Nj 1990 e30 m3 s52

[bemdub]

Car is just about finished..
New pics on page 2



Well after stripping the car down to a bare shell and rebuilding it I have made the decision to let it go. My wife and I are having a baby and the M5 makes more sense to keep.
This E30 M3 was in Performance BMW before I sold it with the turbo S38, since buying the car back last year i have gone through and reworked it to be a complete daily driver.
I was planning on building this one last time and not having to touch it except for BS maintenance issues.

Its a 1990 M3 with around 164k on it painted Viper Red, all fenders/quarters have been widened 3/4". The car has an Evo rear wing with CF adjustable flap, OEM BMW Evo front lip,
and shaved washers on the hood. After removing the S38 the engine bay was completely redone--partially shaved, seam sealed, convertible reinforcements installed and then
primed/base coat/cleared/wet sanded/buffed. The interior was removed including all wiring and any hint of a flake of rust was removed and POR15'd.

The drivetrain is an S52 from a 1998 M3. It has a lightweight flywheel with a brand new Sachs heavy duty clutch on a ZF trans and 3.25 LSD. The motor has Euro HFM with a Turner chip
and OBD 1 cats through a Magnaflow muffler.

The suspension is Ground Control coilovers with Bilstein sports.
Fikse FM10 17x9 front 17x10 rear with no rubbing at all.

I have installed a Pioneer headunit with Iphone/Bluetooth, component speakers up front. The trunk has a custom sub built with the amps mounted within a false floor.

I was building this car with the intentions of being able to drive it anywhere, anytime.
However at this stage in my life i'll stick with the M5 and pay down some bills before the baby comes.

$20,500 However i will take partial trade on a car i can sell to make the difference.

Thanks

Sure did

Can't wait to see pics. This sounds nice...

[twhlax3]

Sure did

i remember this car because it was sold for a smoking price with those HREs. those were my favorite model HRE wheel ever (fortunately owned a set once) and looks so proper on the car. definitely in my top 5 all-time! different car with the turbo s38, but still gorgeous I'm sure. can't wait to see how she sits now. good luck!

Here are a few more pics taken yesterday. The car needs a few more things like mount front bumper and ps sideskirt, align fenders/hood, install headunit, and a few other little things. I am going to try to get them all done by this weekend.

The car is not 100% done as im waiting to get the front bumper back from the painter, and it needs some final assembly which will be a few weeks--I just wanted to get the ball rolling.

I am asking 22k or best offer for everything. However i will take partial trade on a car i can sell to make the difference.

I will get up all pics i have tonight.
Thanks

if i may ask, what happened or where is the turbo s38 motor ??

Car is about done, took it out for a drive yesterday and feels real good.
