I have sold some very nice and expensive cars here on Ebay, and always received a 100% feed back from all the buyers (please check my Ebay history). I will NOT bore you with all the stats and history behind this classic 26 years old BMW E30 M3 conversion. If you are looking at my listing you probably know the back ground of this fine automobile, and if you don’t, I strongly suggest to Google this car for more info.You are looking at a 1989 BMW E30 M3 Convertible conversion.

The interior is near flawless (some cracking on the driver seat bolster) with no rips or tears in the seats, carpet or panels. This E30 was always garaged in my Virginia home and spent the summers in my vacation home in NH also in a garage.I also have done some tasteful upgrades to satisfy my middle life crisis (as my wife puts it), and performed some mechanical and esthetic enhancements to make this E30 M3 conversion look and run perfect and they are listed below:An S52 (3.2L) motor and 5spd transmission from a 1999 M3 with less than 60,000 miles (at the time of the swap) and accumulated about 15K miles since then (VIN number of the donor car is available to check accuracy of the mileage upon request to serious bidders), converted to OBD1.New valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, front and rear main seals, oil filter housing gasket, sparkplugs, low temp thermostat, new clutch, belts, radiator, new over flow tank, pulley, cold air intake, and much more that I can’t remember.All the AC lines were custom fabricated with a new compressor, evaporator, brakets… and the system is fully operational which is very rare.Porche 944 turbo brake booster3:27 locking rear diff.5lug swap consisting of M3 front lower control arms, spindles, Replaced the rotors, brakes pads, Bilstein struts and H&R springs. upper/lower strutt barE39 style 5s wheels with a polished lip.New tires (less than 1000 miles).Recent alignment All 4 brake calipers are painted Ferrari red with “Brembo” stickers (looks awesome).Battery relocated inside the trunk..Upgraded front and rear bumpers, lower front valence and fog lamps,with IS front lip spoiler.
