    WTB: 1989+ Manual E30 coupe

    Looking to buy a 5spd late model coupe
    Certain requirements:
    -Must have no rust
    -150k miles or less on engine (there is leeway)
    -Straight body
    -Fully functional (mechanically sound)
    -Manual
    Wil be a daily driver so won't have time to constantly deal with issues

    Open to cars with refreshed engines or swaps
    Prefer a blank canvas over a modifed car but open to all those meeting requirements

    (Would love a 1991 Diamantschwarz 318is)
    Interested in cars mainly in the PNW
    Thanks for reading!

    I have a calypso coupe in the PNW for sale, it's on the first page of for sale cars.

    Very mechanically sound and has been worked through quite a bit. Check it out!

        I checked it out and remember seeing your craigslist posting originally. It's a very clean car no doubt and seems like you haven't spared any expense with it. However, I haven't been able to get myself around to liking the calypsorot metallic which might come as a surprise to many. Really like the car on the Modenas and if it was any other color I would've definitely considered pursuing a deal. Hope you understand and GLWS! You'll find someone in no time, :devil: .

            Sorry for not updating this thread, I already picked up a 1991 DS 318is a week and half ago from Canada. Not in the market for any cars anymore. Wish everyone goodluck with selling their cars and mods can go ahead and delete the thread.

              Prolly should update the first post that you're no longer looking.

              Or have a Mod lock this up :-)

                  It depends on which picture you're looking at.

                  My Avatar pic is with H&R Sports in front and H&R OE Sports in back.

                  Older pictures show it on stock M3 springs.

                  The car currently has super-stiff Ground Control suspension with Eibach linear race springs (autocross setup) which makes the car sit a little high. The rest is Single Adjustable Koni Sports, KMAC upper front strut mounts, Ground Control rear shock mounts, Racing Dynamics 22mm front sway bar, 14.5mm stock M3 rear swaybar, OEM M3 suspension bushings all around, Sparco Strut Brace

                  I like the stance with the H&R setup the best. I'm planning on switching back to this setup (if i ever get the time), then ultimately selling the car since i just don't drive it anymore. I've put maybe 1,000 miles on it in the last 10 years ha ha.
