    Feeler, My e30.

    Well guys, it's time that I move on.. I THINK.. My parents are really wanting me to get a newer car, they keep on telling me i waste my $ on it, and for what i have put in, and what I am planning to put into it, I would be better of getting a newer car, I am starting to agree. I'm thinking of getting a newer m3, they are going to be helping me with it so all I have to do is sell the car. I have put MANY hours into this car... IMO this car is one of the most tastefully modded 4dr you can find in the states, not trying to brag, i've always tried to be humble about it.. but that's just my opinion. The car has never been in any accidents, if you want to car fax i can get you the vin. There was a fender bender though with a dear hitting me going like 10mph, just had to change the front bumper skin, that was before the paintjob too.

    The car alone has ATLEAST 10,000.00 in mods ALONE, that does not include maintinance, paint job, tires, etc etc.. The car is maintained by my dads friend good year shop, my dad has about 6-8k in bills alone from the shop, and that is with the discount we get.

    The goods:

    The car is a neck braker, you want a car that gets alot of attention and comments, this car is ment for you.

    Performance wise is pretty good..I haven't done anything major to the engine, but it handles pretty well, the H&R cup-kit isn't the stiffest set of shocks and springs you can get, but the sways make up for it.

    The engine still runs VERY strong, I think the PO had gotten it rebuilt, because the whole engine was taken out before, you can tell because the engine has a bent tow hook and the wiring has been re-wired (you can tell because they used zip ties and it doesn't look like stock wiring).. But I can not say that it has been rebuilt before or not, because I just don't have proof. But i do have people to vouch for me that the motor is in very good cond, no leaks, drips, and does not burn any oil.


    The bads:

    The A/c compressor has just been rebuilt, but when turned on it is giving me some weird belt noises, and changes the Idle of the car DRAMATICALLY, i will get this fixed b4 i sell it.

    Rims have curb rash :(

    And here are some pics of my baby.

    Here is how the car was when i purchased it.





    B4 the paint job





    Engine bay:



    Car as is:





























































    first vid

    second vid




















    I'm sure i'm missing alot of things, but i'll get around to posting them when they pop into my mind.. it's 1:30 am, good night!

    oh.. my asking price will start at 10,500.00 Car has 154k miles on the clock. but the odo stopped working.

    I will also be throwing this 92 m50 engine in, PO said it has around 100k on it, the PO also said it ran fine when they took it out, but it might have a bad rod bearing, the head seems good so far, Haven't taken it apart any further yet. Comes with no intake mani, ecu, or flywheel.

        If this were my car, parting would not ever be a consideration. Man I would love to have this.

                  Are you f-ing serious? You just got done spending all the money and doing all that work, and now you're going to sell it?

                  I don't get that at all, putting all that time and money into it and then turning around and selling it.

                  And if your parents think you are dumping a lot of money into this one, wait until they find out what maintenence and replacement parts alone cost on a newer M3.

                  Good luck, but I think you're completely insane to sell this car.
