For sale i have components for 325i sport.

I have, 325i motronic 1.3 engine, all ancillaries loom and ecu.
Air filter box and airflow meter.
Expensive set of 4 point bosch injectors with same flow rate as stock.
Engine rubber mounts.
Gearbox rubber mounts.
Flywheel and clutch.
Propshaft and bearing.
Gearbox i believe is a sport gearbox but need to check.
Brake servo and pipe.
Clutch slave cylinder.
Radiator and hoses.
Viscous fan.
Heater hoses.
Ignition coil.
Pre facelift expansion tank and hoses.
Radiator overflow to expansion hose.
Very good Steering rack and hoses.
Gear linkage.
Throttle cable.
Very nice set of 6 branch headers.
Full exhaust that fits onto headers.
The engine is very responsive, has no split hoses so no vacuum leaks, pulls hard and doesnt smoke or use water/oil.

There are issues.
The rocker shaft oil spray bar is welded to the head on one side due to crack in thread, but sprays oil fine and doesnt interfere with head stripdown.

I rebuilt the engine, new water pump, cambelt, new distributor, new icv, new aftermarket pistons and all bearings and rings all stem seals etc, but the engine rattles (piston knock sound only thing i didnt do was small ends but id say piston slap), only on first 20 seconds of startup then its gone all day, never gotten any worse but up to you if you want to strip and investigate.

I dont have the steering column.

The prop guibo is totaled.

The aluminium gear linkage arm is snapped and bent due to the mot tester catching the exhaust but easily repaired with tig.

The exhaust is really nice sounding but it is bent in a way that it hangs a bit low in the center, can be sorted with a little bending.

The gearbox is quite heavy/clunky going into gears but never bothered me. Might just need a different oil i never bothered.

Gearbox rubber mounts have gone soft.

I dont have gearbox cross member.

I dont have the bracket for ignition coil.

Im looking for £1500 for the lot.

Please private message if interested and i can give you my number if you need to talk.

Collection from near cardiff south wales.

This advert is for the whole lot. If it doesnt sell i will be stripping it down and selling parts.

I have been completely honest about all issues im aware of and hopefully ive priced it cheap enough considering the issues.
