    I bought this car as a weekend project for myself, it needed a head gasket and so I did that and a whole bunch more work thinking this would be new daily driver. But there are still some issues that need to be worked out. The car starts up first try every time, idles really smooth but has no power at all. Clutch is good, transmission shifts nice but the car just feels really starved of power. I am not sure what the issue is and I have given up. If I can make even some of they money back, I will be content.. I did a full tune up, used the correct flywheel pin and camshaft locks so the timing would not be screwed up when I pulled the head and did the timing chain as well. Could be a simple fix, I do not know..

    Outside is decent, the paint is faded on the top panels, hood and roof. Trunk is actually OK. Wheels are good, tires have lots of tread, brakes are good. NO check engine light. Front fender has a dent that could use attention.

    Interior is really clean but the front seats have some wear. Sony stereo, Pioneer speaker all around. Odometer works, but the gears are stuck. I have factory replacement gears included with the car.

    Tags are good through January.

    I am looking for 2500 OBO, I want to sell this quickly. Would like to see this car off to a good home, it has a lot of potential. Silver E30's are hard to come by, let alone the fairly rare 1991 318iS model's.. Clean title!

        Yes,

        165, 180, 160, 155.

        50/50 on selling it now. I have a spare healthy M42. Between that and the good/new parts on mine. I can have a good E30 again. So I may go down this road, if need be.
