Garagistic M60B40 6 speed e30 swap "lela"

[JGood]

You guys need to get on the Ball and offer a c101 pig tail PNP for M60 harness..


XD

The m60 harness x20 connector is wired the same as the m50 harness x20 connector. Many people offer x20-c101 adapters for sale.

I can't imagine why anyone would buy it though. If you can do the mechanical work required for an m60 swap, you should be able to splice a few wires...

I could only read so much of the comments there -

"Great points Wagoner…
That said, this car looks like a roach. Worn out cosmetics and a tired interior all for V8 sound with inline 6 performance? Why go v8 when you can swap in a complete s54 and it will bea easier, maybe a little cheaper, and more straightforward to certify. OBD2 swaps are pretty routine these days when they scared everyone just a few years ago."

Lol, christ those kind of people really piss me off. Yeah just swap an S54 in and call it a day!

The car was delivered on 26 March. The transaction went flawless. Matt was great, the transport company was great. I couldn't have asked for anything to go any better.

To top it off, I may be getting out of here earlier than expected!

Noice! Another v8e30 on the East Coast.

[garagistic]

...so, any word on where this car went?

Car went to the east coast. Delaware. Being transported there right now. Owner is currently in the military serving in Kuwait and wont be back for a few months. But when he does return he will have a v8 e30 in his garage. :p

We are already planning on building a new and improved v8 e30 so keep an eye on the site.

Awesome car! With the amount of work put into it, it'll definitely fetch well over your reserve. Good luck with the sale!

Also, really nice work on putting that guide together. Sadly, I'm parting with my M60 swap parts (FS thread here for anyone interested). Need to work on house remodel stuff in the near term, but hope to do an M60 swap in the distant future. So nice to have a guide like yours available!

Thank you for the kind words.

Maybe it will go higher, who knows? Its always a risk with ebay. Flakes and what not. That's why we emphasize giving the owner a call to get on the same page.

Alot has gone into the guide thanks to this car. We hope to add more details and make it more detailed (we have tons of documents/pictures) that still need to be added to the guide. Glad we can give something back. It would be great to see the new generation of super e30s giving moderns hell!

10k minimum. But I would like to see about 15k.

Glad that the price we needed is not unrealistic. You are correct, the reserve price is 10k which we believe it very reasonable.

Although it would be great to get into the e30 m3 territory of 15k.
