Brilliantrot 1990 325iS
Build date 9/89
213k on chassis
Swapped for the last 10k


Listing this car today for a very good friend of mine, this has been his pride and joy for the past 3.5 years. This car has been absolutely 100% reliable since the S50 swap and has seen many miles up and down this fine state. This car was professionally engine swapped at TNG Automotive when they were located in La Crescenta, CA. No corners were cut and anything that needed to be replace WAS replaced at the time of the swap. Unfortunately priorities change and sometimes you've just got to let things go. This is an original California car with a clean title in hand. This car is ready to just get in and DRIVE.

The dirt: Is this car a show winner? No. This car is clean for its age and is a DAILY DRIVER. The Brilliantrot paint still shines well but does require a nice coat of wax every 2 months or so to keep it looking good. The car has a couple bumps and dings but nothing too major. There is some clearcoat peeling on the rear bumper and top of the right side C-pillar. Unfortunately the dashboard cracked over the winter so it is no longer perfect. There is a small rip in the carpet to the right of the driver's seat. I believe the previous owner had a Husco armrest and removed it. Pleas note that this car is not BAR certified and currently has NO catalytic converter installed. We can discuss details of handling the smog if the buyer is located in California.

Asking $10,500.
