Sold!
Price: $11,500
After 18 years of ownership, with a sad heart, I'm selling my car. It has been my track car exclusively since 2010. The current drivetrain was assembled and installed in 2011. The car is quick and agile.
I was going to gut the interior and install a full cage, but a friend of mine has a car that is already gutted, caged, and prepped to my standards, so I'm buying his car instead. It seemed a shame to gut mine. I've re-installed everything to return it back to a street car, except the A/C (I do have the compressor and custom hoses). The suspension is really a track set-up, so if you are looking for a neat looking daily driver, plan to install some softer springs and bushings. Its stiff.
This car will pass Oregon DEQ with the catalytic converter (currently installed). However, if you are in California, you will need to install a stock '95 E36 M3 exhaust, airbox/intake, and get a custom tune before going to a CARB referee. The head on this engine and all emissions related stuff is OBD-I so you should be able to have the engine approved as a '95 M3. But, I make no guarantees.

E36 A/C compressor with hard lines and custom hoses for the E30 chassis included.(to re-install you’ll need new R-134 o-rings a new dryer and an E30 condenser, since I can’t seem to find mine; you’ll also need to re-mount the Spal fan in front of the condenser)
Flaws: Paint is starting to show wear from track use.
Sunroof doesn’t really work (motor does, but it needs a new cable, I just unplugged the switch and leave it closed)
On board computer lights have died.
Suspension is a bit too stiff and clunky for street use: softer springs can fix some of that, but if you want a street car, you’ll need more compliant bushings as well.
