Hey guys; buddy recently reached out to me because he is officially trying to sell his e30 and wanted me to post it on various forums for him.
He's selling a 1988 325iS with an s52 swap and ZF 5-speed transmission. The car originally belonged to a mutual buddy of ours who owns his own shop and picked up the car in stock form originally in LA 5 years ago. It became the shop project car and recieved a full rust rebuild/prevention where it needed it and a complete respray. He eventually sourced a crashed EstorilBlau 1998 e36 M3 and pulled the s52/ZF combo along with the LSD and the rest is history. The s52 was rebuilt including all the gaskets and seals and swapped into the e30 about 3 years go with 95k miles on the swap and has driven about 18k miles since. My buddy picked it up last year off of him after seeing it just sitting in the shop under a tarp for a good long while and it became his weekend car. My buddy has since graduated college, has gotten a different BMW, and just wants to sell it because most days it just sits undriven

As you can see, on paper the car is near perfect with only a few minor things that need addressing. Great for anyone looking for a turn-key swapped e30
I know: pictures aren't amazing, but it's what I have to work with
Buddy is looking for around $11,400
Willing to negotiate for serious buyers
Shoot me a PM and I'd be happy to put you in touch
