@garagekeptmotors – It appears to blow cold, but it is winter here in Michigan and the showroom isn't that warm so can't honestly tell if it's blowing cold. ...
Thanks !
@Mcoupes – So does the ac work ? I know parts are there but does it work ? ...

@garagekeptmotors – Runs great! Had it out at a track day event last year. Drove it 45min away, tracked it all day, and drove it back with no issues. I don't see any oil leaks on the ground where it is parked and the motor swap was done by a professional. If you wanted to dial it in more, I would recommend doing weight scales to transfer the weight more evenly and install more aggressive front brake pads. ...
Any oil leaks underneath the car some spots look damp but it’s hard to tell in the pics ?
BID: $9,500
@garagekeptmotors – Someone asked if it has AC. It does have all the factory AC components. ...

@Joshw02 – 210 rwhp seems very low for a supercharged S50, that’s roughly what they make in stock form without forced induction. ...
Great point! I looked up the stock motor ratings and its about 240 hp stock and about 30-40 hp loss for RWHP. I assumed that the Dyno sheets were after the supercharger, but I am not 100% sure. The previous owner couldn't verify either. We have another track prepped (gutted, lightweight race seats) black S52 swapped BMW E30 owned by one of GKM owners and that one always felt quicker, even beat a friends 2020 GT350R in a drag race. The week prior to taking this white one to the track we had a mechanic do an oil change, check the brakes, and a tune up if needed. He found that one of the charge intake tubes was disconnected so we had no boost. Once he hooked that back up and we got our boost back (5-6psi), the car was considerably quicker. We did a rolling race on the way to the track with our black NA S52 E30 against this white SC E30 (with a passenger, full interior, cooler, and folding chairs) and the white E30 pulled on the black E30. We were impressed with the supercharger. So I think that Dyno was either pre-boosted OR when one of the intake tubes weren't hoooked up. Sorry about the lengthy response.....
@ulugbekov – How are the buckles and seatbelts for both the passenger and driver seats like? Do they work/buckle? ...
Yes the OEM seatbelts for the driver and passenger work fine. They latch as they should.

@garagekeptmotors – The previous owner mentioned that he thought it had stock internals, but didn't know the mileage. We have a Dyno sheet showing that it was at 210 RWHP on a mild tune from Turner at 5-6psi of boost. ...

@Christophercc – What transmission is in it? ...
Good question, the transmission is from E36 as well, Getrag.
