    FS: 1990 325is - e30 m3 5-lug conversion

    Hey everyone,

    I've had this car for about 1 year now. I have always had e30s since I started driving. This is my 2nd of 3. I performed all of the maintenance and modifications to the vehicle within the last year. Everything that was replaced in the lists below was new other than the 5-lug conversion and that was all from a low mileage e30 m3 in great shape. Its honestly a bit weird, but I'm moving from the e30 scene and I'm looking to sell my 5-lug e30 for an e36 m3 sedan. I really enjoy this car and its basically done for someone to love and enjoy. If you even wanted to, the only thing left to make this car perfect is to do an engine swap with an m5x/s5x motor. Car drives/handles/looks/feels great though!

        Why in the hell would you want to get rid of that car?! I think its the perfect E30. Good luck with whatever what you do. I'd S50/52 swap that thing and be done!

          Bump. I'm mainly looking to sell outright. There don't seem to be many e36's out there right now so I might need some time to look.

            This car looks amazing in real life. Whoever buy's it won't be dissapointed.
            If all else fails you can just give me your lights and suspension. :)

              Agree entirely. That E30 is keeper stuff.

              Now, shouldn't you be asking yourself the same question about, say, an M6 in the most delicious color ever to grace an E24? ;)

                sigh* The dark side beckons.... I do have to say i enjoyed my M3, and it was very nice for a DD(comfy).
                But i got over my love of the M3 with one good 3rd gear pull in the E30

                        Shipping can be arranged. Its generally around $400-$600 to ship a car.
