I purchased this car back in January to use as a daily driver while I waited for my 74 2002 to finish being rebuilt/restored.

Well....my 2002 (see pic below) should be returning to me in a couple of weeks and my wife says that this needs to go to make room. Apparently 4 cars for 2 drivers is too much.

Anyway, here is a rundown on the e30.
Car has had 3 owners. 1st was a BMWCCA member and driving instructor, 2nd was M-Technik-3 and 3rd is myself and has been well maintained.
238K miles on the engine
The Good
Driveshaft replaced last year
AC compressor replaced 2 years ago - AC blows cold
5 spd
Rare LSD
Cloth interior - Passenger sport seat on driver side.
Eibach M3 Comp Springs
Bilstein Sport Shocks
Camber Plates
Adjustable Swaybars - 1st owner claimed they were Eibach...2nd thought they were H&R
Front Stress Bar
SS Brake lines
New Water Pump
New Timing Belt
New Belts
Hella H4 Low Beams
Hella H1 High Beams
Short Shift Kit - Autosolutions
Minimal Rust (One spot on sunroof panel, other on rear apron under battery tray)
Uncracked Dash
Momo Shift Knob
Done/added in last 3 months
New O2 Sensor
New Fuel Pressure Regulator
New Fuel Filter
New Plugs
New Air Intake Boot
New Coolant Temperature Sensor
New Rotors & Pads (PAGID)
New Kumho ASX All-Season Tires on Style 10 Rims
Recent Heater Core recall work performed
Current Safety Inspection
Current Emissions Certificate
MTech1 Steering Wheel
New PS hose
Newish oil cooler and lines
The Bad
Needs a repaint - crazing on doors, peeling on airdam, small amount of bodywork evident on front right fender
Idles a little rough at startup. Think the injectors could use servicing.
1 foglight cracked...of course it is the one that works
Antenna doesn't go up/down.....reception is still good.
Radio shows "Code". Need to get S/N and take it to dealer for code ($15).
Perfect SpecE30 candidate.
Looking for $3100/OBO

Additional Interior & Seat Pics....remember...this is a passenger side sport seat mounted on the driver's side. Passenger seat could use a good cleaning.
