I am getting an S50 swapped into my '94 325, so I will no longer have a need for these parts. Please help me find them a home! PayPal preferred to will_boyce@hotmail.com.

1) Turner Motorsport Chip - SOLD
Check the Turner site to make sure this works with your car:
http://www.turnermotorsport.com/html/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=413-325

Chip is in great shape, no broken or bent pins, etc. I liked it so much I am going with a Turner setup for the S50 as well.

2) ECIS CAI for 1992-1995 323/325/M3 - SOLD
http://www.ecisbmw.com/DMCart/product.php?productid=16186&cat=252&page=1

I've had this intake for about 35k miles and it is still in good condition. I have always treated the filter and am also including a K&N filter charger kit in the sale. The filter is in good shape, but the shield has a few minor blemishes (detailed in the pic below). Also, some of the paint has chipped off over the years, but nothing major. And all of it can be seen in the pics below.

Filter charger kit also included. Almost new (used twice).

The blemishes are shown in red.
1) There are two tiny holes (barely visible to the naked eye) in the corner, where the small red circle is.

2) The bottom of the shield is a little malformed. But this will not have an effect on functionality or installation. It is just a result of me taking it out and reinstalling it over the years. I normally take it out for my smog test. I know this CAI is CARB certified, but I don't feel like dealing with the hassle of a bad tech.

3) AA Chip for 1993-1995 325i/is - $40 shipped - Status: Sale Pending
http://www.activeautowerke.com/software/main.php

I bought this AA chip a long time ago for my 325. This chip worked fine, but one time when I was taking it out of my ECU, I broke a pin (smog test strikes again). If you are an EE type, or work with RC cars or electronics, you could just solder on another pin.

4) S50 Cams - SOLD
Too good to be true? Maybe. I purchased these off of another forum member that had a '95 M3 with 80k miles. When the cams came, I noticed the intake cam had a small gouge on it. Located on the 2nd lobe of the first set, for cylinder number 1. The gouge is approx 3/16 of an inch long, and 1/16th of an inch at its' widest point.

If you search around you may find some of my old posts about this. Some members said it was no problem because the nick was on an area of the lobe that don't touch the journals. Other said they wouldn't use them. To be honest, the nick isn't that big, but it still freaked me out. A couple of times I decided to just say screw it and install them. But I never got around to it.

Other than that, the cams look OK. Both cams have some scoring but most do. Given the condition of the cams, I would prefer local buyers, so that you could come and check them out first. We could also arrange for you to take them to your mechanic if you'd like. If you aren't local and need shipping it won't cost much because I have most of the packing materials already.

If you are interested, PM or email me and I can send you more pics of the cams. Here I am just including the ones that show the damage.

5) Front and Rear Swaybars from a 1994 325is - Free + local buyers only
No pics for these because really, who wants to see a picture of 13 year old stock swaybars? I don't mean to offend you if you did :) Last year I upgraded to H&R's, so these are just taking up space in my garage. I am praying somebody out there might be interested.

That's it for now. If you have any questions please PM or email me.

Next month I will have a M50 engine and manual tranny available for sale. They both have 192k miles on them. Compression numbers to follow. If you think you might be interested, let me know. We can arrange for you to take a look at it while it is still in my car.

Thanks for looking.

Hmm. I think I will take either the cams or the chip. Is the turner chip for a stock m50 or for the cams? I'd really like to get both cause the price is too good to pass up. I will probably buy one or the other though. paypal?

The chip is for a stock M50. For S50 cams you'd need this chip: http://www.turnermotorsport.com/html/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=413-252. Let me know which you'd like.

And yes, PayPal is preferred. I'll update the OP to reflect that. Thanks.

If you are in Fremont, and if you are sure you want S50 cams, come on over and check 'em out! I'm in Sunnyvale but work in Foster City. Let me know if you want to see them.

My friend will be in 99501 at May 25.
If the cams can be shipped to there before that day, i decide to purchase them.
My car is 325is, it has been upgraded to 3.0L, so i need S50 cams to match it.
Thanks,

If you PayPal'd me the full amount tonight I could ship it out tomorrow and get that done. Let me look at the shipping costs and I'll send you a PM with the total amount.

Hey dinodad,
I sent you an email last night around 8-9pm PST, so you should have already received it?

Anyway, this morning the original buyer finally came through with the payment. So the cams are now sold.
