This vert is going to bring some big money, probably $30k+ (similar to this unposted car: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/19...convertible-2/)

What do you e30 guys think of the phenomenon of low mileage/manual/LSD verts bringing big money?

I have a 1987 with 51k miles, and am shitting bricks over what people are paying at the moment. Guess I better sell?

Bring a Trailer buyers love un-modified cars so the 89 325iS will be the big money one, most verts arent modified so they fetch good money too

verts never do as well as a hardtop here simply due to the climate. they are almost always in better shape though as the vert season is only 4 months long. they also have a rep for being the grey hair pipe and slippers car.

Wow. 189 is pretty weak, no matter what dyno lol. A proper 3.1 should be well into the 200's, even on a Mustang dyno.

Yeah for the time and money, I would be pretty disappointed lol

I wonder what happened there..

Patrick is an excellent builder .... not said lightly. I've known him and worked with him on projects for a good twelve years ish. He is top shelf.

That being said, I've strongly disliked that piston design for a long time .... and the motor was built eleven years ago.

3.1 car
WAR CHIPPPPP
Crush bent pipes after headers in to not a great Y pipe.
Looks like it captures alot of hot air with that intake shroud
I do like the red tails, But the clears dont flow.
Picture of floorboads without carpet is worth 5K, To bad the new carpet doesn't look classy. Never been a fan of dynamat EVERTHING. Gunna need that 3.1 torque!
That MLS head gasket isnt going to seal with the RA on the block. Period.

Flat pistons and 885 head? That will do it.
