congrats on your purchase. that car is crying for a v8 engine swap and a decent set of wheels.

Now there's something that gets my gears turning
E34 wagon with a big honkin V8. Much better chassis than a Volvo 2/7/940, stronger rear end. Not as unobatnium as a clean 240 wagon. Not sullied by a heavy V8 because it's already a heavy car. I've been ruminating what my next utility vehicle would be after I move on from the old S10 and a boosted GMT900 Tahoe has come to mind a couple of times, I wonder how the cargo volume compares between an E34 wagon and a tahoe.

I put a lot of stuff in my 95 525it I had, 40 Ford Sedan delivery rear fenders.. back seat down.. it works great. M5 V8 would be great...

I mostly approve! seriously, the car looks good. much better. how long do you plan to keep it? how is the interior?

Oh I wasn't thinking of an S62. Something with a few less cams, a few more torques, and a few thousand dollars cheaper.

I've always been a big lagoon green fan, but that's just nasty...

[varg]

Try as I might I just can't understand what possesses some people to do stuff like plastering badges and carbon fiber stickers and crap like that all over cars. Who sticks an extra roundel on a trunk or a fake vent on a fender or pieces of carbon fiber on random parts of the interior and thinks "there, I've improved my car with that"?

[laidback93]

Makes me want to grab a gallon of Goo Gone and remove all that nasty crap.

this thing needs a friend....real bad.

1988 BMW E30 M3 for sale. 120k Low Miles on the Chassis. E36 M3 S52 (70k Low Mile) Engine conversion, Clean California title , clean CARFAX Report.



I bought the car the way you see it, I put all new suspension and few other things I have all the receipts. As the prices are increasing I wanted to restore it to its original condition.



Pros:



** Clean / Clear California title

** Clean car-fax report (no Accident or other Damage History)

** Low miles Only 120k original (not tampered with)

** Perfect dash

** Interior great shape

** M5 wheels

** Recaro Front seats

** all original body panels

** Carbon fiber hood.

** BIlstein PSS Coil over Suspension

** All suspension bushings are new

** Rust free, except for minor spot on windshield Drivers side bottom

** Ireland Engineering BMW Sway Bar Kit

** Extra original Zinnobar red front bumper skin

** OEM BMW Euro glass sunroof



Cons:



** Car was originally red (Zinnobar red) previous owner painted Schwartz / black. Car will need full paint job.

** Tint is peeling

** Needs an S14





These cars will only go up in value, as we can see every year. I hate to sell it, but have too many cars. These are iconic Motorsport BMW s because of their race history.



I am not in a rush to sell. $26000.00 is the price and you will get a lot of extra parts along with the car. The extra parts are worth $3000- $4000 alone. The S52 M3 engine and transmission worth $3500.00. If we do not haggle on the price, I will give all the extras that I have. Please no low ballers . I know what these cars are worth, I have owned a few in the past.



Please call me for detailed information or any additional photos

Serious buyers only…

BMW E30 M3



Cheers,

Not CL, but still worth consideration. Only thing I don't like is the painted bumper trim. This blue is my fave.

1991 E30 325 IX 141,xxx miles but stopped working Automatic transmission Color is lazurblau-metallic Clean title Located in 19020 The good. Solid running e30. Drove it 8 hours home when I purchased it. Does not over heat at all. The AC works!!! No fuel leaks. Fresh respray. Interior is super clean. Has the ski pass. This car does not show its age. It is unmolested. Turn key and go. Brand new battery. The only bit of rust is in the battery trey. Rest of the car is rust free. Jack points even the gas tank breather vent no rust. The bad. Sun roof tilts up doesn’t go all the way back tho. And rear driver window motor is out. Driver window caught on something I hear it engaging. One rust spot in battery trey from taillight seal. One fog light does not turn on. Only selling because I do not drive it and would like to throw some money at my other e30
