So heres my story..
I've always wanted to own a 24v e30. My first e30 was a stock 325i auto tragic. Sad I know.
I was determined to own one, specifically as s5x e30. I've been a lurker on here for some time now and have been hoarding parts for my "one day e30"
A few months down the road my timing belt snapped and destroyed the head. Didn't want to deal with it so sold it and bought myself an e36 DD.
A few more months went by, and after saving my pennies I was finally able to take the plunge in the 24 valve e30 world. I was really looking into buying one that was already swapped. Me being 22 years old with no mechanical experience and no garage, swapping one myself wasn't looking to pleasant.
But then this happened….
s50 swapped e30 that wasn't finished and owner began parting it out. Drove 4 hours to look at her, and after not being able to hear her run I decide to walk away, very disappointed.
A few MORE months went by
I did some contemplating on life, and decided F$#% it. I'm going to build myself an e30. Called the owner of the s50'ed e30, haggled a bit, and drove 4 hours to pick her up. The owner removed some parts prior to me arriving, so we had to haggle some more ;D
All in all, I only paid for the s50.
But I got s50/zf,m5 clutch, short shifter kit, ecu tuned with trm chip, the whole rolling shell, and a trunk full of parts. :D
