This makes 4 (3 running) E30's. Had too....

^I can understand how you feel that way, but you've got to keep it realistic. When it comes down to it, an e30 is an e30. You can't really butcher it.

[MIKe30]

I understand your point. So this means that my 90 325is will be even more desirable than an 89 once I swap all of the things I want! :p

i guess you dont understand my point.

you can get all your parts that you want from any run of the mill e30. you dont need to butcher up an 89is to do it. and yes, what you are doing is butchering up an 89is, imho. that is my point.


but like i said - you do what you want.

[Maluco]

An '89 model is also a non-airbag car. Thats definitely a huge plus!

Who wants an airbag from an almost 20 y/o car hitting your face if you get into a front end collusion?

I'm putting in an M Tech Steering wheel for sure...

Hey Teaguer call me I think I have a buyer for your car as is..

Tell your mom that she does not need to buy my car just to get closer to me . :p

[Maluco]

i say that only because other than the m, its the "most desirable" e30... its an iS so it has all the sport goodies, plus plastic bumpers and already comes w/ellipsoids...


people will pay GOOD money for a clean 89is...

also, you can get a tranny out of any manual e30, dont see why you have to turn an 89is into an autotragic...


but in the end its your car and your decisions.... i was just stating my .02 you do what you want.

exactly...

BTW, someone tell me why is an 89 325is "as rare as it gets"?

He's not exactly planning on parting it out .

Just taking the manual swap parts and a few pieces that his other needs .
Then put this black car back together and sell it .

It still doesn't make sence to part out a good car. Just fix what needs fixed and move on.

+1, for God's sake either flip it or keep it and put some money into that one... 89is is about as rare as it gets, don't part one out if you dont need to!!!

oh btw, how many miles does it have on it?

[MR 325]

Looks like a clean car for the price, very nice.

[Maluco]

Indeed, as the original owner/founder of R3V would say.... however, this purchase was made in order to get me closer to a nice E30. Hence all the shit I am taking from it and putting on mine.

[Digitalwave]

Let us make out dammit.

[Teaguer]

Shaddup , this thread is for e30 owners . :D
