    **SOLD**1991 E30 S52 Bar'd -California Legal

    Hey R3V,

    Finally made the decision on posting my beloved E30. Since my purchase (from another R3V member) going on 3 years (and 18k miles) I have furthered the project in making it an excellent driving extremely reliable weekend car. After doing tons of recent upgrades the car runs smother and cleaner than ever. Passing SMOG cleaner this year than the last with the same cats. The car has no substantial leaks, runs like a top, and has never let me down. Being a BMW enthusiast I put the love and care into this car that it needed. Who ever gets her next will grinning ear to ear with her for many miles to go.


    Here are the details spelled out:
    • 1991 318i
    • Black interior
    • S52 - OBD1 Swap
    • E36 Transmission
    • Bar'd as S50 (Just went back through the BAR program to get smogged and inspected 12/14) - Smog in hand
    • M50 Intake Manifold
    • Pink Injectors. (S52)
    • New- ish head. Around 30k Miles
    • Around 150k on the motor. I don't know the exact.
    • Stock e34 m50 wiring harness. Tucked and Beautiful
    • Pink s52 injectors.
    • Mishimoto Radiator w/Spal fan
    • Short Shifter (Z3)
    • Single Mass Flywheel - Noisy but very light.
    • The past 5k Miles I did a huge overall.
    • New High Performance Water Pump.
    • Mishimoto Radiator Hoses
    • NEW Brake Booster (Brand New 944 booster $$) This was not easy to find or fun to put in.
    • New Powdercoated Valve Cover- All new gaskets.
    • New Spark Plugs and Coil Packs.
    • New Power Steering Lines
    • New Drive Shaft Center bearing - by Performance Technic in Pleasanton
    • Subframe reinforcements - by Performance Technic in Pleasanton
    • All Polly bushings all the way around. (Yes you can hear everything working on the car including the rear end)
    • [Bimmer silicone intake
    • Full heavy duty skid plate (A GODSEND in the Bay Area)
    • Rear End. - Z3 Cover - 3.73 With LSD.
    • Ground Control Coilovers - Valved to 800lb Front and 900lb Rear. (Have Camber Plates)
    • Full HID Head lights w/ blacked out grill
    • Euro Filler Plate
    • Custom tucked magnaflow muffler and turned down exhaust. Smog Legal
    • 14" basket weaves w/ caps and a full spare. 8k Miles on the tires.


    Interior is a 9/10 - No Cracks in Dash.
    MoMo Retro Steering Wheel - NRG Quick Connect
    Custom 12 O'Clock Gages
    Recaro SE Seats - Original with real Recaro brackets. These have rips but are clean and have a great 90's feel. I did not want to refurbish them.

    Exterior is a 8/10 - It has plenty of flaws and dings but what can you expect with 24 year old car. If I kept the car I would fix the 2 major dings and respray it. Most of the dings are from parking lot battle wounds.

    Whew, I know I forgot plenty so I will update it as time goes on and I plan on taking more pictures in the coming week.

    If you have any questions I will do my best to answer them. PM me with interest.

    Car is located in The East Bay, CA.

    Asking $$SOLD$$

    I know I am going to regret this.

              What you are getting at? The beauty cover is wrong. I know this. The car has a OBD1 valve cover b/c it is an OBD1 conversion. A must do when making the car California legal.
