[JinormusJ]

Not sure if srs...

[TimKninja]

Me and OP may go buy it tonight.

[Thizzelle]

why is this even a question? if it starts up you have gold

[F34R]

LOL That is a loose definition of kinda local.

Family lives in RI, I would stop in while picking up an M3 under 1k. I don't believe it till the OP posts pictures.

Serious, you could buy it for 3 times that price and make your money back.

Be sure to get the name of the bakery you found this at.

HAH! r3v has been full of win lately.

Why are you worried about making your money back? 8-900 for the M3 suspension and brakes is worth it alone. You can use the steering rack too.

Swap the engine in your e30 with the front suspension and get some Z3 rear hubs. Then part out everything else. Is it an s50 or 52?

If not I am kinda a local and will come get it if you don't want to bother with it.

Well here's the thing, I just dumped a shit load of money into my m20 and it hasn't been running g in 5 months, so I just want to get my e30 on the road before I buy another car, mainly because I live with my mom and there is no way in hell she would let me have 2 non running BMWs sitting in the drive way.

So what I wanted to do is get mine running, buy the m3 and strip it clean in like a week, scrap the chassis and sell the parts I wouldn't be using on my car.

EVEN THOUGH I would absolutely love to put this motor in my car.. Its just not gonna happen, I don't have the time/space/money. So I just wanted to keep all the good bits I could swap onto my car and sell the motor to make my money back.

Edit: not sure of miles or if its a s50 or s52

[evandael]

yeah, definitely buy it. depending on the mileage, you could quadruple your initial buying price.

[TurboJake]

You could make that back. Absolutely. Assuming the engine is still kosher.

But why? Perfect time for an S5X. ;)

So yesterday I was delivering some sandwiches to this dude, and his house was behind another house so when I pulled back there, boom, a completely totaled e36 m3 just sitting there.

So I knocked an his door and asked him about it he said he was t boned by a 17 year old girl who blew a stop sign. So the damage was only on the passenger side. The whole door and rear fender where crushed in and he said the frame was bent.

So the first thing I thought was how much does this dude want for it. He told me 8-900 bucks could have it. He told me he had put a bunch of money into engine and some "1000" dollar angel eye head lights or something like that.

So what I was wondering was, if I was to buy this thing how much could I make parting it out? I was planning on keeping the steering rack, 5 lug stuff and the Vader seats. So for the engine trans drive shaft exhaust carbon fiber hood lol, do you think I could make my money back?

Oh yea I also checked to make sure it was a real m3 and not a 318 with a spoiler.
