    1991 318iT - E30 TOURING - RESTORED/UPGRADED

    ebay auction starting at 7:00pm 6/25 west coast time auction number: 280363193032

    Up for sale is my E30 Touring. I have recently completed the project and have decided to move on from the car world for a bit and into other things...

    The car started as a 1991 318i but as you will see has been completely transformed...

    Links are as follows:

    All of my pics can be found here for the build: http://s300.photobucket.com/albums/nn4/nhskibm/Touring/
    and here shortly after bodywork completion: http://s300.photobucket.com/albums/n...ng%20Complete/

    Some HDR Pics in Boston : http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum....php?t=1200081

    The specs of the car:

    Exterior:
    - Genuine Mtech II bodykit used sides/door pods New Old Stock Front and rear with all new mounting hardware all around.
    - New (used) doors, new fenders Euro Style OE, all rust removed from places it was started to permeate, new sunroof panel (used)
    - New BMW windshield (not aftermarket)
    - New fogs, new turn signals (clear), all red tails.
    - GENUINE 16" Alpina Wheels

    Interior:
    - CD43 Radio Upgrade with working RDS
    - Mtech II (new) Steering wheel
    - One piece Mtech Lighted shift knob/boot (new)
    - Custom Interior - OE Sport Seats recovered in 'euro' OE vinyl - I chose vinyl A. I like the perforated look and B. It wears FAR better - the perforated is NLA as I got the last 10 yards - no updated pics on this yet the one interior pic you'll see is a mixture of the old and new. I'll try to get another this weekend.
    - All broken/worn pieces replaced - rear carpet, compartments, boot/dog cover, etc - new when I could or used from the UK and Germany

    Cluster:
    - Originally a german car the cluster was in KM. I found a used US cluster that was 250 mi MORE than the km one (when converted to Mi) I drove the car around with tools until the clusters matched and then swapped in the US cluster (photo documented) so it reads actual chasis mileage! Currently at 152,000 miles

    Suspension:
    - New control arms and bushings
    - New billy sports
    - Bav custom springs rated for Touring - OK but a little too soft for my tastes - I'd like to do H+R and may work with Turner to make it happen.
    - New upper mounts (F+R) and other miscellaneous HW pieces.

    Drivetrain
    - Non Vanos M50 - 68k when installed
    - 11.5lb UUC flywheel with m3/m5 clutch kit
    - Getrag 265 5 speed tranny
    - 3.23 LSD from an M Roadster with 50k when installed
    - TMS Underdrive pulleys (alt, WP, PS)
    - TMS/Conforti custom chip for flywheel
    - Z3 1.9 Short throw shifter

    Exhaust
    - Ansa sport exhaust
    - Custom Magnaflow Cat and center pipe mounted to M50 manifolds

    Misc.
    - Wiper arms
    - Painted trim
    - Roundels
    - Etc

    Paperwork
    - Current Mass Title - with Euro VIN #WBAAG71060ED83291
    - Original German title
    - Original service records
    - All receipts for the build - I'm somewhere between $35k and $36k including the purchase of the car.

                    Also, you are a cock with tacky taste.

                    That is all.
