    I was looking for a clean vert to do a s50 swap... Your car is what I'm looking for but I need to find money first
    save the time and money and buy my car :) this will be a lot cheaper than trying to find a nice clean cab body to do a swap into...

    a nice clean mint cab e30 stock is going for atleast $7-$8k in my area (no rust, no body damage, no paintwork needed, no missing bits or pieces, clean engine bay)
    s50 w/ tranny swapped in with all the parts and access. min. $5k
    95 m3 rack swapped in $700-800
    used schnitzer exhaust with m3 mid pipes modified to fit atleast $500-$1000
    3.46LSD - $300-$400
    suspension, brakes, all other refreshing - $1000-1500
    wheels and adapters - cost me close to $5k to build

    on the low end of it you would probably pay $14500 without the wheels, and closer to $20k with the wheels and if your interior wasnt mint, budget another $500-1000..
    on the upper end of the scale this car would cost $22k or more to reproduce...

          Gorgeous car. Should not be a problem to import into the US. Its on the approved list of non-conforming vehicles. Think you have to go through a registered importer though.

              I cannot buy this, but you should take about 100 more pictures of it including a lot of the interior. Post them up here for me to drool.

                /\ if you buy it you won't need the pictures to drool over :).

                Someone must want a well sorted slightly moded cab ;)

                  I'm surprised it hasn't sold yet considering the amount of local buyers that were looking at my vert last year when I put it up for sale.

                  My 1989 325i vert (sold)...this is Nina

                  My 1991 M5 (sold)... this is Veronica

                    Love the 997, but actually about to sell it. Expanding family makes this a little impractical.

                      I really haven't advertised it much locally (other than the bcbbimmers link to this ad), I was thinking about putting it on CL...

                            God, wish this thing went back up for sale a month from now when I'm ready to buy, looks amazing, and a pretty rare car as well. I would LOVE to have it.

                              This is a beautiful car. Congrats on sale. I've been thinking about selling mine. No swap but tons of other goodies...

                              Hope you don't mind me piggybacking your thread, OP but I was doing research on prices and saw your car was sold. Great deal for all you had in her!



                              I'll delete if this bothers you but I wanted other interested parties to see my car.
