I would like to see if anyone is interested in trading their E30 for my extensively modified/upgraded E28.
Below are details on my E28.
I would be looking to trade for an equal value E30. I am most interested in the following:
1987+ 325is
1988+ 325i/325is/318is
I will entertain both 2 and 4 door cars.
I will not entertain an automatic, sorry... 5 speed only.
Chassis
1983 533i
Driveline
European 3.5L "dirty" motor (~175,000 miles estimate)
Newly rebuilt Getrag 5 speed transmission
Rebuilt 3.46 Limited Slip Differential
Custom ported OE exhaust manifolds
Custom 2.5" single pipe exhaust with catalytic converter exits through OE muffler.
Short Shift Kit
Exterior
Burgundrot Red Exterior
14" E28 Bottlecap wheels with new Dunlop Graspic snows (less than 400 miles)
16" E28 M5 wheels
(2) new Hankook Ventus R-S2 tires (225/50/16)
(2) of the same tires with ~20% tread left
European chrome bumpers front & rear
European front valance with turn signals & fog lights
European Headlights & Grills
Suspension
H&R Sport Springs
Bilstein Sport Shocks
Bilstein Adjustable Sway bars
Front upper Strut brace
Interior
European Gauge Cluster
Tan leather rear seat
Tan carpet
Tan door panels/grab handles/etc.
Black Recaro Cloth seats with Alpina cloth inserts.
Big Red Clutch Stop
The dashboard is showing the typical cracks. It should be replaced or have a cover placed over it. There is a functioning dash-top vent.
Currently the A/C does not work. The lines have been closed/sealed off where the hardlines end above the passenger fender. There is no condensor, a/c pump, a/c dryer, etc.
Audio
Alpine CD/MP3/WMA AM/FM CD player in-dash
Ipod connector in glovebox
Sony Xplod Component speakers w/ crossovers (5.25") all around (8 total speakers)
Sony Xplod 8" subwoofer mounted under back seat
2 Amp's in trunk (1 large Sony for speakers, on smaller amp for sub)
Extra's
-Folder of receipts/parts/purchases/service for the past 7+ years. I'm talking about everything from oil changes, to ordering new valve stem covers, to rebuilding the diff...
-Dual Brake Light wiring modification for better stopping visibility.
-Sunroof wind visor
-Extra brake rotors, rotors need to be turned to clean off surface rust.
-New battery-less SI Board
Condition
The exterior paint on the vehicle is in need of some TLC.
The car just had the following painted:
-Roof
-Hood
-Trunk
-Both front fenders
-Passenger rear door
The roof and trunk were painted because the clear coat was peeling off from sitting in the CA sun.
The hood & fenders were painted to repair some leading edge damage. The car was involved in a very light collision where it contacted the bumper of a pick-up truck. The bumper missed the front end of the car, and only hit the top edge of the hood, leading edges of the fenders, and dented the center of the radiator support.
There was absolutely ZERO frame damage. We replaced the core support as we had a spare, and it was a cleaner solution than trying to repair the damaged one.
Cosmetically, the exterior is an 7.5-8 out of 10. The new paint does not match 100%. If I keep this car, it will likely get a full repaint next year as I am OCD about my vehicles.
There are 2 known spots of rust on this car:
-Lower left corner of rear window.
-Center of trunk opening below rear window. This appears to have been caused by water getting below the gasket.
The car drives straight and true and is an excellent commuter. Very comfortable on the highway and fun through the turns as well!
The exhaust is not too loud, and I'd wager barely over the OE sound. The SSK is nice and notchy, but not overly aggressive.
The odometer on this vehicle was broken. Therefore, I would be selling this car as True Mileage Unknown. I have since repaired it, so it now reads and records mileage.
The State of NH does not require a title for a vehicle of this age. I DO have the previous CA title that would come with the car along with a Bill of Sale. The car just passed a NH State Inspection.
