    1991 325i M30B34 Swapped E30

    Hey guys, I just finally got back from deployment and im trying to settle down a little bit so im trying to shed myself of some of my cars. I have a 1991 325i with a M30B34/260/5swap. The only issue with the car right now is a crack in the block. It can be driven but as it makes sense dont drive it too far. I have located another block for the car that i would throw in with it. It was orignally an automatic and the 4.10 open was never changed out for a lower gear. Here is a list of the good and bad:

    The Good:
    -M30B34 260/5 Swap done by Mike Fischer at Sports and Imports of Chesapeake
    -Brand New Custom Driveshaft built by RaceWerks of Virginia Beach
    -JimC chip
    -Mint condition black sport interior(vinyl)
    -Newly Installed Uncracked Dash
    -New Fuel Pressure Regulator
    -New Speed Reference Sensor
    -Rebuilt gears in the odometer/trip
    -Custom Stainless steel exhaust all the way back also done by sports and imports
    -Pioneer CD Player
    -Kamei Eyebrows
    -H&R Race Springs/Bilstein Sport Shocks
    -New Control arms with M3 Cabs
    -Brakes Recently replaced

    The Bad:
    -M30 Has a small crack on the driver side of the block, have located new block will throw in with the car
    -Paint is severly deteriorated, originally Lagunengrun Metallic, but from everything i have seen this color doesnt last the test of time too well
    -Will need new tires


    I have driven this car from Virginia to Florida with no issues, however that was before the crack in the block. It is very smooth driving and great car. Has current VA inspection. I will be taking offers on the car, but i wanted to set a baseline of $2000obo. Please pm me or email me at realsurfer88(at)yahoo.com

          good price and alot of hard work here.

          these cars are tons of fun after this swap! And the m30 is a work horse!

          consider the paint sleeper status ;)

                Is the same car that has came up for sale a few times in the last few years? You should get a few good pics up, as I remember being interested in it before but it didn't seem to stay on the market very long.

                  Yes this is the same car with the H&R knockoffs, but its been determined that they were the earlier style and spring rate race springs they offered a while ago. I just got back from deployment yesterday and havent had a chance to get on my own computer to post up pictures, but i shall take some updated ones aswell. This may be the same care you are thinking of jimmy however its changed ALOT since it left its last buyer, mostly for the better aside from the damn block issue.

                    Yeah, well there probably haven't been many lagunengrun's with m30's in the area. Mike does good work, I've dealt with him numerous times. Let me know when are available next week and I'll come by and check it out.
