CAR IS SOLD, THANK YOU FOR ALL THE HELP WHILE I WAS WORKING ON IT

Now I know what it feels like to put your kid up for sale...

Moving soon and have nowhere to continue the work on this project so I am forced to sell it.

CL Link http://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/cto/1849614763.html

She starts and runs great with a lot of new parts.

The good
-Working power windows
-To tune the car up I have replaced the following and all have less than 200 miles on them.
-I also inspected the timing while I did the water pump and it looks to have been done recently before I bought the car.
-Fuel Filter
-Air Filter
-Valve Cover Gasket
-Spark Plug Gaskets
-Plugs
-O2 Sensor
-Intake Manifold Gasket
-Throttle Body Gasket
-Crankshaft Seal
-Alternator Belt
-WATER PUMP W/GASKET
-Fan Clutch
-Temperature Sending Unit
-Temp Sensor
-Temp Switch
-Radiator
-Dynomax Super Turbo Muffler with new exhaust from the cat back
-New Roundels Front and Back
-Sunroof Replaced
-I have a second set of 14 inch basket weaves with new tires on them and two centercaps along with the spare so that is 9 BBS wheels total
-I did the popular "mess under the intake" fix for this car by removing the useless throttle body heater plate and replacing the vac lines.
-Front lip is from a volvo which is a popular replacement

The Bad
-Suspension + Brakes are worn
-Only rust on car is small amount on the inside edge of where the trunk closes
-While the back seat is in good condition the fronts are needing to be replaced and I took the carpet out
-A few small dents on body that will be easy to remove
-I have the original front strut towers with the wheel speed sensor but the previous owner did not install the wheel speed sensor when he replaced it so I have unplugged the ABS.
-Odometer is at 86,000 or so miles and does not work

Not looking to entertain tire kickers, feel free to email me if you want to see the car. I have the title available.

Looks pretty nice, glws. Would you be interested in selling a set of the bbs wheels separately? Thank you.

Ditto if you're moving to Pittsburgh. If shipping up across parts of eight states didn't double the cost I wouldn't hesistate to liquidate my other BMWs for yours!

Is it just me, or are there very few good plastic bumper e30's left to work with? I looked at a decent 325i recently and it had a lot going for it. It was the only e30 for sale in the SW PA area in over a month. The rust was the biggest problem...rear fender, a-pillar and likely the front frame quarters all needed attention. The needs of my project '87 325 kept me from making an offer.

If you find a nice one down my way let me know. I can take pics or video & make sure it gets on the truck for you. I have considered picking cars up in NC and FL to drive back up while I'm there visiting family.

I will sell the spare set of wheels with the newish tires seperate. I drove the car for the first time yesterday since March and it required a jump and after a few miles it looks like the battery might be bad so I am asking $1500 with the spare wheels and tires and $1350 without. Also comes with original manual, haynes manual, and a new Bentley manual. Looking to sell asap.

id be interested in those spare wheels

phrekus · « **Reply #8 on:** July 21, 2010, 01:55:34 PM »

The extra wheels are oxidized but I have seen people work wonders with cleaner. Like I mentioned before the tires are like new. $150 for wheels and tires pick up only.
