This 1993 525i Touring has 241k chassis miles and is powered by a rebuilt S52 inline-six and 5-speed manual gearbox from a 1999 M3. The swap was performed in early 2016 and the car has covered about 2k miles since. It also received a new clutch and freshened driveline at that time, and it is equipped with a wheel stud conversion and Megan Racing coilovers, and a limited slip differential. This wagon has been with the seller for three years and received a new A/C compressor, power steering rack, fuel pump, battery, o2 sensors, Bosch brakes, and more during his ownership. The car is sold with an accident-free Carfax report, original books and manuals, paperwork from the build, extensive records, and a clean California title.

The Alpine White body wears original panels and has not experienced any known accident damage. The seller notes there are several small dings and that the clear coat on rear bumper and a few other spots are starting to experience some age-related peeling. The BMW is fitted with working factory fog lights and a front lip from an E34 540i. All glass is in good condition with several treated with tinting.

New rear hatch struts, and hood struts were just installed and are demonstrated in the photo above in their open position.

Overall the interior shows in good condition for its age and mileage. The leather seats present well and the seller says both have been rebuilt. All electrical switches and components are said to be in working order.

Fitted with a factory Panoramic sun roof, the tracks have been rebuilt and are said to work well. A new A/C compressor was installed 2k miles ago. The seller says the system blows cold and the compressor is still under warranty.

The 3.2L S52 inline-six was completely rebuilt just 2k miles ago to factory specifications. It was pulled from a 1999 M3 with 130k miles, and during the rebuild the VANOS seals were replaced and new o2 sensors were installed. A new fuel pump and battery were also added at this time. The seller has paperwork on the build and the fresh battery comes with a warranty. The 5-speed is said to shift well with a new clutch kit, master, and slave cylinder added. The drivetrain is from a manual E34 and was cleaned and resealed. The rear end is fitted with a 3.23 limited slip differential.

Undercarriage photos show relatively clean surfaces and the seller states there are no known leaking issues from any component. Fresh suspension components were fitted less than 500 miles ago, and a new power steering rack was also added.

Megan Racing 32-way coilovers were also added 200 miles ago.

The car has a low stance and rides on German-made Breyton 18×8.5” wheels that are wrapped in 225/40s with over 80% tread left. Bosch brakes and wheel stud conversions have been added on all around.

The Carfax shows the car has had no accident damage reported.
