Chris Harris<\/a> is selling his 1996 BMW E34 wagon on Collecting Cars<\/a> with no reserve. The car was built by David Olias at Classic MD Autos<\/a> in 2012. He started with a 1996 BMW 525i and installed a 3.6 L S38 inline-six from a BMW E34 M5. These make around 311 horsepower and 266 lb-ft (360 Nm) of torque from the factory. Behind the motor sits a Getrag five-speed manual transmission and limited-slip differential. Chris spent \u00a34,729 ($6,551) on rust and paint repair under his ownership. The interior features BMW M5 seats and gauge cluster but no air conditioning<\/strong> or radio unit. <\/p>\n
