    why someone would want to sell an LS swapped e30 is beyond me, basically race car>resell value.

        an clean e30 with an ls1 can easily get you $10k. i dont think resale is a problem.

        after driving a m10 powered 318i a smart car will feel like a ferrari.

            nah LS or 5.0 swapped e30s sell for a premium, the only haters would be the snobby purists but theyll still respect that swap and dream of one while their m20 is still leaking oil from various places

                You guys are acting like this guy is a 16 yearold kid with his dads hefty wallet. Get a slow pos e30 before you buy a nice one!

                Why? If the guy wants a quick e30 who cares. You don't need to "test" out a stock one before you get a nicely modded one. Jesus christ.

                An s50 swapped e30 would be amazing, I say go for it you'll really enjoy it.

                    Yeah, I don't need a shitty or slow one to appreciate a nice performer...paid my dues in that department. My search for a nice e30 with a swap is fast underway. Thanks!

                        Just make sure you get the cleanest body you can find, and if you do buy a swapped car, ask what maintenance was done on the engine before it went in and ask for proof (pics or at least receipts.)

                                Oh yeah rust sucks and looks like you live in an area with plenty of it. Love your sig....hit similar runs for a week at Vail last year.
