    Feeler: 1991 Brilliantrot 318iS

    TOP OFFER I HAVE RECEIVED IS $1,700.

    First off, I should mention the car has a totaled title. The car still runs and drives just fine. The damage is all on the passenger side door/quarter panel as you will see in the pictures.

    I was t-boned by a lady in a GMC truck at the beginning of last July. The car has been stored and covered since the accident. It has been driven around here and there to keep everything functioning.

    I was hoping to give the car to my father who desperately wanted to save this beautiful e30, but my mother stepped in and vetoed that decision. If it were up to me or my father, this car would not be for sale. I had plans to fix it or swap everything over to a clean shell but time, space, and money are not permitting and they won't be for a while unfortunately :(

    Well, lets get to it. Here is pretty much everything about the car and what I can think of that has been done to the car since I've owned it. There will most certainly be a few things I won't be able to recall though. I should mention that when I got the car 4 years ago, it was from SoCal and in essentially pristine stock condition.

    1991 318iS Brilliantrot Red:
    -Interior in excellent condition (1 small tear on side of drivers seat is only belmish)
    -Original paint looks great (color fading slightly on roof and trunk)
    -Is front lip
    -Blacked out kidney's
    -Euro Grills
    -Great condition US ellipsoids
    -Life-time warranty window tint
    -New black leather shift knob/e-brake boots
    -Hartge aftermarket spoiler (needs to be repainted, but not horribly)
    -Coolant flush, drive belts and intake boot replaced ~10k miles ago
    -Oil/filter changed every 3-4k miles with Mobile1 5w-40 synthetic
    -Hand-washed with 2 bucket method
    -New speakers put in by Luke (now German Audio Specialties)
    -Very nice aftermarket deck installed by Luke (GAS^)
    -Nicely tinted tail lights
    -US Plate filler
    -LED interior lights
    -Comes with gunmetal gray basket weaves with fair tread left
    -Lowered on Bilstein shocks/H&R springs setup (Done by Francis and Matt down at West Werks in Redmond)
    -New clutch and flywheel installed by Matt and Francis at West Werks ~15k miles ago
    -Rear Strut Bar
    -Kamotors CAI (Have K&N air-filter I can toss in as well)

    That's as much as I can rattle off the top of my head for now, but I think you get the point. I'm sure there are a few small mods or maintenance things I forgot to mention. I will throw in a few small boxes worth of goodies I have accumulated over the last few years.

    The engine has about 145k miles on it and ran/runs like a champ to this day.

    As for what I'm asking for the car, I really do not know. This car has a LOT of parts in good-excellent condition on it. The cost to repair this damage is steep, but someone will either end up with a premium parts car, or one hell of a rebuilt title e30.

    If you have any further questions or would like to talk money for the car, please PM me! I will be adding pictures shortly, my camera battery is charging at the moment.

    Thanks!
    -Parker

    Here are some pictures. If you want a particular picture taken, just ask. Some parts I mentioned are not on the car right now, but I do have them.








    Mind you the car hasn't been washed or cleaned in over a year.

      I'll have them up shortly. I got quoted around $4-5k by top notch shops in the area.

          I really don't know. I'm not sure what an e30 like this is worth at all. PM me an offer if you are interested, the worst I can say is no.

              I mean someone on here is bound to be good with body work and be able to scoop this up for a fair price and fix it with an end result of a beautiful e30. I may end up parting it out if the price just doesn't seem to make it to a reasonable level.

                      The vultures are out. If you do part it I want the seats, hood and a few other body parts. Cash in hand, have truck to haul it.

                          I would have parted this car down to the bare bone. Sucks about your luck, great looking car.

                              I REALLY want to, but I'm 20 years old and already have another car (an S50 swapped e34 touring with M5 body kit, SUCH a blast to drive). If I had the space, I would already have swapped every single part into a clean shell.

                              I would go that route, but I live with my parents still and we already have 6 cars sitting in the garage and driveway (I'm from a long line of car freaks, and especially BMW/euro car freaks) :D
