As title states, picked this up as a project mainly because the car was exceptionally clean; however, I REALLY miss my E30s and just can't do the E34 without at least having an E30 also. The E34 looks amazing done right, but I just want another E30. This car is in impeccable shape; however, it IS a slush box... I know I know... However, I had all intentions of going LS2 and selling the M60.
Good:
-Car is STRAIGHT (no real dings or dents other than the driver side rear door which has a small dent that doesn't show up well in pictures. A dentless repair guy could fix it in a few minutes.
-Interior is near perfect - ZERO rips or tears
-Engine is strong
-Slushbox shifts smooth
-With a good buff the car would look great... I waxed and clay barred which helped a lot, but a buff would really make things nice.
-AC colder than my E92 M3!
Bad:
-Front wheel bearings: luckily this is easy and fairly cheap for an E34... no pressing in or out
-No radio
I'll update the thread if I think of anything else.
Car really is nice, and would make an excellent daily or base car. Just broke 200K on the body, but the original owner claimed the engine only has around 150K... These things run forever if you keep up maintenance.
This HAS the updated block, not the one with issues.
Looking for a plastic bumper E30. Color (interior or exterior) doesn't matter; but really don't care for red interior. Would consider a clean diving board car. Must be manual.
NOT interested in Autos, 4 drs or Cabs... Just a personal preference.. The only exception would be a super clean cab, but I doubt you'd be able to change my mind and make me interested... though there are a few out there.
I have cash to put on top for the right trade; within reason. In other words, I'd love to have the 88 S54 car that is posted here, but I can't swing that kind of cash right now. The wife would have my ass. I'd also love an S50 car, but don't see that as a huge possibility unless it's in the 7500 or less range...
