SOLD: `96 318i Touring project + M54B30

Recommended Posts

Hi,

Due to moving overseas I have to urgently part with my long-term project, much too soon for my liking.

It's a manual 1996 NZ New 318i Touring with 235,000kms. Car is drivable, but rego has been on hold for about 18 months - I was using it for about a year until I decided to put it on hold when I started commuting by motorbike - so it should probably be trailered away.

Pros:

  • Fairly rare NZ New Touring
  • Factory manual
  • Headlining and A pillar trims were re-clothed professionally, using a darker material
  • Purple tag steering rack
  • Leather front seats
  • Comes on staggered 17" style 68s with pretty new, high quality chinese tyres (probably done less than 1000kms on them) - 215/45/17 front, 235/45/17 rear
  • New boot struts

Cons:

  • Rough body - needs a little TLC - has a few small surface rust spots, couple small dents and needs a new paintjob as clearcoat is flaking
  • Rear seats are a bit rough
  • A few minor bits of interior trim missing 

Bonus - as this was a project, it will come with all the following:

  • M54B30 - taken out of E46 with ~190kms which drove well and didn't smoke. All cylinders tested at 150psi. Some maintenance items have already been done:
    • New oil filter housing gasket (and new oil filter)
    • 2x new cooling pipes under intake manifold (plastic ones)
    • New rocker cover gasket
    • New oil sump gasket
  • Comes with bits required to transplant the M54 into the E36:
    • E46 accelerator pedal and plug
    • Engine loom
    • ECU
    • Ancillaries: P/steering pump, alternator, etc
    • Airbox + AFM
    • Fuel filter + lines
    • E46 Radiator
    • New spark plugs (was going to replace after first start)
  • E46 330i front brakes - calipers, cradles, discs and pads
  • Replacement panels (white):
    • Driver's door 
    • Front passenger's door
    • Right front quarter panel
    • Nose cone
    • Rear bumper (slightly better than current on car)

I'm wanting $4.5k for the whole lot. Car is located in Te Atatu South. I highly recommend viewing.

Contact me on 021 293 9471 or direct message to arrange viewing or to request more photos (I've got a lot!).
Cheers, Kris
