Today is a sad day indeed, one of my favorite e30s is for sale......GLWS

[Schnitzer318is]

still for sale?

Yes, and no. The power steering failed completely now since going over a raised manhole cover (bad road). I am going to replace the rack before showing the car. Letting the thread drop down on the list until I fix the items I would want fixed as a buyer.

You never know. You wouldn't be the first to offer a wagon as trade in. PM me details and I'll let you know. Chances aren't great, but with a kid on the way... you never know.

Thanks for the kind words. That's what my buddies say. Can't believe I'm willing to let it go. I would bet though I still have at least a few months with her since I have some repairs to do on it.

[expressfish]

thought this would be gone already !! sure would look purty with some new shoes on her;D

[PRF3CT]

still available.?

[Schnitzer318is]

Still available. Had it dyno'd again and did some more tuning, upped the boost as well. Runs even better now than before. Also bought 4 new tires for it as traction was non existent in first and second anymore with the old ones.

Bought new front windshield but still need to install it... and the steering rack still needs to be replaced. I am still deciding which rack I want to put in it.

Definitely available to be seen... I have been driving it around with no issues, with the exception of the lack of power steering of course.

Edit: Expressfish... those wheels would certainly look nice on her, but will have to leave that to the new owner... unless I end up keeping it of course due to lack of sale. ;)

[Schnitzer318is]

Windshield replaced, boost/vac econometer gauge installed, cleaned up gauge wiring, fixed oil pressure gauge not reading, new 225/45/16 tires installed, and a few other minor things done. Price HIKE coming soon... lol.

Told you I wasn't in a hurry to sell. ;)

What did she put down??

[Schnitzer318is]

192whp and 220trq... will find the dyno sheet, not sure if those are the exact numbers off hand.

I think it will put down more now though... I'm running @ 11.5psi now and on those runs I was only @ 10psi. I keep tinkering with it because it is such a fun car... plus I want to hit that magic 200rwhp on a dyno sheet.

[dpmcdonald]

Very nice! Love me some turbo m42! Are you running a FMIC? How much weight did the turbo add to the front end?

[Schnitzer318is]

Yes I am running an Ebay FMIC stealth mounted behind what would be an automatic's trans cooler grill.

Total weight added I would guess to be about 30lbs. Never measured though. It might be a little less, or a little more... having not weighed the stock air box, MAF, etc. stuff that was removed.

Well, time has come. Our second child is due in January and I have driven this car maybe 10 times this year. Seriously. According to my Fuellog data... the last three fillups: 9/13/2016 (17.99mpg, 188mi, 10.45gal of premium), 8/14/2015 (21.72mpg, 217mi, 9.99gal of premium), and 5/7/15 (11.08gal of premium).

As before, we don't have to sell it, but I don't want it to sit any longer. The same info on the first page applies to it currently in terms of the Pros/Cons with the exception of the driver's seat boltser as I had it reupholstered. So now there are no tears/cracks on the interior seats.

As such, I am going to put a price of $5000 on it to sell it quickly. This is a no negotiation price. Seriously, none. If you have any questions or need any info let me know. I will answer as quickly as possible. Will also try to get another video of it running. I drove it a little over a month ago and it still drives great. I am updating the first post as well.

Thanks for looking.

This should be gone quickly. Beautiful car. GLWS

Such a great deal!!! You really should keep it!

Such a great deal!!! You really should keep it!

Life, kids, and lack of room make this hard to do I'm sure.

I've had a 6 speed 540i(e39), Corvette z06(C5), and currently have my 24v procharged e30 vert. All of these are/were great, fast and exhilarating cars, but somehow are never as much fun to drive as this one. To anyone considering this car, drive it, that will be enough to convince you.

Sorry it has to go Joe. Look foward to future builds.
