    CA: 1989 BMW 325I M30B34 Alpine White

    Selling my E30, all the specs are below.

    Im not very active on the forums but please feel free to send me an email with any questions you may have.

    My asking price is $6500

    hybrid_eg@hotmail.com

    Little background on the car..i bought it stock 3 years ago with a plan of doing a complete restoration as I always admired this particular model as one of my favorite BMW models growing up. This particular car has 3 owners, California car with No Accidents and Clean title! Original Paint, body panels, suspension and interior. Everything that had been replaced is listed below, everything else is original. The air conditioning is not connected, all original lines are still there, It's possible to make it work with the correct components. For local buyers I can refer you to a place if you wish to get it done.

    Its a clean E30 in practically stock shape looking for a good home! Essentially I have done everything to factory spec with no aftermarket parts other than exhaust and air filter. Car is an absolute blast to drive. I am selling it due to a new family addition and do not have time to dedicate to it and finish it the way I imagined. The vehicle has current California registration and smog will be provided for the CA buyer.

    The best part is that this car is in perfect form for someone to take over and go any route they wish (Your choice of suspension, wheels, and additional modifications), the most important part had been done and that is the drive train!

    Around 3000 miles had been put on the car since the rebuild was completed.

    Install was done by CASTRO MOTORSPORTS in Los Angeles.


    Body:

    • Original 1989 BMW 325i Auto 171,617K Miles on chassis with original suspension
    (I would recommend fitting this vehicle with new Springs & Shocks)
    No rust on bottom of chassis, all OEM bushings, rides smooth, seller can upgrade suspension / wheels of his/her choice and be done with the car :-)
    Engine:
    • Fully rebuilt 3.4L M30B34 8:9:1 Compression
    (As you can see from the photographs nothing was left out, Block and Head were dipped in solvent following the honing & polishing all the parts, bolts and gaskets were replaced by OEM parts from BMW. This engine runs and sounds like new)
    New OEM fuel pump
    New Water pump, chain + sprocket

    Transmission:

    • Original BMW 535 5-Speed
    • Brand New E28 M5 OEM Clutch (Front and Rear Seals Replaced)

    Rear End:

    • 1989 325i Auto Rear Diff LSD 4:10 (Short gears)
    (Worked great for me as I did not have to spend a lot of time on the highway, if you want to have higher gearing I suggest getting a 3.75 from a Manual 325is model, they can be purchased for around $200 and bolt right up)

    Interior:

    • Interior is 100 % all stock and in fantastic shape 9/10
    • Dashboard replaced as original one was cracked
    • LED Lighting inside & Xenon 55W Kit on headlights
    Steering wheel came out of convertible model
    All options below are in great working order
    Manual Sunroof
    • On board computer (working properly)
    • Gauge Cluster is working properly with all the lights, RPM, MPH
    (Mileage is not spinning, a common problem with swaps and easy fix with new gauge cluster gears)
    • No AC since there is no room in the engine bay

    Wheels & Suspension:

    • Original BBS BMW 14” Wheels
    • All four wheels are in good shape with original center caps
    (Need to be sand blasted and re coated if you want perfect finish)

    Exhaust:

    • Aftermarket Rear Axle Back Canister
    • New Exhaust Piping Header to Axleback, 2.5” Diameter

    Here is a little VID before looking at the pics!!

    if only you had posted this 3 months ago, I would have given you 6500 without a blink and walked away. I just had castro do m30b35 swap on my e30 and im into the car about 6k right now.. and yours is cleaner than mine. I also saw your posting on ebay. I can't believe you havent sold it yet.. such a good deal.. wish you luck.. your price is fair if not on the low side. dont budge you'll get what you are asking for.
