            welp, I'm looking to pick up an e30 here in the new future. Looking at my options.

            I have a 91 e34 535i auto that shifts perfectly with an m30b35 that was rebuilt 20k ago, clean title 3rd owner dark green, some scratches and a dent on the left passenger door but great condition overall.

            Looking to trade the car for a motor swap, any questions PM me.

                intro..

                Hey guys, just droppin' in to say hi to the PNW crew.

                Recently picked up a '91 325i for $750. Mechanically everything is sound. Just did a tune-up and full inspection. Suspension needs some refurb but overall the car is a peach.

                Anyways, here a few pics from the day i bought it...all i had was my cell...











                First things first: Restoration. After everything is up-to-snuff i'll begin throwing monies at it once the mod bug bites...

                Anyone north of Seattle know of any good junkyards with E30's not totally stripped?

He said he didn't like it/couldn't fix it because everything is in German I laughed, and asked him what he wanted for it. He said 350$ It took everything I had to play it cool. It's been a good day.

                    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.

                        What're you guys doing when you disconnect your AC Compressors as far as letting the Freon into the air? The answer would seem simple but I figure I'd ask if there was a smart way to do it.

                        Thanks. Happy Sunday.

                            Wonder why he decided to sell after all this time? Asking price seems pretty optimistic for its current state.

                              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.

                                I sorta am too, but I think I'll just buy a shell and build off that. Hell, even nice bodies with 4 lug and no drivetrain or interior are fetching $6k+. Ridiculous.

                                Used to be able to buy a good runner/driver for around that much, just a couple years ago. Time is a weird thing...
