Car handles amazing, I've put a lot of work into the car to get it handling as neutral as it does. It's also really quick, and surprises the hell out of everyone. I pull on e46 m3s, 335s, Mustang GTs, etc. I've put a lot of time, effort and money into this car, and I want it to go to someone that'll take care of it.

Let me know if you're interested. I have a a few people interested already. Keep me posted.

you're going from a setup swapped e30 to a turbo e24? you might want to reconsider. you will probably be very disappointed in the handling, etc of the 6er.

Don't worry. I'm going to basically gut the 6er, should be between 3000-3200lbs when I'm done with it. Full coil-overs, poly-urethane bushings, upgraded steering box, sway bars, light weight wheels, BBK, full cage, etc.

I want a car that can reliably handle 500whp/500wtq, and also put down the power. It will handle really well, maybe not quite as good as my e30, but I will give up some handling for a MUCH better power band.

Dude your mind changes with the weather... Keep it and do the turbo!

It does, I guess I really embrace the Cancer sign lol.

I've been doing a lot of research, and I honestly am board of the e30. I've driven it daily for over 3 years, and I simply want to start a different project.

I've put too much into the e30 already, and I can build a sick 6 series for the money that I'll get for my e30. It may not handle quite as well, but it will handle great when I'm done with it. I will be gutting the 6 pretty good, putting my Sparco revs I have in it, coil-overs, sway bars, poly bushings all around, cambers/caster plates, custom fender flares and eventually a full cage. It will also have a CARB legal turbo kit on it that makes 308whp/398wtq on 9 psi. With ARP bolts, a tubular manifold, and a ball bearing GT35r I will easily make 500whp in a car that will put down the power MUCH better than my e30.

I've always liked the 6 series, and I eventually want to put an s62 with a 6spd, and e39 m5 brakes in the one that I build.

Don't worry, the shark I will build is going to be sinister. :twisted:

Ive driven and ridden in this car. Its fun. Much more so than the boat replacing it. Get it before he changes his mind.

[ZM Blue Devil]

damn nice. wont last, someone lucky will grab this bad girl asap.

You have no idea of what my plans are for the boat replacing it. It will be MUCH faster then my e30. :twisted:

Plus I can always build another e30 down the line. There are much fewer nicely done e24s rolling around. :roll:

[Danny]

Meh.

ill take you in the twisties

[White325is]

Weak, Turbo this bitch and be done with it.

[ck_taft325is]

If the heavens aligned and I could squeeze out $8,500, I would in a heart beat, man.

[e30polak]

That's ok. I'm going to build a 2002 or a 510 next, and both of those will rape you in the twisties. :p

It's not worth it for me Mike. I don't want to throw any more money at this car that I'll never see back. Plus, for my power goals, the e24 will be a much better choice.

With the turbo set-up on the 6, it's a factory Dinan option. Therefore I can legally smog the car, and still make fucking nutty numbers! :D

I will build another small car later on for pure track use, but for now I want something a little more baller, and a lot faster! :pimp:

You wouldn't get close to everything for that price. I'm looking for someone to buy everything with the car, and that will be the $11k price tag. If I need to part some stuff later to sell it, then maybe we can talk. ;)
