This 1989 BMW 325i has been fitted with a 240 HP S52 straight six pulled from a Z3 M Roadster, a swap which used all new OEM components. Factory-correct Lachsilber paint has been re-sprayed once and the car has an aggressive stance over staggered three piece 16″ Rotiform wheels. Further modified with upgraded suspension, front valence, and alcantara upholstered factory sport seats, the car presents as a very tidy driver and is described as fast and reliable.

Lachsilber has been resprayed once before with additional metallic added for a more pronounced effect. The M-tech rubber rear wing and iS front splitter are nice additions, and the car sits over 500 mile-old staggered 16” x 8” and 16” x 9” three-piece wheels and tires, the seller adding that it entirely streetable with adequate clearance for daily driving.

The interior looks good with a few subtle modifications including OEM sports seats and rear bench re-upholstered with Alcantara, AC Schnitzer pedal covers, M-tech steering wheel and a bolt-in Kirk half roll cage behind the front seats. All gauges, lights and switchgear work as designed, which is a rarity on these swaps. Both the firewall and floors have been fully Dynamat’d for reduced noise and heat. Note the clean, uncracked dash and excellent door panels.

The car’s original, 170 HP M20 has been swapped out in favor of an S52B32 with 73k miles, bringing with it gains of 70 HP and close to 60 lb. ft. Chassis mileage is 175k. Power is sent towards a 3.73 limited slip rear end, and supporting suspension mods include Ground Control coilovers and Bilstein HD shocks.
