****PICS TONIGHT*****

Up for trade is my 1997 328is. It is arctic silver with black interior, with what I believe are sports seats. Stock these guys are listed at 193hp, Im not sure what this is at. It has about 155k on the clock, and runs incredibly strong. Its had the regular maintenance, and has been running on synthetic oil. I also just replaced the water pump, due to a bad bearing (no overheating)

The Good:
-Coil overs - Not sure what brand. They were purchased on a GB by the PO
-HIDs w/ Depo headlights & clear corners
-K&N Cold Air Intake
-Magnaflow exhaust
-Style 24 (I believe) E36 wheels, the ones that look like alpinas
-Momo shift knob
-Shadowlined grille
-Brand new replaced water pump w/ coolant flush
-No CELs that light up like a christmas tree

The bad:
-It has a small ding on the hood. Maybe from a rock, Im not sure. It is about the size of a sharpie tip, and not very deep.
-It also has a small dent on the rear, above the bumper.
-The front right turn signal isnt working. This should be addressed before the sale or trade.


Overall, it seems like the car was taken good care of. The previous owner seemed to have put pride into it. I just thought I could totally be done with E30s, and I already miss my old one.

Im looking for a plastic bumpered, CLEAN bodied E30. Zinno would be awesome, but I'll consider anything that is clean. Your car must be in CA, and must be smogged, with title in hand. If interested in buying, Im looking for $5k.

If it was an M3, I would have definitely considered it

[jflip2002]

If it was an M3 I wouldnt be trading it for an E30.... but thanks.

LOL, didnt you just get this thing? E30s calling you back...

[jflip2002]

Yeah, just got it like two months ago. I really do miss the E30... I feel like a sell out. We already have an E46... gotta have something less watered down.

the clean body part is rather important isn't it...

[devonjordan]

Know what you mean... I gotta get back into an e30, but at least when I moved it was up to an m3.

[jflip2002]

the clean body part is rather important isn't it...

Yeah, it is. Thats the only single reason I sold my last E30. It had that damaged rear valance, that I knew Id never fix, but wuold always bother me. I mean it doesnt have to be CLEAN CLEAN, just no smashes or anything. Id expect a few dings.

If interested in buying, Im looking for $5k.

[Jesse30]

whoops i missed that

[naplesE30]

Yeah, just got it like two months ago. I really do miss the E30... I feel like a sell out. We already have an E46... gotta have something less watered down.

I know what you mean... I almost always pick my e30 over my wifes e90 when we go somewhere and she gets so upset at me.... do we have to take that car,,, ha ha.

[jflip2002]

I actually really like the car, its so much quicker than my E30. Its a real nice performer... I just dont drive it fast, so that doesnt make any difference to me. So I would rather just the classic look of our E30s.

I have a guy with an E39 trying to trade me, so I may just do that, then sell the E39, and get an E30.

Jesse30, PM me if you have a legitimate offer. Im not super flexible at this point, since I think $5k is a fair price. Lets see, though....
