    Agree. Although I wouldn't be opposed to a 5 speed swap.

      Buy another one to screw with. This is a small gold mine your sitting on. Moding the shit out of it and driving it in illlinois during the winter and your pristine car will be just another rusted crap e30 within 4 or 5 years.

        Totally agree. Nothing crazy just few original parts to complete it. And it is sitting in the garage not seeing winter or even rain.
        As of now it is sitting in the garage and my 2017 Lexus IS is sitting outside 😂

          Yes, giving the fact that its auto trans is shifting hard into reverse. Changing oil and filter didn’t do much. So swapping to 5 speed is a viable option.

            Good Lawd! Park that at the local BMW dealer some would think it was new.

            Congrats on finding an amazing survivor. Can't wait to see what you do with her as long as it's "tasteful"

            Haha

              It's super easy and will completely transform the car. Definitely do it. Get the trans, flywheel, pedals, driveshaft and cross member used (or junkyard like I did) and buy the rest new. RealOEM.com is your friend for diagrams and part #'s.

                    Wow. That is immaculate. Great find. Definitely go 215 if you haven't already. I have 205-40-17 and find the ride a bit harsh.
