Arlington pick and pull. They always have more bimmers then Lynnwood. Lynnwood does have qite a few e36's, but not a lot of the older ones.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll check it out.

Where did you find that car ? Sweet looking but id loose the wing if it were me. What parts are you looking for

Anacortes. Kind of a bimmer town. I see lots of older models around town, as well as the newest models. I had been searching for a clean E30 for quite some time. This one just happened to fall in my lap. PO was a cool guy and was adamant that the car go to another enthusiast.

What's wrong with the wing? From what i've found it seems to be a late model Hartge spoiler... The PO said it had skirts and a lip but were stolen before he moved here from Georgia. Didn't say what kind but mentioned they were "options".

As for parts, im looking to piece together a full 5-spd swap. Suspension parts and wheel spacers as well. Also would like to convert my quarter windows to pop-outs.

I have a lighting fetish and recently purchased epsiloids but i plan on retrofitting some high-quality HID projectors. Some lids/euro grilles to compliment them would be cool... Let me know what you've got.

There is a few low miles ones on eBay. Wow! And so clean also! For people that can afford it, get one while the prices are still lower then will be in the future!

I'm actually in the market for an E30 M3 right now and cars like this are the reason I think I will have trouble finding a reasonably priced one.

Ya also looking here, wish a nice 10-15k stock m3 would pop up, my father wants an investment and these seem to be the ticket at the moment, wish people would stop with the overpricing though.

Tell your dad to buy in my car, is rarer than A M3. Lol and cheaper!

There are also much less of the original (real) MT2 cars, not just the appearance package. I have a feeling they will start to really shoot up in value here soon. I love your vert. lol

[Wschnitz]

Ya I like the vert a lot roman, however it's the M3 bug that's got us haha.

I hope your right Austin. and thanks. :) I love it too. I just really want to get started on the henna car. but this has gotta go first. and Will, you guys could have an s50 swap with a 5speed and 5 lug conversion all done to the vert and be into it less than an m3. lol. Ill make you guys a killer deal on it since I know it would be going to a good home. Just a thought. :) and its local so no worries on shipping!

[Pdxseth]

Well shes home!!
I'm a little confused, door jam says it was imported in 82 by Joseph Larson I thought 83 was the first year of the e30

[kid325e]

So what's the plan with it? Does it have the title?

Two most important questions for me at this moment. Looks clean though!

First thing on the list is to attempt to get a title. If I get a title the 2.7i I'm building is getting dropped in and my eta's getting a 24v or maybe lax. Other than that I'm gonna try to straighten out the dents cut/buff the paint, drop it on some nice 3 piece wheels and call it a day.

[Wschnitz]

If it's an 83 then it was probably built in 82, just like how right now you can go buy a 2014 BMW in 2013 you could buy a 83 BMW in 82.

Looks like its a shitty respray. Guess I will be dismantling the entire car and repainting it.

You got a steal, wish I had found it, I'd go full mtech 1 on it with the money saved.

[Pdxseth]

All the electricals work it even turns over I'm pretty Impressed. I need someone who.knows k Tronic to help me sort this out I might be able to get the b23 running! I'm wondering if I may be able to source parts from an m20 e21

[Wschnitz]

Shouldn't a lot of m20 parts be the same all over? As long as the head pistons and block are good it should be very similar I would think
