    BMW 1991 E30 M-Tech 2 S52 M3 Swap Convertible Hard Top

    I purchased this car bone stock in the beginning of 2014 from a private owner. The car is a real full M-Technic 2 appearance package. I brought the car to CAtuned in Sacramento and had all the work performed there. Before owning the car, I gathered all the parts for this project, which included the S52 motor, transmission and so on. Other parts include all the gaskets, nuts and bolts for the rebuilt. The motor went thru a whole rebuilt from the head to the block. I am the third owner, and the previous owner owned the car for more than 16 years. The chassis had 108k miles and the S52 ran strong before pulled. Car does not have AC and is not BAR'D, the buyer would need to take of smog. I have owned the car for more than 5 years now and have put less more than 6k miles on it and it drives great. I rarely drive as I take the public transportation for work so it is time for me to move on and let someone else enjoy. The price is $23k OBO and can be purchased for a lower price, if parts are removed. For example, the hardtop and wheels. Willing to trade, mainly looking for 4 door car, messaged me with what car you have, mileage and condition.

    Condition of the vehicle:

                  Sorry, the trunk was replaced with one without a third brake light. I had it repainted to match the rest of the car at the same time I had them repaint the hood. The rest of the car is original and original paint. There were small dings around the car, and I had someone PDR them.

                    Video

                    You should post a driving video.

                    The last guy that said the car was good....the cluster lit up like a Christmas tree while driving.

                    I am sure you have things button up but still.
