          yup, thats the one I was thinking of. Its a great car to get started in. M3 seats, already has a 24v swapped in. slicktop. the issues are so easy to deal with. Biggest downside is that its the 2nd worst of the 24v swaps out there, but going from a M42 to a M50 is a big jump still.

            It's going to be a hard sell to anyone outside the E30 community.. But then again, I do hope it gets all the dollars because it just makes all of my E30's worth more..

              I want to say that that's the first time I've seen the M3 roof antenna on a regular 4 door e30. I really like it and will probably steal the idea if I can find one.

                You can buy them new still. ECS stocks a full kit

                  I like my wheels. As far as the dent, I wish they would have used different verbiage than "fist sized"

                  I have high hopes waiting to be dashed quickly.

                  The exhaust is the biggest issue for me (hence why I never fixed it). I just don't want to cut the rear valence for the typical 2 pipe install and I don't want some random magnaflow welded in there. If it comes down to it, the AC and PS leak I will fix as a condition of the sale. AC is the easiest as the car had a perfectly functioning system prior to the swap. The wiring is there for the idle bump and the fan. Lines just need to be mated together.

                  My car had a BMW car phone when I bought it. They had rigged the M3 roof antenna to it for reception. However it was missing when I bought it and it took me a while to figure out what exactly it was other than a Hirschman of some kind.

                    Ive learned when it comes time to selling cars, the less mods the better. I dont know what the plans are after the sale, but it may have been a better idea to list it with stock wheels and remove those. . In this case, a stock set of basketweaves probably would've done more to help. Wheels and choices of mods are more polarizing. I wish you the best in the sale, one of the reasons I never bothered to list my car there was because I have such a polarizing car that I doubted I would get the $$$$$ I wanted.

                    Good luck!

                              I stand corrected.

                              Congrats on the sale.
