Vehicle Detail

1990/5 BMW Twin Cam Cab Located in Northern VirginiaI have owned this car since 2006. After driving for a year or two I decided I loved the car but wanted more performance and decided on the M50 conversion. Replaced: engine, transmission, and diff as well as all of the other misc parts required. e36 quick ratio steering rack conversion makes the car super responsive. While performing the transplant I knew I had to upgrade everything else to handle the increase in power. It took well over a year and plenty of cash to put it together but the result is a wonderfully well balanced machine with plenty of power. The best part – it’s still all BMW!I am selling the car because I have been working on an advanced degree and running a small business so I have not had much time to devote to working on much less driving it. It has been driven a few times a year for the past few years but spends way too much sitting in the garage.The engine, tranny, and diff came from an 95 e36 sedan with 95K mi. The chassis has approx 110K mi (the odometer broke around 95K mi when doing conversion).Upgrades:Drive Train95’ e36 M50 with VANOS95’ e36 TransmissionE36 quick ratio Steering RackAluminum Radiator w New Fan ClutchNew Water Pump with Metal ImpellorE30 M3 Clutch2.93 Limited Slip DiffZionsville BMW Short Shift KitScorpion SS ExhaustStainless Clutch LineBMW/Redline/Mobile 1 Fluids onlyChassis Wheels and BrakesContinental Contact 215/40 ZR 17 95% Tread LeftPowder Coated CalipersCool Carbon S/T PadsCross Drilled and Slotted RotorsStainless Brake Linese21 Brake BoosterBilstein Sport ShocksH&R SpringsFront and Rear Shock MountsRacing Dynamics Sway BarsNew Tie RodsAPEX ARC-8 17X8 Wheels with 1 Spare Still in the BoxInterior/ExteriorNew Top with nice clear rear windowComplete Body Re-sprayRear Brake Light DeleteE30 M3 Seats with New Seat Covers from Creative Options – Vinyl Sides with Micro Sued InsertsSparco Steering Wheel 325 es Front SpoilerThe car is not perfect yet – there are still some unfinished details that I have not had the time to address.Items which should be addressed:Small oil leak from valve cover gasket – I have the gasket just haven’t had time to change.Needs both Relay bracket for the engine compartment and Airbox bracket.Odometer broke at 94 K miA/C needs to be charged – I had new hoses and o-rings installed a couple of years ago.Passenger seat release cableTop release handle – I have the partsCenter Console – I have the partsWindows need to be AdjustedMisc Interior parts
