1991 BMW 3-Series

I'm selling my 90% restored e30 318is w/"rare" sunroof delete and M50 motor swap/upgrade.

This car was brought back to life after being discovered in a neighbors backyard. As you can see in the photos. I've completely gone through this vehicle both inside and out to make it look just like it did when it was new. Below is a list of just some of what was done.

M50 motor swap. 3. 73 LSD. New Drive Shaft. New clutch. New lightweight flywheel. royal purple transmission fluid change. royal purple rear end fluid change. smoked Hella Ellipsoid headlights. smoked front and side markers. all new bumper trim. new front valance. tubular headers. full new exhaust. new paint. new front sport seat interior (upholstered in vinyl). new emblems all around. customer keyless entry installed. gauge cluster fully rebuilt. factory correct BBS wheels w/brand new tires. Euro clock upgrade. New front and rear break pads. New front wheel bearing and a bunch more I'm sure I forgot to list.

I've purchased this car solely to bring it back to life. As you can see in the photo's. I have 2 of the exact same model. Everything on the vehicle works as it should excluding the A/C. which can easily be added back. (I didn't want to spend the money or time to do it if someone was just going to rip it back out if they decide to make it a racecar).  The blower and heat work perfectly though.  Car doesn't leak a drop of oil. Only minor leak is power steering fluid. but it's so minor it's almost not worth mentioning.

The car drives good. I've put approximately 300 test miles on it after completion. If I were keeping the car and wanted the drive to be perfect. I'd probably consider replacing some of the steering bushings and possible upgrade the power steering system. However. she drive and feels good the way she is. Just wanted to put that out there for fellow perfectionists.

The paint job I would rate at a 7 out of 10. Only because I missed a few dings here and there when prepping. Other than that. she looks just like new.  

The interior came out great.  All seat shocks have been replaced during the process of re-upholstering them. nbsp;so they look and function like new. The back seat is still the factory vinyl and looks great. The dash had several cracks. so I have a plastic dash cap on it. which cleans it right up.

This car was built to be a daily driver for someone who loves them as much as I do.
Thank you for looking and please don't hesitate to email me with any questions.
