    WTB: Big Power E30. $50k Budget.

    Yes, the title is correct...$50k budget, but that likely only applies to M3s. Just sold my 930 and want to get back into an E30.

    Must be big power or a motor ready for big power, and no stroked m20 stuff. Swapped motors only, or a good candidate for a motor swap with a chassis that is fully upgraded.

    I live in Southern California so bringing in a swapped car from out of state could be challenging with our emissions laws so ideally I would be looking at cars registered in CA, but I don't want to limit to only that.

    Ideal car would be as follows: Alpine white, coupe, s54, possibly boosted, body in great shape, flares or wide body is acceptable, m3 would be killer.

    Feel free to email me at SethDHamilton@Gmail.com or text me at 714-397-6077

    I have cash in hand and am itching to purchase.

    Thanks,
    Seth

            True

            I would wrap it in white and call it a day.

                Yes, I have my eye on this one. I am going to view it soon. I really wish it was anything but red... but if it is clean then I could overlook that and wrap it. Thank you for the suggestion.

                    offer $40k and retrofit a supercharger

                    E30 M3 S54 are harder to find. Is it me, or is this car overheating!

                      ^nice car but at that price it wouldn't be worth trying to bring in to CA to pass emissions.

                        I was looking at shipping estimates because I found a car in Florida but I'm in CA. Looked around and average shipping costs door-to-door is around $800-$1000.

                        I have a few guys that can help with smog and registration if you buy the car.

                          Having someone to register a swapped car opens up so many possibilities. I would love to get your contact's info, and even compensate you for it.
