^^^ That's what mine looks like as well.

Yours is that 323i that's getting the N54 right?

Yeah that tag looks like what you'd see on a grey market import that came into the country way back in the day for federalization purposes. There was a euro e21 323i for sale a while back that had one very similar. I don't think it's a get out of jail free card allowing any swap (s54?). If you do want to do something along those lines, I'd suggest importing a car after it's 25, because it then becomes a classic/exempt. However a local guy who had an e30 325i touring recently said he had to smog his car....so take it for what it's worth and call around. Just my

Importing a car after 25 years makes it federally exempt, but it still has to pass CA title/smog.

So you can import any car that is 25 years or older into the USA, but to get a CA title, you need to spend 5k or so to get the engine tested, and get it exempted for CA.

e30 problems: I got a 1-crack dash with a GPS thing attached to it and I'm not sure if I should install it or just sell it and keep looking.

whee30 dash was originally crack free but after a couple years it's developed a few--annoying since I always use a sunshade

[Cabriolet]

Nate, i can fit this in my trunk. I've never paid that much for a good dash.

oh shiiiit that's nice. I am interested but it's hard to tell if it's warped from that pic.

yeah I only noticed the crack after I had done 90% of the work of pulling it. sad face.

I briefly went to school in humboldt.. super pretty place. Saw zero E30s there though.

yes, none of the sellers will ship to the US

[mbonanni]

So if you buy for the caps how much for just the wheels?

caps are worth about $200

[mbonanni]

But how much are the wheels worth without the super rare caps?

i paid $1500 for mine in 16x7.5 and wrong color. so 16x9 could be worth 1800 w/o B caps. A caps do fit tho.
