That E30

[Tonys18t]

Anyone who knows me already knows that i have more cars than time at the moment, so i'm thinking of selling off a few of them.

1989 BMW 325i Sedan
.
One previous owner, 156k miles. California car.

Rebuilt motor, rebuilt ported and polished head, all new belts and hoses, new radiator etc, totally rebuilt automatic transmission with new torque convertor.

All new suspension with every component replaced, KW Coilovers, Vorshlag Motorsport camber plates, Treehouse eyeball control arm bushes, new control arms, ball joints, bushes and rubbers etc, RaceSkids skid plate. etc

17x10.5 / 17x8.5 RH Artec custom ordered 4x100 2 pc wheels 215/205 tires

Remus cat back exhaust with new cat and piping.

The bodywork and original 23 year old paint are not show condition but still in very presentable shape. pulled and rolled fenders, otherwise stock bodywork

The interior features Recaro C front seats with rears trimmed to match, no cracks on dash, power windows and locks, all electrics are operational, odometer works, AC is retrofitted and works great, the interior is in excellent condition.

Overall the car is in well above average condition, it’s not perfect, but you will be hard pressed to find an E30 as clean and well cared for. It runs and drives without fault and can be driven anywhere.

The car was built as a project in Performance BMW magazine and all the modifications have been documented in the mag over several issues.

I’m sure there’s plenty I’ve missed, but that’s the basics.

$7500 as is, $6500 with stock wheels.

Contact me here or email Tonys18t@aol.com

The car is located in SoCal.

How much would it cost to have a shop do a 5spd swap do you think?

[Tonys18t]

I've been quoted $1000 including the transmission. pedals, shifter, etc.
but i prefer the auto in this car to be honest.

[semaj4712]

Hmm where in SoCal are you located? Any idea what it makes hp with the port and polish?

[semaj4712]

Also, you say your selling off a few cars, what else do you have lol?

I'm in Northridge. just north of LA
We've never dynoed the car, it wasnt built as a race car or anything, I'm guessing it picked up a few horsepower after workinng the head, the head was off during the motor rebuild so porting and polishing it and adding a new cam made sense.

A 62 Impala ( now sold ). 71 Buick Riviera and a 58 Chevy Belair ( which should be sold this week ). I have a few others i'm hanging onto at the moment.

Cool man, unfortunately I ended up buying a car but GLWS looks great, btw let me ask you, any chance youd part with the seats...if not completely understand just love the way it works, what did you use for mounting the front seats, its not direct bolt on is it?

Seen this car in person, it's a lot cleaner that Tony's modest opinion.

Hope it goes to a good home man.
