WTB: E30 with S54/S52/S50/M52/M50 swap or Turbo

[HKD126]

I’m looking to purchase a finished, more complete project, turn key sort of E30. I don’t have a lot of free time to do my own build as I travel for work, so I’d like to take over someone else’s build. It does not need to be a pristine show car, but driver quality is perfectly fine. A built, swapped or turbo motor is preferred. Must be mechanically sound with no issues or rust. Manual transmission is a must. No convertibles please.

Located in Milwaukee, WI. Don’t mind shipping or flying to pick up the right car. If you think I might be interested, just PM me an offer.

Thanks.

What's your price range?

I haven’t been in the market for an E30 long, but it seems as though swapped/boosted ones are going from $7-15k. I would say someplace in there depending on the car. Again, I’m looking for a driver, not a garage queen.

Distance isn’t a concern. I can either ship or fly. I will keep this one in mind!

I’ve had a 2014 F30 335i for the last few years. Did all the bolt ons with it, about to install a methanol injection system and retune. The car is ridiculously fun and quite fast, but I’m just looking to add to the family.

Back in the market for an E30. Please PM with offers. Thanks
