Bring a Trailer Auctions, E30 edition
We got an 87-iS now. I've been wondering how one of these will do. I think the last one sold for $5500 or something
edit: S52 swapped 318Ti here in SoCal.... I might have to check it out. Says its a Club Sport model also. Very tempting, but the aluminum block wouldve been the way I wouldve done it haha Yes I have a thing for the aluminum block M52Last edited by 2mAn; 08-08-2017, 08:26 AM.Simon

Hmm, this is tricky. I immediately rolled my eyes at the seller refusing to pay, but after looking more closely I maybe have some empathy.
It says "167k Miles Shown, TMU" but then the auction states "167k miles are shown, though the previous owner swapped out the instrument cluster." So there's nothing specifically disclosed here that says that the odometer is not operational. It just says that it has been swapped out and the true mileage is unknown.
"It's been swapped out" does not mean "it doesn't work". I would be pretty disappointed.

I loved the comments on the Cecotto M3 (non-Auction listing).

People have no problem with a 6 figure 911 that looks like every other 911 ever, but an 80k E30?! oh HELL NO, that's crazy talk...Last edited by djjerme; 08-08-2017, 09:34 AM.1991 325i MT2 Touring (JDM bro)

The government isn't your parents, nor is it some godlike entity. It's a bureaucracy run mostly by people who are quite honestly below average, which is why they sought a government job to begin with.

Any ways, that's getting off topic.
Is it just me or does the 24v swap look like the Passenger door has either been repainted or swapped?1991 325i MT2 Touring (JDM bro)

I swear you can drive through any affluent neighborhood and see a few tucked away in garages under covers by enthusiasts and non enthusiasts.
My sentiments as well. No joke, architect neighbor who is in no shape or form a car guy has a 80-something 911 tucked in the garage. Can't maintain his farking trees, but probably knows all the cool hipster places in town (they usually drive the wife's Prius).
