I won't be getting rid of it for a month or two probably, but I've been thinking about selling my daily driver 328i as a Challenge car/donor. I love the engines (M50?) in these things and think it would be a great swap. I'd use it myself, but starting with a car you already own is more complicated and I have another project. If there's some interest from a Challenger, I could be motivated to sell it sooner rather than later. I'm not sure what it's really worth, because I'd say it's closer to KBB poor condition than fair. I was thinking $1500, though. Maybe a little steep for a Challenge car, but I reckon its a fair price for this car. CHALLENGE-ONLY PRICE! You figure out if you can recoup enough to make it worth it.
5 speed ~160k miles - The engine is more like 130-140k because the original one blew up due to an exploding cooling fan. It has an electric fan now. - Engine uses some oil. - Power steering loses fluid over time. - Smog pump is dead. - Occaisonally it complains about a slow oxygen sensor, but I have the (expensive) replacement. - One of the kidney grills is missing, the fog lights are missing, and one of the headlights is getting foggy. - There are dents and scrapes all over the car. The worst one is on the trunk where I was hit very lightly by an ambulance. - I think it needs an alignment, but probably some of the bushings are shot, so that would be pointless. - The driveshaft guibo (rubber coupler) probably needs to be replaced. - Currently the lcds on the odometer, stereo and clock are dimmed out. - Sometimes they come back for a while. - Front rotors are on their last legs, ABS light just came on - cruise control is inop - Power seats and windows work. - A/C had died but works currently after recharging it. - The clutch and clutch master and slave cylinders are all fresh - The wheels are the nice 10 spokes that look a little like panasports or minilites. (not 8 like I orginally said.) The fourth wheel is in the trunk with a brand new tire on it.
