    FS:1991 5spd 318is brilliantrot :::warning, picture heavy:::

    It's back up!!!


    Background info: I purchased the car back in 2009 w/ 217xxx miles from a member who said to have purchased it off of Levent. Since purchasing the car, I got all the gasket in the motor changed down at my friend's BMW dealership in GA (drove down there) and had him to open everything up to see what else was needed. I also had the brakes caliper rebuilt, tie rod changed, and rotors replaced while I was down there. After all that, I made the 12 hour drive back up without a hitch.

    Reason for Selling:I'm selling my car due to financial reason. I can't afford to keep two cars at the moment and I'm afraid if I keep the e30, I'll just continue to start collecting parts.

    About the Car: The car is running great but the check engine light comes on once in a while. I've looked into it and I believe it's the O2 sensor which I have already purchased and plan to change when I have the time. The car odometer stopped working back in the end of September of 2011 at 227xxx miles. I don't drive much since I lived on campus so I believe I probably put on around 4k miles since then. The car was inspected last month and passed with flying colors so no worries. The car still pulls with what little power it have left.

    In 2010, some waffleswaffleswaffleswafflestard who was drunk reversed into the passenger side and dented the door and slightly damaged the rocker panel. Instead of letting another e30 go to waste, I got the problem fixed by VACmotorsports as soon as the tard's insurance company sent me the check. VAC did an amazing job and I'm very glad that they're close by. Unfortunately at the time when I got the car fixed, I didn't have money to spray the entire car so the passenger side looks better than the rest of the car but overall, the car isn't bad.

    Work that have been done while the car in my possession:
    -Driver Brake caliper rebuilt (01/2010)
    -Rotors replaced w/ brembo blanks (01/2010)
    -Driver ball joint replaced (01/2010)
    -CABs replaced (01/2010)
    -All gasket replaced (01/2010)
    -A/C 134a conversion & recharged by VAC but I think they condenser is going bad because it's squealing when the AC button is pressed (07/2010)
    -Aux fan resistor (07/2010)
    -Water pump/Fan clutch/thermostat replaced (10/2010)
    -Spark plugs replaced (12/2010)
    -RB brake pads w/ less than 200 miles (06/2012)

    The car will come with...
    -2 sets of wheels. Stock weaves (w/ caps) that needs tires along with bottle caps w/ snow tires (still have a lot of life).
    -a bunch of receipts
    -Service booklets
    -a box of miscellaneous parts
    -Euro plate holder
    -6k (i think) HID installed
    -3k HID kit for fogs
    -IS front lip that was painted w/ plasti-dip
    -Bilstein lowering springs (installed)


    I know I'm missing a few other things so I'll edit as I remember. The Ronal LS and roof rack is not included!

    The asking price is $3200 obo.

    :::EDIT:::
    After Reading this and viewing the pictures, please read the up in post #10 for the new update. Thank you.



    This one is with snow tires.




















    Rear seats are still in great condition. I rarely driver others in my car.


    The front portion of the sunroof is sagging but everything else is still good.


    Driver's seat is pretty worn and there's a tear on the side bolster.


    Silver rings around the gauges and needle been painted red.



    There are 2 cracks on the dash.



    Passenger seat is still in pretty good condition

                    So in mid October I went my friend's dinner party and came out to see that someone reversed into my car and got away with it.:hitler: Whoever the prick is, he bent the hood and created a nice dimple on the passenger side fender. Also, the high beam on the passenger side and grill needs to be replace. Other than that, the car is mechanically sound besides the CEL comes on due to an O2 sensor (I have it and will throw it in). I was planning to fix up everything myself before posting it up again but I just have the time.

                    I haven't really driven the car in months ever since the hit and run but I do start it up every week and drive around before parking in the driveway again.

                    Here are the pictures of the front end of the car now.











                    New Asking Price is $2000 OBO


                    Any question, just shoot me a PM. I can show you the car in person on most days, just as long as you let me know in advance.
