I am selling my 1990 BMW E30 M3. I purchased the car earlier this year from a friend who owned it for 8 years. My original plan was to slowly restore the car.It had been sitting for some time and rarely driven since 2008. Mileage is 157K, off by 30 miles while I was waiting for the updated odometer gears to come in. Recent maintenance -Rebuilt fuel injectors -New battery -Brake fluid flush-Garagistic Upgraded odometer gears The car had a top end rebuild in 2008, less than 2K miles ago, by M Powered Automotive in Cary, now known as Import Motor Works, I have receipts for the work. The car was repainted what I believe is BMW Oxford Green earlier in its life and the paint is starting to show its age from sitting under a cover. The clearcoat is peeling on the roof, hood, and trunk. Original color was Diamond Schwartz. Highlights -Strong running S14 with fresh top end rebuild and timing chain replacement with S50 tensioner -H&R Swaybars -Powerflex front control arm bushings -Southern car with only one bit of corrosion noted below -Leather is in great shape-Stock car with essentially no modifications-Body is extremely straight with only one or two small dings Considerations -AC is not working and blower only works on high. -Dash has one large crack -Sunroof motor needs replacement / Passenger window switch is finicky -Half dollar sized corrosion bubble at windshield cowl (common on E30) -Shifter bushings need replacement -Brake lining light is on due to pad wear sensor (pads have plenty of life) -Rear Muffler needs replacement -Front Fender lips have cracked paint due to low offset wheels rubbing -1/8” Chip in windshield (repairable) Car is located in Raleigh, NC and I am happy to show it. In summary, this is a strong running car and would look great with a repaint. I have highlighted the issues above, but please understand that the car is 24 years old. I have too many cars for my current parking situation and need to sell it. The car is sold as/is and buyer will need to arrange for pickup from Raleigh, NC.

Please do not bid if you are not planning on completing the transaction. This auction has no reserve, high bidder takes the car home! $500 non refundable deposit due within 24 hours of auction closing.
