    Build an E30 race car?

    Our team has been endurance racing a BMW E30. We have sold the car and now have lots of parts left over. We would like to sell everything together but will consider offers for specific items. Parts are in Mendon MA $4,750 or best offer for everything.

    1987 E30 325e chassis with full cage (includes 1 set doors, trunk, hood, front fenders which are not attached) – this would be the starting point for building a race car.

    These parts are from other E30’s – could be used with the chassis above or with any E30…


    • 1 set of doors.
    • 1 trunk lid.
    • Complete set of Koni shocks: fronts 8611-1253, rears F5zv-18080-aa. Rebuilding recommended.
    • 1 set of front struts modified for Koni Shocks.
    • 1 set of stock front struts.
    • 2 sets of rear control arms.
    • 1 set of front lower control arms.
    • 1 stock E30 manual transmission (Getrag 260).
    • 1 aluminum fly wheel plus assorted clutch parts.
    • 1 LSD 4:10 ratio
    • 1 LSD 3:25 ratio
    • 2 M20 engine heads
    • 1 M20 short block with aftermarket pistons.
    • 3 intake manifolds and assorted parts (MAF, etc.)
    • 3 oil pans.
    • 1 stock Motronics Computer for M20.
    • 1 stock radiator.
    • 3 lower cross members.
    • 1 set aftermarket front and rear sway bars.
    • 2 pedal assemblies.
    • 4 rear half shafts.
    • 1 steering column.
    • 2 starters.


    These are E36 transmissions which can be used with an E30 (and are appropriate if you are using a higher power engine).


    • 3 ZF transmissions: one good, one good but with welded bell housing, one for parts.


    These are wheels and tires that fit the E30 but have many other applications…


    • 8 TR Motorsports rims 8x15, 4X100 bolt pattern, 20 mm offset with used 245-40/15 BFG Rival S tires.
    • 4 new Maxxis Victra VR-1 S2 245-40/15 tires not mounted.
    • 4 stock E30 14” rims only.
