Let me start by saying that I've owned and built quite a number of BMW e30 convertibles (check my gallery above). This particular example offered for sale in this Ebay listing has to be one of the best out of them all. This is a very clean, meticulously maintained, restored and tastefully modified e30

how many torques does that 'rare' motorsport cover vlad?
I'm surprised he didn't spring for the M Power M20 cover: http://gutenparts.goodsie.com/custom...coating/page/2
He missed the rust on the inside of the spark plug tool, you know, the only part that is susceptible to dropping rust flake into your engine while trying to remove the plugs. nice. Crucially, he did remember the front tow hook for transporting to the buyers house, then to the shop.

It is therapy for those of us who have been screwed by him and/or wish to warn others. You are correct though, this shouldn't be a new vlad thread, its about vert e30 m3 reps. The problem is that probably 75% of vert reps in the states are done by vlad, as the OP's innocent link exemplifies.
OP: as you can see, depending on the quality of your end product, as with any build, you can probably get by for as little as $5,000 including a macco if you find the right shop. To do it properly is a SERIOUS undertaking which would call for at least $25k for skilled labor to distance yourself from the majority of today's US examples.

I think that if the yan incident never happened he would still be praised by everyone on here. I think it is retarded that everyone brings him up constantly.
He has/does some good work and half the people here probably wish they were half as skilled as him.
Still doesn't give him the right to fux with peoples shit.Comment

Nope, there are more members than Yan that were scammed by Vlad. The henna car and another M3 rep come to mind immediately.I think that if the yan incident never happened he would still be praised by everyone on here. I think it is retarded that everyone brings him up constantly.

err...minus the rear trunk lid since the M3 cabrio has the same trunk lid as the regular 318/325 cabrio
Well said! Vlad has certainly moved on but some people here can't seem to do that.'87 325ic, powered by S50.Comment

The trunk unlike the hardtop, is the same as a regular e30.
Here's someone that when all out and it looks identical the regular e30.
