e28 trade for e30

[motoexclusiveE30]

Hello, I have an e28 Im trying to trade for an e30. There is a guy interested but his car 89 auto will not go into reverse. Is this a common problem and easy fix. I'd need to drive this for a while until I get my vert on the road.

The issue with the auto not going into reverse is known, but definitely not a simple fix. The transmission will have to be taken out and rebuilt; it would be better and cheaper to buy another transmission to replace it.

The main issue is that the car is an automatic. Manual swap it. It needs a new transmission anyway.

Nice bike...

If you already have an e30, then I'd take a look at the price of gas (if you care) and cherish your ugly 528e automatic...buy some airbags and rims and call it a day...or do the manual swap to the e30.

so such thing as an ugly e28. but id do the 5 speed swap and lower it on style 5's and call it a day.

^ I thought he called it ugly... he said sucks big time, lol. oh well.

Youre talking about that red one on jackstands arent you? Looks pretty good, but, the e28 has more room. I would spend the money it takes to swap the auto in that e30 on your e28. That being said. I have a good auto tranny I would install into your car for @ 800 bucks.
Let me know what happens.

The eta auto sucks big time. I actually like the looks. I have a m50 going in the red one. Just need to figure out what to do with the e28. I was considering another e30 because my lady wants to drive the vert when its done.
