. I will go into more detail below:

    Mechanical: The M54/6 speed transmission swap was done by the previous owner in 2020 and has had about 6k miles on it since. The engine and trans had 45k miles on when installed. I can provide the VIN of the Z4 it was taken out of. The car runs great and have taken it on multiple long distance trips with no issues. I just took it on a 6 hour round trip last Saturday to Bimmerbuddies Octoberfest. The car pulls hard and is a lot of fun to drive despite it have an open 2.93 differential.

    Exterior: The car is originally Alpine white and a factory slick top ( non sunroof) car. It was resprayed at some point and was not holding up the best so I vinyl wrapped the car (Gloss Sandstorm) as a temporary solution as it is a weekend toy. It's not perfect as I am not an expert but the wrap turned out pretty good and much better than the paint underneath. The past owner hit a deer so there is a small slope in the roof near the windshield. I had it fixed by classic auto body of Wilmington when I bought the car but could use more work to be perfect. I was going to have this re-addressed when painting the car. The windshield does not leak and have had no issues since. The fenders were also replaced due to dents. There is very little superficial rust that I have seen, jack points are all solid, someone has previously worked on the battery box. Some small bits here and there on the bottom of doors. Overall the car looks great.

    Interior: The interior is in fair shape. It has cloth anthracite interior which is fairly uncommon. The driver seat is in great shape, the passenger seat has wear as well as the rear of the back seat. The heat/AC are not operational. The AC button has been hooked up to a SPAL fan. The heat can be hooked up, there are guides on how to do this using e90 hoses and is pretty straight forward. I drive this car on nice days so this was not necessary for me. The radio has been replaced with voltage/oil pressure gauges. I'm sure you could relocated the gauges and install the radio if wanted. I personally enjoyed listening to the exhaust note so it was not important to me.
