Picked this up a 86 325e this weekend for 300 bucks. Already has Recaro Seats, STS, Exhaust, Wheels, K&N filter, and Suspension. Timing belt snapped so it needs a new motor. I already have a guy that is willing to give me one he has laying around. Not a bad deal. I am super excited about the car. I love E30s so much.

Sticker I added

One more thing. These were taken with my Droid. Holy crap they are good. Got to love new phones.

why the hell does utah not have shit for cheap cars that are cool?

excellent find. definitely worth it. go with some john deere tractor paint... blitz black. saw an E30 dressed up in it and its quite beautiful.

First I was like $300 WTF? Then I saw snapped a timing belt nuff said lol. That's one of the bad things about those. They look good though, havr ant ics of the inside?

^^Is that one yours?

 

[mikebontoft]

Man I wish it was... just posting what it looks like.

actually the local ad had an E30 or something like that for $500 not the best condition but I had no money

What is that thing next to driver side headlight? Does this car have a turbo or that's for the intake to get more cold air?.

Great car for HPDE. Nice pick up. I love the French fogs on that flat black one. HOT!

Nice find. Have fun. [thumb]

Ive seen those cars with the M3 v6 engines swapped in. Crazy fast at the track. Always loved the simple clean look of the E30 chassis.

It mates with a K&N filter for better Air flow. I may take it off and put the Highbeam back on so I can throw yellow film on. I love that look.

Thanks for the comments. I am really excited about this car. I just bought a BMW Z3 steering rack, small lip spoiler, Euro Plate, and new tail lights since the previous owner blacked them out so much you can see the light.

still 300 bucks for that clean of a classic BMW...its a steal!

 

[WUGcatsvt]

Yeah. I also have a free engine lined up for it. So 300 dollars, a little work and Bam I still have a 300 dollar running car

 

[mikebontoft]

yup thats a hell of a deal.

found a red one here for $800 with no motor. oh well

 

[GodLovesUgly]

sweet find!! DSP anyone??? [grinking]

this is my buddies
Ohlins FTW!

we have another in the club that has the m3 motor swapped like someone mentioned earlier.

 

[WUGcatsvt]

My plans are to Run DSP. Plans are for a 325i head with the 2.7 liter Bottom. This will take a while to complete though.

Forgot, I purchased an E36 Steering rack last night as well.

 

[2002greenzx3]

[darkstar]

Definitely nice score and perfect race car project candidate! I always have a soft spot for E30
