    FS: 1989 e30 Touring with complete ODB2 s52 swap



    More images of the car are available in the build thread -> http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=242413

    90% of this car has been replaced with new parts.







    The only items I can think of that have not been replaced are:

    - front, rear & door window glass
    - front window motors
    - pedal assembly
    - interior electrical wiring
    - wiper motor
    - wiper arms
    - outside mirrors

    No expense has been spared in this build I have a two page spreadsheet itemizing every part that was replaced at Gutenparts in New Jersey. When I sent the car there to be rewired for OBD2 and have air conditioning installed, Gutenparts pretty much hand built me a brand new car from the e30 parts catalog.

    Mileage: 148,000km (92,000 miles)

    Price: $38,000

    Before you balk at the price understand that you would not be able to buy a clean touring, do an OBD2 s52 swap, acquire all of the parts and install them for the same amount.

    Serious parties can contact me via PM.

                I just decided I really don't need to have two cars anymore, but if I have to keep the wagon... well that will just be a 1st world problem I'll have to live with! :pimp:

                I'll unveil what is coming next once I get the keys in my hand.

                      Prior owner of this car, and I gotta say I'm mesmerized by how far he took it. It was already what would be considered a fairly clean touring, now it's essentially a brand new one. How often do you see someone going to these lengths to replace literally anything and everything on an e30? I foresee this being scooped up and whisked away by an older enthusiast never to be seen or heard of again amongst the younger crowds.

                      Only advice I can say is this deserves a photo shoot to get the most out of it before it disappears.

                              What do you think of the new rear seats? Work done by Velocity Upholstery.
