    WTB: '91 e30 318is

    Hello,

    I am looking for a clean slicktop (no sunroof) e30 318is.

    I am not particular about the color but I am particular that the car have a clean basically rust free body without a sunroof and at least 10 foot paint, decently sorted such that it can serve as a daily driver upon delivery, have a LSD, and working AC.

    Other wants, include that some basic issues have been dealt with timing chains if car over 100K miles, no leaking oil pans (this can starve the motor under high revs), suspension issues such as tie rods, bushings, etc that wear out after 100K+ miles,......

    My plan is to tune the suspension of this car by taking it to driver days in 2009, decide if it is "the car" for me, and if so drop a metric mechanic M42 Rally motor in it in 2010 before the driver days begin.

    I will be selling my current car that my wife hates, S14 powered 1973 (roundie) 2002.



    PM if you find something that fits the bill or have an interest in the M2.

    Cheers,

    Carl
    I should have bought Dave's brilliantrot the car in SF.

                BimmerDog or anyone else,

                Send me a PM to discuss the '02. It is a nice car but when your wife hates it ..........She can make it hard for you to enjoy it yourself.

                Cheers,

                  Carl,

                  This should be what you are looking for except for the mileage part. The plus side is that it is owned by an E30 enthusiast/fanatic.

                      Have not been able to close one of these yet, but I am accumulating parts, 3.91 LSD, new rear window,........

                      Have my eye on one that needs these things.

                      Will then start looking for Aplina wheels and steering wheel.

                          Looking for something well sorted. Not afraid to pay fair value and have long term mod plans.

                          Thanks for the heads up.

                              fyi, slicktop is overrated. I had one in the past with an m50 swap. Most fun e30 I've had, but slicktop was one of the biggest factors i sold it.

                              How much is that 02 worth to you?
