Brilliantrot 1990 e30 325is 5sp - 113k M20 2.7L Stroker

[hexagone]

Emergency sale - got a job offer across the country and this was a project I can't keep/finish.

Read carefully...

• 1990 325is
• 5speed
• ~113k (original) miles on chassis
• Fully optioned
• Clean carfax

Background

The previous owner swapped a 2.7L M20 stroker with about 1k on it, rebuilt transmission with similar miles - but did not finish the swap. I don't have documentation or any other supporting info.

I did the following work recently: New battery, new fluids (oil, coolant, brake fluid), new brakes (rotors, pads, rebuilt calipers), new starter. The car was cranking and getting spark, but couldn't turn over.

Towed it to BMW specialists B&D automotive with Ben Thongsai who's going to get it running and connect the shift linkage before a sale. May be replacing tires depending on progress over the next week as current ones are old and leak air.

Exterior:

The car has a really nice body. with the exception of the front left fender (DOT-R) - all original paint, verified with paint gauge (see photos). The underside has surface rust, but sills and battery box are minty. Comes with Euro grilles & correct IS lip.

Interior

Mint. Perfect bolsters, clean carpets and rear seats, uncracked dash, original radio and documentation, untouched. Few cars are like this.

Does NOT come with MT2 steering wheel. Standard airbag wheel is in the car.

What it still needs:

• Suspension is tired and 4x4 status, you'll want to replace that.
• Headers, exhaust, piping and muffler are removed. Included are *new* headers, X-pipe, piping and magna flow muffler - should sound amazing
• Once the car is done at the shop and ready to drive, I would still recommend trailering it home.

Extras

• Tons of spares - switches, buttons, amps
• Headlights, tail lights, fogs, fog ducts
• Extra set of weaves
• Dinan SSK
• Mint rear parcel tray & hi fi speakers
• Rear headrest kit w/ hardware
• Zender spoiler
• Bunch of other stuff....

I do not have any other photos now, that's it - car is at the shop getting finished.


Price: $5800

Put a weekend of work into this guy and you have a $10k E30. The swap alone should be worth the price of admission.

Car is in Chicago.
