-door locks need to be rebuilt ( working on fixing these too)


Other than that it's in great shape. But the first few times i drove it i realized i belong in an e36 and this kinda isn't for me. But if i can't get much out of it, i may just keep it. It's setup for autox but can be dd too since all the interior and sound deadening is still in.

It would probably come with basketweaves on azeni's.

I'm sure i'm forgettings ome stuff, but that's most of it.

I would most likely try and trade it for a e36 coupe. Maybe an m3 :D

I wouldn't take a dime less than $4500, but I wouldn't pay much more than that either. Sounds like the drivetrain is solid. The bad paint and no AC kills the price

[Schwarz325]

Drive train is in great shape, but i gotta pull the driveshaft and re align it and get a e28 m5 driver's side motor mount, because the intake manifold is like 1mm from the booster and it's causing vibrations when idling.

[KenC]

Realign the deiveshaft? For what purpose? If you're getting vibrations from it, 99% of the time you need to replace it due to worn u-joints.

[Schwarz325]

Well when i put the csb on, the paint faded of the 2nd half i marked so i kinda guessed it. It wasn't doing anything prior to swap, so that makes me think i misaligned it

Why does no AC kill the price?

Why does no AC kill the price?

Because not everyone lives in the frozen tundra of the Great White North

It gets over 110F over here too brada. :P



Weight saving ftw, how much does an A/C weigh?

[boom-monkey]

Not worth enough to sacrifice my comfort.

[matias88e30]

u might be able to trae it for a e36 m3 plus some cash on ur end.. 4500 not a bad price considering all the work u done to it!

[jeffSDguy]

I will say yes $4500. If you still had the original motor, should have sold it to me ! Paint and 4/10 interior will be great for me !

[Schwarz325]

Lol the car been fixed since and it drives great.

It's up for sale for 4k without the coilovers. It never had the original motor, it had an m20. If it had a m42 i woulda just boosted it :D

[Overlord475]

$3.62.... jk, looks good man. 4k is a solid number
