rare- M Technic convertible S14 full M3 conversion

[s14realm3]

This is one of my pride and joys since 1997 when I brought it. This is a rare 1992 e30 325ic M-Technic white package 5 spd car. I am the 3rd owner. Car has never seen snow or salt, always been a California and then Georgia car. NO rust at all. I brought the car from the BMW dealer in 1997 ( I still have the sale flyer) and have been the owner since. In 2008, I converted the car to full E30 M3 spec. It has a S14-4 cylinder engine, S14 5 spd transmission, M3 drive shaft and guibo, M3 shifter, M3 brake system, M3 5 bolt hubs and wheel bearings, e30 M3 struts/Bilstein sport shocks/H&R springs. The S14 has been converted to MAF metering from Split Second, It dramatically made much more torque and more h.p. So why did I replace the M20 6 cylinder engine with a S14 4 cylinder engine: because this is a E30, my other BMW is a 1991 e30 M3 coupe so this made a great companion to that car, and I had all this spare e30 M3 parts to put into this car. So I made this a full e30 M3 spec except for the body. Why didn't I do a M3 body kit: because I didn't want to make a e30 M3 cabrio replica exactly like the factory. I have been into E30 M3 since 1991 so I am VERY familiar with E30s and E30 M3s. If you ask around the E30 m3 community, most people know who I am. By starting with the white package M-Technic car, this is also a rare find. The interior was redone in OEM BMW ///M cloth- very rare and expensive as I had to source this fabric from BMW Germany. The steering wheel is very rare from a BMW Z1. You will never find another e30 with this steering wheel. The cluster is from e30 M3 except for the speedometer which is still 325i. Radio is a CD43 in dash CD player from a Z3. There are so many upgrades I have done to this car, some small, some big, some underneath the car, some on the exterior. See all the pictures at my web site. Little details like M-Technic door sills, M-technic badges, M3 EVO 3 hood seals. Samco silicone coolant hoses, real BMW accessory-center console armrest/cup holder, E30 wind deflector, under chassis X stiffener brace... . ...The bad stuff: The electric top is now manual as the main rod is bent- I do a new rod that will go with the car. The top itself is in decent shape, no holes on the fabric- I do clean and treat it every 6 months with special top cleaner and spray. The rear plastic window does have 2 cracks but it is pretty clear as I use plastic polish to keep it clear every year. I am including a brand new top with rear window with the sale of the car. During the previous owner, the left quarter panel has been replaced with factory BMW panel. Paint and fit is perfectly matched with the rest of the car.The car has some scratches here and there. See the pictures on the link below.The BBS RS wheels have all been restored by Metro wheels. ALL 6 wheels were taken apart and each piece polished or painted and re-assembled. All 6 wheels have Khumo tires 225-45-16 tires in decent shape. 2 of the 6 wheels did hit a curb so it has curb rash on the outer rim. I am also including a 7th BBS RS wheel that is un-restored. So you will have 7 BBS RS wheels!!!The gas gauge is not accurate, engine oil leak @ chain tensioner, missing left front brake cooling duct

Craigslist ad is deleted. I'm assuming the car had been sold.
