I originally bought the car March of 2009, from an elderly man in Oregon. It was bone stock except new struts and springs. It had 196K on it at the time. Over the course of 2 years I put 20K miles on it with buying coilovers and the wheels on it now. At 220k I felt the itch to do a famous 24v swap in to the E30. I wanted a more modern feel to the car with better fuel economy. While keeping the classic vintage styling of an E30. Once the swap was completed I have had to do virtually nothing to the M52 minus maintenance and a few sensors. The entire swap has been fantastic and no corners cut. Over the next 3 years the E30 was daily driven. It has been on numerous trips around the northwest and Canada once. It has attended the Leavenworth and Port Townsend cruise 4 years now. Up until a few months ago I have stopped daily driving it and, using my truck as a daily. Usually twice a week I will take it for a cruise, and ponder if I really want to sell it. But the time has come and, I thrive to find someone who will enjoy it as much as I have.
It was featured in Preformance BMW June of last year. It recived 4 full pages of the history of the car and a bit about myself. Having it featured makes me very proud for all of the work that has gone in to it. I have all the receipts from what I have bought, and I made an excel spreadsheet with totals all the way down to every bolt.
Last year at the end of August the E30 was rear-ended. With E30's not having a high value to insurance companies, it now has a branded title. The main damage was the plastic bumper and the rear valence. I had a rear bumper repainted and replaced the tail light. I will gladly show anyone interested the pictures right after the accident. Feel free to ask any questions about the damage.

Cons
Overall this E30 is in incredible condition and is a real head turner. I know every inch of this car, and it is up to my very high standards. Everything feels very tight driving it, and the M52 pulls along well. I know I have missed a few parts to put on the lists. Feel free to ask any questions and I will get back to you quickly.

$8000 This price includes the 5th wheel and spare parts.
I'll let the photos do the talking
