All in all this car is great, it was done right. mods are tasteful. i hate to get rid of it but i have a evil project i want to attempt next.

Im looking for $6750 for this car. I am open to offers, but i know what i have in this car and what they go for and at that price im not to far off.
If i can get full price for the car, i have a Alpina (rep) front airdam ill throw in.

And mine is on the right. heheh

Ok seriously. Bump for a good car. Been in it and around it a while, helpin to show it some love.

No issues other than what is listed, and its only a few seconds cranking til it turns over. Not like 30 or anything crazy.

So Bumpety for an honest seller and a great 24v swap car on the inexpensive side for a change!

Oh, and as a bonus, by purchasing this car, you might even get to join the Schwarz Army! :P

[m3_eater]

Definitely interested. More pics?

[smonkbmw]

ill have more pics hopefully this weekend. i just got it done and havent had the time to snap some.

WTH ? --This is a keeper car, at least for a couple years, then maybe a new project. You better have a line on a E30 M3 or a good M3 body to do a new project into for this, otherwise anything else is a step backwards.

Bump for a bitchin' car.

[smonkbmw]

took pics today. im thinking of painting the seats either all black or a darker gray in the center and touch up the bolsters in black. you can see the only dent in the car in the front left fender. and i need to figure out how to get the paint/caulk off the right side of the car.

and yes linus im looking for a e30m3 either great condition shell, or on its last legs (high mileage) driver. im open to partial trades and or cash plus car trades!! get the word out!

[h0lmes]

Hey man I am interested in the car. Are you going to be at Josh's meet?

[smonkbmw]

What if you give Joe a call & see if he's still got that one white M3 shell roller, then swap over your powertrain. Unless you are looking to start from scratch. I bet you come out better on this with a near stock motor in this car than selling your 24v. You got a stout powertrain, just need a different body, and I bet you & Joe could figure out a shell trade (once you pull your powertrain) + cash if the shell I'm talking of is still around.

That shell is gone.

and I am now, r3vlimited :)

[smonkbmw]

yeah i wanted that shell but it had more issues then what i wanted to deal with. which sucks cause it was the color i wanted (alpine white). im still on the search, i had a offer for a straight trade on s14 until the guy found out i was west coast and he was in new york.... DAMN IT!! i am open to offers, but as i said i know what it should go for so please dont waste our time lowballing it.
