It looks as though the car may be turned into an endurance race car.
2800 lbs, S54 with 380 hp @ 8700 RPMS.

Nice, is it going to keep the transplanted n54 though?

Good choice for endurance motor. I'm amazed at how robust the s54 has proven to be. What series you going to endurance race?

I'm not 100% certain yet on the class. With multiple organizations running enduros these days I've got to study some rulebooks before any surgery.

Change of plans.

The car is for sale as is for $32K. This is very much my bottom dollar (and a freaking steal IMO)

I sold the steering wheel so the stock wheel is now back in the car.

This includes the Moton DA Super Sports (New @ $4,200), N55 mid pipe, CDV, and the grenaded engine and all it's parts. The top half is boxed up and in the trunk. I can't go into this in great detail but I need to sell the car yesterday. The car is located in Atlanta Georgia.

You should list this on EBay, Cars.com and Autotrader to get greater exposure Dan.

I did that a few years ago and will never advertise a car on those sites again. I received more scam attempts then I care to remember.

"I represent a billionaire prince who wants your car immediately. He is traveling the world and left me a check for 70K. I'll send you that check and you send me the difference..." Etc Etc.... Every day I got emails with obviously bad grammar and attempts at shenanigans. I'd rather keep it in the family (aka here).

The car is prime for someone who wants to drop an S65 in it or replace the engine themselves. The shop that is housing the car (a reputable BMW enthusiast owned company) has quoted a price of 10-11K for the completed job. For 42-43K someone could have a very good 1M.

I had the same issue with Autotrader, tons of scam offers. I cancelled the ad and got a refund.

Thanks. It is 99.9% sold.

To those who asked what I'll be replacing it with I am likely buying an E30 with a 4.4 V8 from a 5 series. Well built, 2400 lbs, LSD, 6 speed manual, and nearly 400 h/p. Oh, and 30 mpg highway.

Congrats on your future new car Dan. Your e30 reminds me of a really clean transplant I saw over at Mannhart Racing GmbH last Spring...
