yup, thats the one I was thinking of. Its a great car to get started in. M3 seats, already has a 24v swapped in. slicktop. the issues are so easy to deal with. Biggest downside is that its the 2nd worst of the 24v swaps out there, but going from a M42 to a M50 is a big jump still.

It's going to be a hard sell to anyone outside the E30 community.. But then again, I do hope it gets all the dollars because it just makes all of my E30's worth more..

I want to say that that's the first time I've seen the M3 roof antenna on a regular 4 door e30. I really like it and will probably steal the idea if I can find one.

You can buy them new still. ECS stocks a full kit

The peppered front valence and "fist sized dent" in the rear valence are definitely going to hurt it. Its not a bad looking car IMO, but I cant stand the wheels

I like my wheels. As far as the dent, I wish they would have used different verbiage than "fist sized"

I have high hopes waiting to be dashed quickly.

The exhaust is the biggest issue for me (hence why I never fixed it). I just don't want to cut the rear valence for the typical 2 pipe install and I don't want some random magnaflow welded in there. If it comes down to it, the AC and PS leak I will fix as a condition of the sale. AC is the easiest as the car had a perfectly functioning system prior to the swap. The wiring is there for the idle bump and the fan. Lines just need to be mated together.

My car had a BMW car phone when I bought it. They had rigged the M3 roof antenna to it for reception. However it was missing when I bought it and it took me a while to figure out what exactly it was other than a Hirschman of some kind.

Ive learned when it comes time to selling cars, the less mods the better. I dont know what the plans are after the sale, but it may have been a better idea to list it with stock wheels and remove those. . In this case, a stock set of basketweaves probably would've done more to help. Wheels and choices of mods are more polarizing. I wish you the best in the sale, one of the reasons I never bothered to list my car there was because I have such a polarizing car that I doubted I would get the $$$$$ I wanted.

Good luck!

Hey I posted a question about the exhaust on the auction, Im trying to see if we can get you good $$$$$ for it. Trying to help teach those who dont know about swaps

[2mAn]

Good luck today I hope you get a lot of activity

[amcp]

Fingers crossed as my car is similar.

so $7,500 isnt so bad... how do you feel?

[Poorhouse]

I don't see that car doing very well there. The details are lacking.

so $7,500 isnt so bad... how do you feel?

I stand corrected.

Congrats on the sale.

Hey man this thread was really helpful for me trying to price out what a e30 m3 project would go for. Thanks!
