    On the swapped blue 325i that just sold...I think $10k was a fair price. M/S50 swap is the most common swap there is. Those high production engines as good as they are, will only go down in value over time as the newer swaps come into play. I've found that one could buy a swapped car for often less than what they would pay a shop just to do the swap. Swapped E30 M3's still tend to bring in good money though. I'm guessing because those buyers are willing to spend the money.

    Yes big name shops like Castro, JMP, etc. help when selling because those are trusted shops who have done many. A backyard swap may not be as clean or as well done. Splices might be done improperly, etc. There's a risk factor involved.

          So much bronzit hate..


          That color of the seats though, it would irritate the sh*t out of me! I'm not sure what they were going for with that but it just looks so weird and out of place. I can understand a slight color shift, but that looks like they had Ray Charles match the color.

              Thought I was some factually incorrect posts in the Bronzit 325is discussion, but maybe I've got it wrong.

              1. Comment referred to "is Recaros". E30 sport seats were NOT made by Recaro, correct?

              2. Another comment referred to the 325is and M3 sharing different/specific sport seats only avaialble in those models. Is that correct?

              When I see blatantly incorrect comments on BAT, I try to point it out as a courtesy to noobs who may be trying to learn from the comments, but wasn't confident enough in my knowldege to post about these.

                  This statement also applies to cabrios. The levers and rail action may be slightly different but the front skins are identical. I believe the rear seats are slightly different between the M3 and Cabrio but not 100% on this point

                        lol my first car was bronzit and I thought it was a classy color. I think it was more popular in the 80's though because of that. Many cars came in that type of champagne color. The gold isn't exactly sporty but I always considered it more silver than gold.

                          correct - though Recaro did make sport seats that looked almost exactly like regular sport seats. I don't know how many were made, but it was early on in the production run and I think mostly in Europe. The difference is the seat controls - and I have only seen them in Alpina's.

                                Not an E30, but this just popped up 5 minutes from my parents place (1 hour from where I currently live). Going to see if I can stop in this weekend to have a look at it in person.

                                Alliston is a potato town and in the middle of no where. Everyone rolls coal and chews Skoal. So to see this out that way is really weird/awesome/rare.

                                Bid for the chance to own a 1975 BMW 2002 Turbo at auction with Bring a Trailer, the home of the best vintage and classic cars online. Lot #4,848.
