1994 BMW 3-Series 600whp Turbo Forged internal LS1 T56 swapped 1994 325i Sedan E36 LS

Description

I'm looking to sell my prized 1994 325i with a turbo/forged internal LS1. It makes 600whp on low boost and it is an absolute animal. The chassis has ~190k miles, the engine/transmission has ~2k miles. I've been an e36 enthusiast for years and this is my 5th one that I have owned. I bought this car N/A LS1/T56 swapped from https://millerracingdevelopment.com/ in 2017. I drove it for a year or so until the original LS1 developed light rod knock at 50k (pinched oil pickup o-ring which is a fairly common factory GM issue). The motor was then taken apart and everything was gone through with a fine-tooth comb. I decided to build an entirely new engine and go with forged pistons, rods and all aftermarket parts. While doing all of this I figured I might as well add a custom turbo system for fun.
I've always loved to tinker and it has been my project over the last couple years. I have gone through and over time ironed almost every single kink/bug. I don't like to skimp on anything and almost every single part of the build is brand new top of the line and AC Delco. This is most likely the nicest e36 LS turbo that has been for sale and definitely not a junkyard/budget build by any means. The color is a sought after Mauritius blue and everything has been converted to M3 spec or better/reinforced. The car is at a point where it can be easily set up for whatever racing discipline you desire whether that be drag, drift, half mile etc. I only took it for drives once or twice a week and to car meets/shows. I have an insane amount of money and time into this car and whoever gets it is going to be getting an amazing deal.

While the car is close to perfect there are a couple small details worth mentioning:
The exterior does have a few dings and chips from being a 27 year old chassis.
No A/C or heat.
Factory fuel level sender only reads 3/4 tank when it is indeed full (happened after fuel system upgrade float may be obstructed).
Small paint bubbling by the driver rear tail light (last picture).
Passenger side front window clicks when it is down all the way ( I will include in a new regulator.)
Some slight rust under battery location from a previous owner having a leaky battery (which is why I have an aftermarket battery tray/holder and Optima battery)
This car is not for inexperienced or new drivers.
Whoever gets this car is going to have an absolute blast!
Serious inquiries only.
Buyer is responsible for arranging the shipping. Unless you are local to me I would plan to bring a trailer.
