Folks - Kid totaled my e30 318is ... I might be parting out my car so thoughts on what it would be worth - I'd ask that you provide a realistic experience of what this should sell for as a package or as components:
1. Machine shop refreshed low mileage block and head - It was done at Accurate Engines in Lynnwood a little over a year ago. It has 5,145 miles on it since the full rebuild/refresh.
- Everything was disassembled, hot tanked, checked and then reassembled
- Has new rings, honed, head was resurfaced and has new valve stem seal.
- Received all new bearings, balanced crankshaft and Euro Non-AC M42 Flywheel (same weight as M20)
- New oil pump, check valve in block, ehring headgasket
- All new parts - OEM headbolts, crank bolt, cooling elbow, water temp sensor, water pump, thermostat, etc ...
- Injectors - new modern replacements
- Motor mounts were new OEM replacement with about 6k miles on them
- All new timing components - guides, chain, sprockets, plunger
- updated oil pressure relief valve, spring, and circlip - plastic not metal.
- mess under the intake done - silicone hoses and new OEM cooling hoses
- New Intake Boot and new throttle cable
- Car has OEM cruise control installed so that new cable will stay with cruise control package
2. Engine has had four oil changes with the last occurring at 263,913, currently has 265,035 on the odo - Royal Purple Synthetic 20/50 with Lucas Oil Synthetic Additive as recommended by the machinist
3. Has good G240 with refreshed seals and Redline fluid
4. Has good driveshaft with new CSB
5. Has 4.10 LSD with appropriate redline fluid
6. Currently mated with Stromung Exhaust
