1991 318is (e30) Part Out Turner Chip Jackson, MS
« on: February 02, 2016, 12:29:28 PM »
*Update:  have sold several pieces but still have most of car...very busy, so slow going...will still be a while before I have time to pull tranny/clutch exhaust, etc..thanks for the patience.  Meanwhile, still able to do easier access/ship stuff.

I am parting out my e30 318is.  Engine is toast (sudden oil loss due to shattered oil pan from pot hole). 170k on the odometer.  Color is diamond Schwarz...has had a repaint in its history...fair.  Euro front bumper setup (turn signals on fender not on bumper). Interior black...driver's seat shows moderate+ wear, passenger and rears in very good shape.  Only able to pull relatively smaller, easier to access/ship parts at this time, so if you're interested in interior/exterior trim pieces, lights, easily accessible engine bay let me know.  Parting out a vehicle is new to me and time is an issue so please be patient as I figure up prices, shipping, get things pulled etc.

Will still be a while before I'll be in a position to pull more involved items (have new clutchmasters clutch with recently refreshed JB racing flywheel, supersprint muffler, bilstein HDs). Wheels are original 14" basketweaves, overall in good shape, some curb rash, missing one center cap, spare has rash/dent but is serviceable.  Tires have good tread, two falken, and two other(can't recall brand at the moment).  This car was just a fun daily driver. Have had it for five years.  You will see some posts from a year or two ago on this forum on which I was sorting out timing case rebuild...which was successful thanks to the help from this forum...sadly, now, death by pot hole...

I'm sure the oil light did come on...a bit of a touchy subject...I wasn't driving the car...
Will get some photos up in the next day or two.

Did the car have working AC? If so I'd be interested in the compressor.

I'm looking for engine bay trim, i.e. The wiring loom cover and the covers right behind the headlamps. Lmk what you got.
Pi is apparently the multiplier for your engine swap budget as well.

also I've toyed with the idea of getting the chip...what did you notice from it? Worth getting? you're slightly biased since you have one you'd like to sell...but tell me about it please.

also, did your car have a modified exhaust? I'd be interested if you had a supersprint or something interesting.

Hi there, are you selling any window switches?  I might be interested in 2 if you have them.

Hello , Evbrad2002 here... sorry for the lack of response to inquiries!  I have been caught up in the ban problem along with others and just now able to register an alternative username.  I have sent PM to Desktop Dave and hope to have this resolved soon.  Meanwhile, best to reach me via e-mail (evbrad2002@yahoo.com)

Thanks for resolving this so quickly DesktopDave.  I think I've gotten caught up on responses to inquiries.  If I missed someone, let me know.  Several bits gone, but much/most still available.  Slow going and still will be a while before I can get the exhaust, trans, clutch etc, pulled.  Meanwhile can continue to make progress on easier to access items.  Thanks for the patience and interest thus far.
