SOLD SOLD SOLD
Selling my beloved E30. I’ve had this car and daily driven it for over 11 years.
We’ve been through a lot together and I’ve put countless hours under the hood with this beauty.
I have many maintenance logs showing all the repairs and scheduled maintenance I’ve done over the years.
Here are some of the cold hard facts about the car you’ll want to know:
Cars Location: San Diego, California
Year: 1988
Body Style: 2- Door
Color: Black (schwartz)
Transmission: 5-Speed, Manual
VIN: WBAAB5407J4286071
Miles: 243,122
Model: 325 (SUPER ETA) - I have done a full conversion making this a “327i” car. I purchased a “885” BimmerHeads rebuilt head. It was ported and polished, new stainless steel valves, HD rockers, 272 Billet Cam, new Valve springs. it had THE WORKS. This was installed in June of 2017. So it’s VERY FRESH
Along with the head: I installed the larger intake manifold and had it professionally powdered coated black.
Installed all new coolant hoses (blue silicon)
Installed a 325i refurbished MAF, 325i Throttle Body and TPS
17.5 LBS M50 injectors which I had fully rebuilt
3.0 Bar Fuel Pressure Regular - brand new
173 ECU with SSSquid 2.7i chip
7K redline tachometer (even put in some cool looking rings)
I used all new high quality gaskets etc everywhere, I took my time and it turned out very nice.
New Bremi Cap and Rotor and STI ignition wire set.
Since then I’ve installed a rebuilt drive shaft and a new Bosch Starter.
The list goes on but you get the picture.
To further compliment the “327i” conversion I installed a 3.73 Diff and removed the dual mass flywheel, installing a single mass “i” one and had it machined down. I put a new clutch disk, pressure plate, TOB, etc in. Changed out ALL the tranny seals etc (I do a very thorough job whenever I work on this car)
Wheels / Tires: Ronal LS 15’ - very nice wheels that are period correct. I had these imported from RONAL in Europe. Less than 2 years old with ZERO curb rash - they are in immaculate condition. They are wrapped in Direzza DZ102 205 / 55 / 15 all around with lots of life left.
Suspension: H&R Race Springs with Bilstein Sport Shocks. Every bushing and mount has been replaced.
Subframe mounts: new Lemforder stock rubber
Trailing Arm bushings: new Lemforder stock rubber
Rear Shock mounts: upgraded E46 “ I believe “ rubber
New Rear Springs Pads
New Front Strut Bearings/mounts
New CAB’s E30 M3 offset version
new sway bar bushings and links
new Lemforder tie rod assemblies
New front wheels bearings/hub assembly
The suspension is very stiff and solid - but not nasty squeaky like you’d get with polly bushings.
Upgrades:
As stated above, full conversion to a 327i stroker motor, freshly rebuilt top end.
Mtech 1 Steering Wheel
X5 3.0 shifter with M weighted shift knob, Leather with M stripe shift boot
E46 M3 Floor Mats
Blue Silicon Coolant/Radiator Hoses
E34 Leather E-Brake handle
E30 Leather E-Brake Boot
Rear Premium Speakers installed (OEM)
RONAL LS Wheels (near mint condition) Less than 2 years old
Genuine Hartge Rear Badge (H28), also have chinese Hartge Badging.
Front Euro Grills
Front Blinkers Clear Smoked
Front Smoked Head lights and high beams
Front Euro Trim
Front Vinyl Sport Seats installed, Driver is near mint condition, and passenger is all mint except a hole which i have covered with a leather patch (looks decent). All the seat shocks have been replaced.
Shadow Trimmed all around the windows (looks very nice)
Windows tinted 35% all around (professionally done)
Recent Wheel alignment
Map light front an “IS” car
Euro Clock installed
Plastic Bumper Conversion
Front IS lip (aftermarket)
AC Delete
Cruse Control Delete
Windshield washer system Delete
Blacked out Front Kindey Grill
Throttle Body Heater Delete (Done Very Nicely - makes engine compartment a lot cleaner)
CD Player with AUX port
Maintence :
I bought this car at 133,XXX miles in 2007 and have meticulously maintained it. I have many of my personal records to show you (I did all the work myself). It’s had oil changes every 3 months or 3,000 miles with Castrol GTX 20W50 every time. Fuel Filters every 10K, timing belts every few years, coolant and brake fluid changes often. Air Filters often. Valves adjust every 10K, new NKG spark plugs. Tranny fluid changed every year. Diff fluid changed often too. You name it, it’s prolly been done with all high quality oils, gaskets and parts.
With that said this is a 30 year old classic and it does have a few beauty marks and a few things that need some attention.
Paint: it’s original and looks very good for it’s age, it does of course have scratches, chips and blemishes etc
Front Driver Side Fender has some damage (see pics)
passenger side door has some dents (see pics)
And the body has small little dings here and there.
The rear wheel bearings just started to make noise a few hundred miles ago and i haven’t got around to replacing them.
The rear Drive axles are going. You can feel it in the driveline if you aren’t smooth with the gas pedal.
Dash has a few cracks (very typical)
Driver side door is squeaky (I have the bushing for it just haven’t gotten around to installing it, part included in the sale)
——————
Overall this is a fantastic car, I really want to see it go to a good home. I have put hundreds of hours of blood seat, tears and $$$$ into this car over the last 10+ years and want to find someone who will appreciate it and make it even better than it is now.
Clean Title, Tags registered until March 2019, Car has lived in California it’s whole life.
Car Passed Smog in June 2018
Price: $7,700 OBO, Cash and only Cash
Serious Buyers PM me and we’ll go from there.
Thanks
