    BUILT E30 for sale! (M30b35 monster) (56k no way)

    ****NO LONGER FOR SALE**** sorry!

    Alright, this thing is super burly.

    I am not 100% that I want to sell it (actually I am 100% sure that I don't WANT to sell it)... but I had some rather large surprise bills show up on my doorstep, and I need to sell something (the 335 comes before the M3 in the pecking order, and I can't sell the cabrio, because then my sister will be driving my M3... not happening).

    Sooooooooo...
    Someone snatch this up before I change my mind! haha.

    Specs:

    Originally:
    1987 325is, Schwartz/Cardinal, 17x,xxx miles, 5 speed, totally stock, Fair shape at best.

    Here is a list of what I have done:

    Interior:
    Swapped from Cardinal to Grey
    Swapped dash
    High end Clarion CD/MP3/WMA player, perfect orange hue, MBquart crossovers
    Steering wheel replacement (stock)
    E36 shift knob and leather Ebrake handle

    Exterior:
    Replaced Passenger fender and door (originals were dented beyond repair)
    Swapped metal bumpers for plastic bumpers, including rear skirt.
    Euro Smiley headlights
    Shadowlined trim (w/ trim paint)
    Swapped hood because I had a near perfect schwartz hood
    Comes with 2 Autobahn Sport stickers, and 2 R3V stickers!

    Suspension:
    KW 60/40 kit less than 5k miles
    Factory sport sways

    Drivetrain
    1988 M30b35 motor with Dinan chip - claimed 240hp 240+tq
    Custom motor mounts, no modification to the firewall
    1985 Euro M635 lightweight flywheel
    1988 M5 Getrag 280 transmission
    E36 M3 shifter - VERY functional short shift
    E36 M3 driveline, shortened
    1987 635csiA 3.46 LSD
    Straight 2.5 exhaust off the headers into an M-Roadster catback. You will have to put in a cat to pass DEQ!!! Oregon tags are good until 12/08
    Issues/needs:
    -Needs real electric fan, currently using AC fan
    -Sunroof needs physical assistance when closing
    -trunklock mod (kind of non-issue, since an alarm should be installed anyway, the door lock works, but is stiff. I use the trunk to lock and unlock so I dont stress the key!)
    -Paint needs to be addressed. It is a fine 20 footer though! I will get it buffed, and it will look much better. Some scratches, some small dings.
    -Needs cold air intake.
    -Tach doesnt work not sure why
    -Rebuilt title - if you saw the dented door and fender that totalled the car, you would laugh. I have pictures.
    -Transmission needs to be replaced, **I am including another Getrag 280** (approximate worth $1100)
    -Interior is fair, but fine.
    -comes with 14" bottlecaps!!!!!!
    -Bushings, etc

    Asking $5,500

    Hi Mot!



    This thing is QUICK. There is power at all RPM, in all gears. The gearing is AMAZING. in 4th you can comfortably go 30, or 130. 1st=40, 2nd=67, 3rd=105
    If you plop it in 5th and keep your foot out of it, you should be able to get 30mpg... I got 24ish with extremely spirited driving down to Bimmerfest. Speaking of that drive, I drove down with 2 modded E36 M3's, who couldnt lose me.

    Anyway. Sad day. message me.

    More issues, haha:
    Hood release needs to be mounted
    Rear bumper swap should/could be readdressed for it to sit closer to the body, as it sits there is a 1/4 inch gap.

            German version of a small block fiero? maybe? haha ;)

            I like it a lot, I am going to be sad to see it go. I WILL build another, and in the not-distant future.

                I can vouch for this car guys! I have personally ridden in this car around town and at freeway speeds and it's awesome! The power is always there and it handles well too.

                Sorry to see it go Mr. Funk.
