Rear trailing arm bushings were replaced at the same time also with AKG polyurethane.

Motor mounts and subframe spacers were made by a forum member. I relocated the oil filter to the lower left side of the car. I used a spin on stand and use a large Mann spin on filter. I removed the oil pan and torqued the oil pump bolts. DME is chipped and located in the glove box.  
InteriorCardinal seats and door cards. Carpet is black. I just replaced the driver's kick panel under the steering with with a brand new part. The center console rear section is from an e46 m3. It has a Panasonic deck with sirius radio (will need subscription. ) Speakers are polk 6. 5" components with a JL amp. Seats are just starting to crack but are not in horrible shape.  
UndersideFloors had two small holes near the front jack points which I had repaired by a BMW body shop. The rear tray sections left and right have a little rust. Other then those little spots it is in great shape rust wise.  


With all that said this has been my ongoing project for many years. This car gets a lot of great attention whenever I take it out. I have driven the car maybe 2-3k miles since I did the swap. I am just ready to move onto another project. The car runs great and has been very reliable for me. It was previously a m20 that I turboed. I did the swap for reliability. I did not want to deal with stand alone anymore and was ready to tackle something new. You are more then welcome to contactt me with any questions. Please contact me before bidding. I am fine with shipping the car or helping with delivery within a resonable distance.
