Recently purchased this Compact Ti Sport as a replacement for my E30 which was broken up sold off. I did however keep the M52 engine from it as I had one of these in mind :D

Spec is Dakar Yellow with full black leather interior and is very good condition.

At present it needs to do daily driver duties, so just getting a few niggles tidied. Then in the summer it will receive the M52 and probably Eibach springs and ARB's. Nothing as full on as my E30 was. Just a tidy useable car that will keep up with most and enjoyable to drive.

Hey Chris :thumb:
Not sure on box yet, i've got an E30 318is box that was due to go into the E30 as the old sport box rattled like a bag of spanners !

Going to depend on Diff, my 3.73 LSD diff is noisy and needs a rebuild, but I do have a 2.91 CW&P. Wil have to wait and see what the verdict is when I let Gareth have a look :D

Engine was still doing well and will get (ab)used again :thumb:
