Anyone want an entire e30 for parts? SF Bay area
« on: January 25, 2014, 07:02:37 PM »
Got in an accident with my 91 318is today. I'm OK but the car didn't fare as well. Will part it out, but wondering if anyone wants to take the entire thing away this weekend. The engine is in great shape, with just over 100k miles and runs really well. Interior is good too. Everythinge else besides the body is good. Photos of the body damage are here: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/pts/4304788161.html

Bummed about the car and don't really have a place to do a ton of work on it. Hoping the parts can find a good home. Let me know if there's any interest.

Sorry to hear that. Hope you aren't too shaken. Any rare/non-stock parts?
Might be worth it to post on the 2002 and E21 boards, in case anyone is wants to swap in an M42.

Ugh, sorry to hear about your misfortune. Glad you're OK, the car (even an E30) is easily replaced.

Wrong coast for me! Hopefully someone will pick up on your (extremely generous) offer.

Here are some highlights about the non-stock parts. Would love to sell as a unit to someone who wants a project. I can take some more photos of anything, too.

- Kopi Alpina wheels, still in good condition, as well as stock wheels with new snow tires
- After market stereo and speakers - Clarion deck w/iPod and Aux inputs, Pioneer and diamond audio speakers
- H&R sport springs w/ bilstine sport shock absorbers that were new when I bought the car in 2008 (about 20k miles ago)
- No rust on the body
- Glass moonroof
- About 5k miles ago replaced the engine b/c original had a lot of issues. All new timing components in the engine, new water pump, replaced thrust crankshaft bearing, put in a new clutch

Glass moonroof? Wow. Don't see many of them.

I think it would be worth mentioning the condition of the dash.

GLWS.

Yeah, I'm not sure  where the glass moonroof came from, it was in the car when I bought it.

Dash is in good shape - I think there are one or two really small 1/2in. cracks. I can get photos of this today too.
