    Overpriced??



    Been looking for a good deal for an e30, is the price reflective of the mods? or it it a little steep?

    Looks pretty solid to me, as long as the swap is tidy and has no main issues it looks good. Paint looks good too. That seems to be the price for a solid s52 swap so getting the s54 for around that price is a good deal.

      It's been for sale for a while. The S54 swap is not a cheap swap to do. Really comes down to the quality of everything at that point, it's priced pretty much at the current ceiling for E30's that aren't M3's, M-Tech's, Alpina's, Hartge's, or ACS.
      Drive it hard. Maintain it well.

        OP in case you didn't realize, the car has a front MTech 2 bumper/ valance while the rear is stock still.

          Now please allow me to chime in, as I personally know most of the guys at the shop that did the swap. Spec Motorsports is a great shop (we take my E30 and my dads E46) up there whenever we need work done that we cant do ourselves. Brad (the owner of the shop) is a very stand up guy, and they all do very good work.

            Great price for nice tidy professional S54 swapped car.
            I know the car and they shop that performed the S54 swap. (Jeff & Brad are the owners)
            The swap ...drivetrain and e36M GC coil-over 5-lug are new and were performed competently.
            It was originally swapped with an SMG (first in the US) but was reverted back to a ZF320 5-speed.
            I havent seen it since it's been painted but the cars owner owns a customizing shop and even though he famed out the paint I'm sure it's a quality job.

              Good price, there are swapped S52s that people around me want for that price or for $2000 more: http://cnj.craigslist.org/cto/4883381098.html. Not a fan of the unibrow but it looks nice.

                i haven't seen you post anything in forever. did you sell your car or something?

                that car looks well done but there is some cheesy choices going on like eyebrows and such. genearally, i like it though.
