Does anyone up there have James' personal contact? Can someone reach out to him and have him check his PMs here!?

Not to mention every test drive the temp would sit hotter and the creaks and bangs when driving got louder. Definitely a ton of work needed that now I don’t need to worry about 😁.
The s30 in the background is now my one and only money pit, and the only car I would choose over the e30.
1972
5 speed
L28
Originally a silver over red car (my dream combo, may induce vomiting I’m others, though). Now it’s black interior and was resprayed some GM white in the 80s
Overall the perfect combo of early s30 but not too original that I would feel bad modifying it or maybe even cutting the fenders just a wee bit...
white looks great on that car and it's cool to see one on the road as a driver!!! hope you have fun with it!!!

Originally posted by StinkE30 View PostHey guys, been a LONG time since I've posted. Just had a question about current e30 values. I've been out of the scene for awhile, and have finally decided it's time to sell my 325ix that's been sitting for a few years. It starts every time and runs/sounds great but needs a TON of attention on body work and suspension. Where are the values on these things now? Tried to check craigslist, but there are only like 2 listings on the entire west coast (probably a good thing for me then...?). I know in 2012 when I was active, this pile would be worth tenkaybro, but I don't know if e30 tax has gone up or down.
Background: about 2 years ago I sold my decent, straight 318is for $3,000 thinking that was a fair deal, and then came on R3v and saw garbage, rusty, clapped-out 318is's going for like 5kaybreeeeh. I don't want to do that again. Any help would be appreciated!
TL;DR: Haven't been in the scene for at least 7 years. Rough shape 1988 325iX 5speed. $2k range or $5k in 2020? I'll post pictures when I get home!

Yep. Ordered a new rubber bushing for it.
I'm still confused about how this all attaches - The upper and lower steel bows bolt together at the stud. They hold the rubber bushing, which fits in the hole in the shift plate. Does this assembly actually hang from the tunnel sheet metal? I haven't seen a manual installation in person. Otherwise it's all cantilevered off the two forward shift tower mounts at the rear of the gear case.Last edited by LateFan; 07-20-2020, 10:39 AM.
