A little rough

[powelli]

Well, I sold my 87 325is back in December and managed to stay away from e30's for what....3 months.

This just arrived last week. 91 318is w/ 146K on it. It is cosmetically rough, but has decent mechanics.

The good. It came with....

JC chip
SSK
MM 16" rims
Full set of Basketweaves w/ centercaps
Set of Steelies w/snows
Suspension Techniques Swaybars
Bilstein Sports
H&R Race Springs
X-Drilled Rotors
Pagid Pads
SS Brake Lines
Schroth Harness
Zender Side Skirts
K&N Intake
IE Fiberglass Trunk Lid
IE Fiberglass Hood
Fixed Camber Plates
Offset Upper Strut Mounts

The bad...

Lower oil pan needs replacing (JB Welded)
Front valence and Passenger fender bent up
Has a fiberglass Mtech2 replica rear bumper on it

If you look under the F/S section, you will see that I am selling an OEM Mtech 2 front bumper & airdam that I bought after the seller assured me that the rear was not fiberglass. Well, since it turned out to be FG, I am now going to take the car back to the stock look. That means that the trim will be replaced and skirts will be coming off. Look for the skirts to post in the F/S section once I figure out what to ask for them.

A couple pics prior to arrival.






In it's new home....

Looks like a seriously ragged on car. Likely owned by come clueless kid that thought it was hot shit.

good luck getting it back in shape.

I like the euro and US sidemarkers. I can't wait to see that thing looking normal.

I'd kill for those wheels... :(

I want 16" MM-II's sooooo bad.

[SebSter]

wow. some greatly mismatched appearance mods. im sure after a bit of work though you'll get it in nice shape.

Yeah, it is a little rough to look at right now. The previous owner claims that there was a Zender airdam on it prior to an encounter with a blown tire. If you look hard at the front, you can see pieces of it still attached to the bumper. I can get the fender, front bumper & rear bumper for about $500 from some local yards and they shouldn't be too difficult to swap on.

After the owner hit that tire, he decided to set it aside as his autocross car....which explains the mods/parts.

Eurospeed88 - Once I get it back to the stock look, I might consider selling the MM's. I really like the look of the Ronal LS rims on these cars. I'll keep you posted.

Sure it will turn out better than what the previous owner had in mind. Good luck with the project. Keep us posted in the Zender skirts ;)

[Bryson]

lets see some pictures of the fiberglass hood and trunklid, mainly the trunklid

[powelli]

Here are a couple pics of the decklid. I am waiting for the hood to arrive.

[Streetspec_iS]

fuck looks, sounds like it could make an interesting track rat. good luck

[Hatchman]

what did you do with that alpine white lip spoiler? im looking for one

[powelli]

Yeah, previous owner had it set aside as his autocross car for the past two years. I'd like to set it up for 50/50 daily/autocross. Wife uses the e46 330i in the background and my other car is a Nissan Pathfinder (15mpg). With the way gas prices are heading, I need to get to using this pretty quickly.

looks like you have the mtech II rear valance and a portion left under the front bumper. :(

Please do. I'm very interested, I would just have to make sure I have the cash ready when you sell them.
