    1985/91 facelift E30 ReBuilt S50 powered tons of mods

    I have a 1985 BMW e30 with 165k miles that has been my daily driver and then track (5 events) car for the past 6 years. It started its life as a 1985 stock e30 from newyork, The body is a 5 out of 10 black schwartz with about 10 golf ball dents here and there that could be pulled and the only real rust through the body is a silver dollar piece in the left rear battery box and the right rear battery box has been patched(notorious rust spots on most e30's from up north ) and the interior has been removed except the driver door cards, headliner dash, and center console. I still have all the interior pieces which are black vinyl which are in fantastic shape and a new center switch panel. 12 button obc works and it is a condition of 10 out of 10. It has the late style front valance with a splitter and has the rear style valance spot welded on along with plastic bumpers front and rear, with hartge rep. side skirts.

        you will get the m3 wing and if you want I can also include a hartge wing and a mtech 2, I have so many e30 parts that will go with this car, the race wing is just that it gets taken off when i get home from track events so WIngs are no problem:-P

        thanks for the kind words I just wish I had the money to devote this car to the track

                    Am I missing something with the whole "no ebrake" thing?...

                      E30 M3 swap, usually have problems with the ebrake. I think it either needs to longer or no hook-ups

                        Hey, looks great dude! Do you have any rear end shots? What valance did you use on the rear?

                            thanks, yea the car gets on the street every once and a while pretty much if i am going to my garage but i get pulled over almost everytime i bring it out

                            Big Brake kit excepts a ebrake cable but like i said, this was going to be a retardedly agressive street car mainly track car.

                              valance is off a 1990 e30 325i, cut off a junk car that had front damage and sprayed it, then welded it on.
