It's been a while since I've been on this forum but I haven't had any luck with Craigslist selling my sedan the past week so I'd like to see if you guys are interested. The pics I have on there aren't the best so just let me know if you'd like more if you're interested, or I'm happy to show it in person. I'll be moving states soon and unfortunately need something more family friendly. I'm happy to answer any questions, just shoot me a PM or comment below.
Price: $6300

Key specs:
- 2.7L stroker motor with ~ 10-15k miles
- Z3 short shifter with ZHP weighted knob
- 370mm M-Tech II steering wheel
- 3.73 LSD
- Bilstein shocks with Eiboch lowering springs
- M3 front sway bar end link conversion
- Team Dynamics 15" wheels with new tires
- New battery
- Clean title
- No rust (CA car)
- Matching VINs on all panels/doors/hood/trunk
- AC works great
Work done by Castro Motorsports before I purchased it:
- Sachs clutch
- Stainless steel clutch and brake lines
- AKG poly transmission mounts
- Brake pads
- Installed Team Dynamics wheels
- Added M3 sway bar end link conversion
- Added 370mm M-Tech II steering wheel
- Added 3.73 LSD
- Rebuilt steering rack
- New control arms
- New tie rods
Work done by Bimmerheads before I purchased it:
- Mild port and polish of head
- Reground cam
- Assembled 2.7L stroker motor (SETA bottom end with "i" head)
Work done by Castro Motorsports after I purchased it (~6mo ago):
- AKG poly rear subframe bushings
- AKG poly rear trailing arm bushings
- AKG poly front M3 control arm bushings
- New front strut mounts
- New tires
Work done by me last month:
- New spark pugs
- New air filter
- New battery with warranty from O'Reilly
- New window washer pump
This list should cover nearly everything. Now on to the cons or issues.
- The paint is 6/10. It's difficult to tell in the pictures but there are a few small door dents and a few scratches, as well as a portion of clear coat that's fading (left rear of the car). The paint is also dirty and could use a good wash/wax. I've had it parked on our tree-lined street which hasn't helped.
- A few interior pieces are missing (triangle pieces on front doors, etc)
- Dash is cracked
- Driver seat is cracking
- Back carpet portion near speakers is dirty
- Rear bumper plastic piece has a crack in it
- Fog lights work great but have cracks in the lenses
- Horn doesn't work
- Window washer hose is clogged. I have 2m of new hose, just needs to be installed.
- The gas tank filler hose needs to be replaced (there's a crack in it somewhere)
- Original clock doesn't work
- Tachometer works on and off
- Odometer stopped working
- Carpet is torn under driver floor mats (comes with M3 floor mats though)
This is a very well put together car that's an absolute blast to drive. It's never been on the track but I have driven it in the canyons twice and it handled amazingly. This is my fourth E30 (two 325i's and a 318is prior) and it's definitely quicker than a stock 325.
