I am selling my e30 because I have 3 other vintage BMWs that need my attention. PLEASE READ FULL ADD BEFORE CONTACTING ME WITH QUESTIONS Relisting this for the 3rd time after winners have not paid. Here is the cars back story I got:2 owners ago it was owned by a russian man to kinda restored it back into a driver. He had it painted black, put in another engine, and im assuming this is when the car was converted to manual because I was told it was an automatic. He then sold it to a dad and son in high school. It was the high schoolers daily driver for a few months. One night he hit a curb and shattered the oil pan, kept driving and seized the engine. They put it on craigslist just to get rid of it. I bought it in Statesville, NC and towed it home to Asheville, NC.Im in a BMW group here and found a guy wanting to sell his e30 engine. It was a 91 325i, he let me drive his car and he pulled the engine the next week. Now here is what i did to the car since I've had it:Engine: -New oil pan gasket-New valve cover gasket and cam seals-New air manifold gaskets-New spark plugs-New timing belt+tensioner-New water pump-cleaned injectors-cleaned engine-painted valve cover, air manifold, headers with head rated paint for 2000 degrees-all new fluids for the car (ONLY fluid not changed was diff fluid)-New clutch-New Pressure plate Theres probably a few things im forgetting but basically i refreshed the engine and did all the maintenance. it runs and drives great. I was told the engine had 190,000 miles on it. Transmission doesn't slip or grind Interior:-The seats have some splits, i put black tape over them. Not as bad as most e30 seats, still provides support. The seats works besides the handle on the side thats meant to get people in the back seat, Instead i just put the seat all the way up and tilt it forward.-Back seats are in very good shape-it must have newer carpet because the carpet is nice, has good floor mats too-Dash is CRACK FREE, it was replaced by the russian owner-car had no headliner when i bought it, i just cleaned up the roof and installed roof handles-I installed the part of headliner that holds visors and on board computer OBC-Sunroof works, its the crank type. tilts and rolls back-Sunroof does not leak-The glove box is all there but it does not want to latch for some reason, i think it needs adjusted back more-I have the panel that goes in glove box on top-i have the panel that goes under the steering wheel as well-the hood latch handle broke off so you just pull the cable by hand, i have another handle with full cord to hood included-Replaced odometer gear, it stopped at 88,000 miles. i set it to 90,000 to represent 190,000-Replaced all cluster light bulbs as well-all guages work besides the Tachometer, stopped about a week ago-I recently converted the door panels to black, looks great (they were grey)-OBC in the console doesnt work-Heat blows hot-aftermarket radio headunit and two speakers on rear deck, radio stopped turning on after i replaced the fuse to try to fix tach. it had a 15 amp fuse but called for a 7.5, so i put 7.5 in and now radio wont turn on. Worked well tho, ill continue to mess with it.-Has crack down windshield (pictured) all other glass is good-power windows workOverall interior is probably 7.5/10 MISC:-paint looks great, has a few little scrapes that i took pictures of. but you can only see those if youre right up on the car-The car was pretty dirty when i took pictures, its been too cold to wash, i apologize.-Tires have good tread left.-The bumpers came off a different car, they have some cracks (Pictured). With a little body work and paint they would look brand new-I was told suspension and brakes were done by the russian owner and they feel good to me so i havent touched that stuff car stops good and suspensions rides nice, While crawling under there i noticed some of the front end components looked newer-Has that giant goofy aftermarket muffler on it but it sounds pretty much stock believe it or not. Its from the cat back.-Only rust on car is the rear valence (pictured)... underneath is clean, battery tray is clean, trunk is clean. floor pans clean. clutch master hole is clean-All lights work besides fog lights. i havent even messed with them yet so im not sure whats wrong.-One weird thing is the russian owner painted the car with a convertible trunk lid, so it has the holes for the rear trunk brake light. Theres a towel under it held in place by the tool kit. Ive only driven in heavy rain twice with it, No rain got into the trunk-A/C doesnt work, could just need a recharge, i didnt want to mess with it. But i have an extra AC compressor that comes with car as well-Computer in headliner ("Check" OBC) is usually clear of warning lights but occasionally the oil and coolant light will come on, even tho i check and the levels are fine. Brake light is out so that comes on and licence plate light is out-includes full size spare tire-NEW battery!-central locking system works!-CLEAN NC title in my name-ellipsod headlights work great in the dark TITLE/CAR HISTORY:Just saw the free history report that it does when you list the car on ebay.I was not aware of the collision on the right rear. It appears to have been repaired, I had no idea it had happened and it hasnt caused any abnormal driving problems. The total claim loss was when the guys son hit the curb. He filled a claim to get money for another car for his son. I guess he somehow kept the car or bought it back from the insurance company. This car has more history than i thought! Although I have a clean NC title in my name. Nothing on there says "total loss claim" or "salvage" like those kind of titles would. I will do more research if neccesarry but as far as i know it has a clean title. The car came with 2 big boxes of spare parts i will include with the car. AC compressor, alternator, injectors, console, interior pieces. lots and lots of stuff.I also bought stainless steel headers of ebay that never got installed ill include with the car. Atleast $600 of parts. All yours if you buy the car. I've only put 400 miles on the car since i did the engine swap. So far its ran and drove great, i just need the money more than the car right now. Hate to let it go. I think I've gone over everything on the car pretty well, if you read everything and still have a question feel free to ask me anything. I wrote a lot because I want to be 100% strait up and honest about the car, im not trying to hide anything or be shady. I know the car isnt perfect but it wont take much more to get it there. I Would say its at 90% just needs the small things done to it. That is why the car is not over $8000 like most e30s on here. Its a black on black, 5 speed, small bumper, coupe, thats about as good as it gets EBAY ONLY LET ME LOAD 24 PICS, I HAVE 45 PICS OF CAR. ILL SEND ADDITIONAL PICS OF CAR UPON REQUEST
