In the summer of 2010 I went to a BMW CLUB lapping event at Mont Tremblant, Quebec. A few friends that were taking part in the event had two E30 and my cousin with a MINI JCW. I had never been for a spin in a E30 but always appreciated the beauty. That sexy front end. Instantly admired the dashboard layout and the drive, SOLD! Saved up some bread and after 4-5 months on searching/seeing different e30s, I fell upon this.
I paid 3500$ with CLEAN Black leather interior
230 000 KM-142 925 Miles
Rebuilt calipers, new brakes, brake lines,fluid
Billy sports with H&R "lowering" springs
New rad
Tranny Mounts/ Flush
Crack free dash
These are a just few things replaced from previous owner. I was given a folio with the bills.
I decided to start buying parts so the car could be repainted.
Found clean doors from a local add. I went to see the seller, he was fed up of having these parts in his garage, so he sold all this for 100$
Got fed up of the MTECH 1
I needed wheels right? Got these shipped to me.
Avez Type A: 16x7.5 ET 20
16x9 ET 15
I got a used front bumper from a pick and pull for 20$
Spoke to Levent and got, Euro bumper trim all around with Euro grills and new front/back emblems. Thanks for the Tshirt.
Late September, I sent out the wheels to be straightened/restored.
Love the outcome.
Now that the car is in storage, I was suffering from a dilemma. Have the car painted or touch the mechanical side. Choice? Motor. A good looking car isnt gonna make it run better. Spoke to a friend which is specialist in VW/AUDI about taking part in this build. He agreed due to the fact that we''re good buds and because he wants to branch out his knowledge into BMW. R3V is the major part of my knowledge on this swap. Im still learning and reading builds every day. Thank you for all the time and effort people take on this forum. Here's what we will be working.
1999 328 M52 from a soft top with 172 000 KM.
Quickly pulled out the tools and started to strip this thing.
A little clean up with the wire wheel
