318ic for $14,000 ! Is it worth it?

[Vivek]

If everything he said is true, it's worth it in my opinion. But I think he's talking out of his ass because I've never heard of a 2.3 m42.

[Danny]

Guis u dont understnd. It is his pryde and j0y

[nando]

2.3 isn't possible. even with a 90mm stroke and 87mm bore.

[Farbin Kaiber]

So it was built by Peerless (robert), right? Maybe we should ask him about the car?

[karzrtoyz]

Where is the "hell the fuck no" option in the poll?

[LivingLegend06]

No E30 with all red tails is worth 14k.
Sounds like some punk kid with a beat E30 making bs claims and pawn off his car on some schmuck who doesnt know any better.

[F34R]

270hp lol will need a snail to make that with the 4 banger.

[obes]

first sign right there...

[Blackout]

Yes, worth it.
(If it comes with 2 russian porn stars in the back seat)

There is no Mickey Mouse here and all is legit with all proof with two folders of receipts since my ownership. (trust me I've done my hwk before I built this beauty). Also for the price I've had the car appraised so I'm going by what the appraiser appraised my car at. One more neat thing also unique about this car is that it was imported with the German delivery program and yes I do have the papers that it arrived in the port of long beach :)
.

Yes it's bored to a 2.3 the m42 uses the same block as the s14 motor I have all the m3 internals in here as well with arp studs and high comp pistons some special head gasket ported/polished head 2.3l crank etc... I will look into my receipts and will email it too you ASAP

I need to meet his appraiser!

My 1986 E30 has done only 130,000 miles (210,000 KM).

Ooooh so low, whatever.

[E30 Wagen]

What an ignoramous. My parent's bone stock 110,000 mile zinno 325i sedan is worth more than that car, that is if it even exists. E30's are going up in value, but no matter the condition I doubt they'll ever plateau near $15k, there's too much competition from other used BMW's and other makes/models. There's a beautiful e46 near me, asking only $7500! http://grandrapids.craigslist.org/cto/3722494575.html

I'll believe 270hp out of an M42 as soon as I start smoking crack.

[ninjaotter]

I'm not hostile buddy but whatever I've said you seem to try and criticize me. If you know anything about e30s you would know something about the m42. Seems like you don't know much 3000 I'd sell you the rear coilovers because you probably don't know how much the coils cost and don't worry I'm getting many emails so your not the first and last and I'm not a bullshitter of the street trying to sell a molested half assed e30 this car is an unmolested e30 and unique if you've been to any of the meets in ca and Nevada especially m fest I'm sure you've seen this car but good luck with your search.

This guy lives in a world all his own.

EDIT: And I'm still trying to get pictures, and the ever elusive dyno charts.
