Hi Folks,

Up for sale is a 1984 BMW E30. It belonged to a friend, who moved away. I have had it in my garage for a few months now, and it's time to get it to an owner who has time to fix it, or part it out and sent to a junk yard. The car passes smog (when running), and is a barrel of fun on the race track.
The car was purchased about 1.5 years ago from this forum post: http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=222066
The owner (and his generous friends) spent some great number of hours making it smog legal, and then two abbreviated track sessions (one at Laguna Seca, one at Thunderhill). At thunderhill, the #1 bearing overheated and spun, creating a bearing or rod knock. The car was towed home, taken apart, and the damage was discovered. Now I don't have time to finish it, so my loss is your gain. Replace the #1 bearing and you have a smog legal race car.
Here's the plan: You either want this whole car because you have time and ambition, or you want some part of it because your brain is damaged in just the correct way to make you love this car and cars like it.
If you want the whole car, email this craigslist posting with subject "E30, WHOLE CAR". State your offer and some way to contact you in the email. You can also make an offer for simply buying whatever's left after it's parted out, if I decide to go that way.
If you want a part of the car, email this craigslist posting with subject "E30, PART - <insert part name>" Example: "E30, PART - Steering Rack". Include your offer in the email (you'll pay actual shipping cost, so don't factor that in). If any part is still attached to the car (like the suspension), you must remove it (or financially persuade me to do so).
At the end of day on 6/14/2013, I'll be deciding whether to part the car out or sell it to someone as a whole. I'll be contacting everyone very promtply, which ever decision I make. I promise you I'm ready to let this car go, so there won't be any dilly dallying.
Here are the highlights of parts. Everything is in working order unless otherwise noted. It's a complete car, so if there's something you need, it's probably here!
2.7 stroker engine - a "super eta". 325e lower end, 325 i top end. #1 main bearing is bad. Engine is out of the car. 885 head (fully rebuilt with gasket match and port and polish 5 angle valve grind)
