Testing NH waters 1991 318i custom

[gearhead133]

As the title says i'm just testing the waters, i don't need to sell and really don't even want to but i'm interested in finding out what i could get for my little e30.

Not trying to hide anything so bad first

BAD:
lost most work orders when my basement got flooded out
bit of a rough idle but runs and drives fine
recently heard a slight rattle in 2nd and 3rd gear (comes and goes)
Speedometer doesn't work and others work when they want (Tach and mpg always work)
some trim pieces on the dash are loose
Aftermarket stereo the previous owner installed comes out very easily
1 inch crack on passenger's side of dash
some rust on the front fenders and underside of the rockers
Doors only unlock through central locking through the trunk
and the passenger rear door has no power to it through the lock or window

in all i think it's in pretty decent condition.

GOOD:
original Diamantschwarz Metallic paint
original M42!
was told it has custom 260 duration cams from previous owner
Lowered on Bilstein coilovers
4:10 LSD rear diff
Magnaflow Catback exhaust welded (VERY loud)
Head gasket replaced in March (no record) had 176xxx now has 188xxx
Clutch has plenty of life on it
recently Chipped
Two sets of headlights including French high beams
Will come with 4 original 14" bottlecaps (3/4 center caps) and 4 15" enkei wdm's both with tires and 16 heat treated locking lug nuts
Sport front seats
6000k HID low beams
Bavauto skid plate
comes with ix front lip and bavauto lip both in sort of rough shape
comes with original suspension as well with billstein upgraded front struts
rear strut bar
Pulls hard for such a small engine

I'm probably forgetting a couple things but it gives you a pretty good idea of what it has in it. I know it's a very custom car and it doesn't suit everyone and i realize this will effect the overall price.

Truly hate to sell it, i love this car. If it doesn't end up selling it'll just go through a rebirth in the spring.

Pictures of the car are in my profile.
Here's a link for the exhaust:

Rebirth it!  The black sedans are pretty rare and unfortunately aren't worth as much as coupes.  It's not one of the sunroof-delete models, is it?  Those are even rarer...I'm told they make great rally cars.  I wouldn't advise doing that to your car though!  Sounds like it's too nice for the track.  GLWS!

BTW - all M42 sedans were a one-year-only base model special.  It's likely the rarest E30 model.  From what I've seen...all were pretty standard cars from what I've seen.  Standard equipment was a 5-speed manual, A/C, ABS, manual sunroof, fogs, plastic airbag wheel, ext. temp sensor, 14" steelies (with groovy plastic covers) and the standard cassette stereo.  I'm also suspecting they only came in red, white, black or silver.  None had LSDs or leather from what I've seen, the only options were the manual sunroof delete and possibly alu wheels.  It was a bargain basement model in 1991...$19,900 out the door!

As for your description...
bit of a rough idle but runs and drives fine (I've never owned what I'd call a smooth M42, but it might be the ICV or the usual vac leaks)
recently heard a slight rattle in 2nd and 3rd gear (loose heat shield, welding debris or potentially cat matrix)
Speedometer doesn't work and others work when they want (check the rear wiring plug on the diff - clean it up with a little electrical contact cleaner, should some right back to life)
Doors only unlock through central locking through the trunk (micro switches have fallen off the door lock mechanisms)
and the passenger rear door has no power to it through the lock or window (might also be a dirty window switch and dead lock solenoid)
