I dunno if its alright to do this but this 318is sold a few months ago and it's pretty similar to mine. I however don't have the paperwork from 91 and onward. Is this what made the car sell for 13k?

No idea who that is and don't really care. If you don't change the belt every five years, you are an idiot. Cheap insurance to ensure that your car will stay running. Can't understand why someone wouldn't want to change it.Originally posted by 2mAn View Post1988 325is

Edit: why the fuck are they all obsessed with this person? I really must be missing something........Last edited by e30austin; 08-10-2018, 07:53 AM.'72 2002 | '88 M5 | '89 330is | '89 M3 | '95 911 | '02 M5 | '04 RR HSE

Must have a thing for red coupes! Yes I, too don't understand the obsession. This vid is all I've found:

Yah, the BAT comment section think she’s a deity or something in the Bimmer world, but I’ve never heard of her outside of BAT.
I guess she was big in the 2002 world, and then bought a 318is. Now she has an opinion in every E30 that’s for sale..

I dont want to get into the specifics of why this person is loved because I dont really know, nor do I care. But when people in the peanut gallery are praising this person and talking about this persons knowledge about E30s I question why they have ignored the #1 thing that is asked about a M20 powered E30: the timing belt.
Heres the reply I got; "@ 2mAn:
That’s a valid concern. It was mentioned to me by Bill Arnold when I brought it by his shop. And while it has been seven years, it’s been less than 20,000 miles. Bill mentioned a good rule of thumb for timing belt replacement is five years or 60,000 miles.
So, to your point, were I to keep the car, a new timing belt and water pump would be in order. If not immediately, then soon. In my thinking, that’s in about 10,000 miles.
YMMV"Simon

Lol. First time I heard the name was this morning. Who gives a fuck. BAT is stupid, anyway.Originally posted by djjerme View Post
Precisely. So stupid. If they've all drank the Kool-Aid that hard, then whatever. Hope that belt breaks as soon as the new owner takes possession. Then, they will see how much the owner knows about E30s and taking care of a car. lolOriginally posted by 2mAn View Post'72 2002 | '88 M5 | '89 330is | '89 M3 | '95 911 | '02 M5 | '04 RR HSE

Geeze. That car is so close to being a good, but it never got finished. New headlights are included, but you didn't have time to put them on before listing? You couldn't have spent $200 to get the windshield replaced or $120 to replace it yourself? Needs timing belt, missing trim on the valence, rock chips, fading clear, dented rocker panels, torn seat, broken radio, shitty shift knob, usual oil leaks, etc...
It's definitely a nice car, but it's still a ~$5k car. Maybe $4k if it wasn't a factory 'is'. Especially with no info on when all the suspension components were replaced.sigpic

Bring a Trailer Auctions, E30 edition
Passenger side subframe stub that the bumper shock mounts to, has been shoved upwards in whatever impact it was in. You can see it on the side shot from the drivers side stub looking across.
It’s a 3-4K car at best, but the hype is going to be real.

Sounds like they slammed some Eibach springs on and didn't bother to replace the dampers too...or if they did, they didn't mention it, in their highly prestigious, thorough, for sale ad.'72 2002 | '88 M5 | '89 330is | '89 M3 | '95 911 | '02 M5 | '04 RR HSE

Well, she'd fit in well on r3v being as opinionated and sarcastic as she seems to be.Originally posted by djjerme View PostComment
