The Official 'Craigslist find' thread - awesome & awful (eBay, Kijiji, etc.)

[Gentlejackjones]

It's really just a way for me to turn down children that want to come slam gears in my car. After having it done to other cars and people almost wrecking them I figured I'd be a little more stern.

Wow so you're the seller in the post? Tell us more about the car. Why are you selling? Are you getting out of e30s, and if so, are you transitioning to some other RWD, 6 cyl, stick shift goodness?

Also, I understand with the sternness. Those chirren can be somethin'.

[MR E30 325is]

I agree with alane.

When I sold my first E36 M3, a slightly built '97, I wasn't stern enough, and basically wasted time with people who wanted to hoon the shit out of my car.

That was enough for me. I put that requirement in all of my car ads now, even for boring 2500 dollar 4-door automatic E30's.

Could have sworn this was listed for sale (possibly in Vancouver?) 4-5 months ago but I could be wrong.

1989 BMW e30
fuel: gas
title status: clean
transmission: manual
For sale!
I hate to do this but it's time to move on..
I've had this car for 5 years now.. it's gone through lots of work.

1989 325i convertible
Clean title
130,xxx miles on chassis
5spd
Original paint

Exterior:
The car has original paint, with a complete Euro Mtech 1 kit, everything from the front valance, side skirts, rear valance, rear spoiler and front and rear Euro bumpers. Kit was paint matched by a good friends father.. 1 stage paint job still looks great.. car is sporting very rare and unique headlights from the late 80's early 90's called taifuns!! It's also rocking very rare and unique taillights which are called Startecs.. anybody who knows e30's know these 2 parts alone cost a fortune!! Car also has a rear Euro plate filler which is also very rare..

Interior:
The car had originally started its life with full tan interior, tan seats, tan carpet, tan door cards etc.. about a year ago I decided to swap out the full interior for a much more cleaner one. I got my hands on a set of reupholstered Mtech seats front and rear, sourced indigo blue door cards and carpet and swapped it all in. It looks so much better and flows with the car much better..interior is definitely one of cleanest parts of the car..

Suspension & Wheels:
Ok now here's where I get asked a million times, what coils and wheels are you one.. well, I have a very unique and one off set of coils on this car.. I was approached by the OWNER of Powertrix suspension and was asked if I'd like to try out their new Euro line of coils for the E30 with out hesitation I said yes, I've had them for about a year and not one single issue.. I personally love them !! Wish they put them into production. $1,400 set of coils.. and now onto the bling!! The Wheels!! They're old discontinued WRD Chevlon Wheels made by WEDS japan.. fronts area 16x9 et13 wrapped in a 215/40/16 Yokohama s-drive and the tears are 16x10 et13 wrapped in the same tires, these wheels are crazy expensive and rare. Also 3 piece!! All the suspension has been gone through and replaced..

Drivetrain:
Ok now one of the latest goodies to bless this car was a 24v swap!! So for almost all 5 years I've had this car very reliable with a stock M20b25, just recently I decided the car needed more WOW factor, no power but looks.. I wanted the engine bay to look cleaner and nicer, so I decided to swap a M52b28 from a E36 97 328i.. luckily enough I got the swap from a buddy who had already had it in a e30 so it was literally plug and play.. the M52 does have some goodies like S52 cams and few other supporting mods, the motor came with a 95 M3 ZF trans 310 that shifts like butter and also has a light weight flywheel.. the car runs and drives great..


Things I have not finished:
The car just needs a E34 throttle cable
Electric fan wired up
And a exhaust and this thing will be ready to roll!

I've lost interest in finishing this project and funds.. I'd love to see it go to a new home and see it finished.. car currently runs can be driven on trailer no problem..

I would like to get $15,000 for it as it sits.. thanks

The iconic [oo=[][]=oo] are one of the best things about BMWs of this era. Why get rid of them?? :hitler:

[flyboyx]

^thats just.....bad! like baaahhhhd. as in sheep fuckingly bad.

the grill is bad enough but it can be thrown away and replaced. I really despise when someone messes up an entire car just to but bigger wheels under it. at least the interior is sexy

That is what went through my head when I saw it. Terrible. Fixable, but terrible. I wonder how many other trash parts are hidden in that car.
