Sold
I hate to do this, but I have to sell my beloved 5- speed convertible to help me pay for school. I bought this car as a fun little restoration project and though I did most of the things I wanted to, I still haven't exactly finished it.
Don't get me wrong, it is in perfect running condition, runs and drives strong and smooth, and just passed smog with flying colors about 3 days ago which means it is ready for the next owner. I even had the valves adjusted yesterday.
Here are a few facts about the car:
This car does carry a salvage title due to the engine replacement that happened a few years ago. But I assure you, this car has never been in any sort of accident or hit in any way. I still carry all the original body parts because if you haven't noticed, I did a full plastic bumper conversion with nothing but Genuine BMW OEM parts. I must say, this car has really come a long way since I first purchased it.
-Front and Rear Plastic Bumpers with Late Model Front Valence
-I went ahead and painted the rocker panels white as well to match the rest of the body. It looks so much better now.
-The clutch is brand new
-the starter is brand new
-the timing belt is relatively new
-the water pump is relatively new
-the spark plugs are brand new
-the tires are BRAND NEW! (205/50/16 all around)
-the wheels are new to me, though I purchased them second hand (BBS RS Replica wheels (ESM 002 Staggered 16x9 and 16x7.5))
-the iS lip is BRAND NEW
-just as the fog lights are BRAND NEW
-I also went ahead and put on a few nice BMW European parts like the bumper trim with no indicator lights and the rear plate filler.
-I just changed the oil, oil filter and air filter 150 miles ago and the motor really purrs.
Everything works and drives as it should, with the exception of the RPM Guage. It does not react and I believe the problem to be within the coil/spark plug area since that is where the RPM reading comes from. It can very well be the cluster as well, so I haven't ruled that out.<br>
The convertible top has a tear in the rear plastic windshield and will need replacing, but a convertible is meant to be driven with the top down so that isn't such a big deal. Regardless, I want to fully disclose any problems with the car before you call me and ask more questions.
The suspension is stock but with replaced OEM units. All control arms are in perfect condition with no rips in the boots anywhere, there are NO LEAKS from under the car which is really nice as well.
I deleted the 3rd brake light by putting on a trunk from a coupe and it really cleaned up the look of the car.
If I were to keep the car, I would refit the muffler to sit properly in the cutout of the rear valence and I would lower the car on Bilstein/H&R springs.
It rides and drives REALLY WELL for it's age and the fact that no really power modifications were done to it.
The chassis holds 203,xxx miles on it but the motor only holds about 97,xxx miles on it since it was replaced. The motor came from a 1991 325is and as per usual, the swap was professionally done and VERY well maintained.
Now for the best part, the interior. The car came from the factory with a very very rare interior color option. Cardinalrot Red. If you don't know your BMW E30's, this is the most sought after color combination ever. Not only that, but the front and rear seats have been reupholstered by the previous owner to absolute perfection ($1500 job). The only major blemish in this interior is one small crack in the dashboard which isn't even terrible, given it's location on the dashboard. Regardless, if there is an issue, I will address it. The manual top works as it should and doesn't leak water like most do.
The biggest imperfection on the exterior is the dent on the passenger side door. It's not terrible, but it is there.
Here are a few pictures:
This picture was taken by a good friend who knows his way around cameras. I take no credit for this photo.
This is the perfect summer cruiser and I don't have a problem delivering the vehicle a hundred miles or so for a small fee.
Take charge now, because this car will sell fast. It's not common to see a white on red BMW e30 convertible.
I am asking $5000 with the wheels/tires, and $4000 with bottle cap wheels.
Don't hesitate to call me at 1 916 410 0175 and inquire about this ad, or if you'd like, respond to this ad via PM and ask more questions. I will release the VIN on request. Thank you for looking!
Edit: I have a carfax report taken two days ago to disclose all the information about the title. There are no accidents on record (which is what I said previously).
