1993 BMW E30 316i Touring- M52B28 2.8 Conversion- Diamond Schwartz Metallic

Hi Here i have for sale my e 30 touring. It started life out as a 316 i which it remained until 2015 when it was parked up in a shed. It was then purchased by the previous owner before me in 2019 i believe, and he began removing the 316 i lump and converting it to an m 52 b 28 from a low mileage e 39 528 i automatic (so the engine hasnt exactly lived a hard life!)Unfortunately the previous owner lost motivation and decided to sell it on I bought it from him earlier this year, purely because of how rust free the shell was, structurally it is very good... a lot better than my other one which is why its a bit of a shame to sell. After buying it i discovered i pretty much had to re-start the conversion due to it being done in a borderline dangerous way. I'd like to think now it has been done to a good standard.Heres the specs and the good bits:Brand new set of H&R sports lowering springs all around Brand new set of Bilstein B 4 shocks all around 3.46 188 medium case diff with sand blasted back plate and polybush mount Correct 320 i propshaft E 30 318 is gearbox E 30 318 is gearbox mount bracket and new rubbers Correct gear linkage etc refreshed bushes New low temperature thermostat New aluminium radiator Complete electric fan set up, with an automatic temperature switch, or a manual override switch inside if in heavy traffic New water pump New tps New maf New cyclone valve Car has been smoke tested and zero vacuum leaks New track rod ends Power steering Electric front windows and sunroof Refreshed headlining Aluminium thermostat housing Custom stainless exhaust system. Sounds great Remapped and EWS deleted ECU E 28 M 5 engine mounts Clio brake servo New clutch New clutch master and slave cylinder New drop links all around 128,000 miles Im sure ive forgotten some things, so please message. The car drives great now. Has nearly full 12 month MOT on it (expired end of July next year) It is very quick, handles well and gets lots of attention. It stays cool whilst driving, and the fan kicks in if it starts to get hot. I have also installed a manual override switch for the fan inside the car, as sometimes in heavy traffic the automatic switch turns off too soon so its useful to have control to ensure you dont get hot! It had one patch of welding on the drivers footwell for its mot, which was sorted. The rest of the underside is extremely clean, i can send pictures.Bodywork wise, it does need tidying up. After being sat in a shed for 5 years it has been peppered in quite a few little dents and dings, some very minor and a few are fairly large. The paint is generally not too bad and i imagine it will polish up really well. There are a few dull spots of paint, specifically the driver rear quarter where it looks like it has had a new rear arch at some point. This job has been done well though, it is only apparent this has been changed when really looking for it... there is a small faint paint line. Also the bottom of the passenger door needs addressing as pictured! Also, the fuel gauge seems to have a mind of its own, but the fuel light does work reliably. Same story with the ABS light.All the glass and all the lights have its registration number etched into them, showing theyre all original to the car and none have been replaced or broken in its lifetime. Factory blue top tint windscreen So yeah, a good car and a nice easy tidy-upper for someone to make absolutely perfect, or keep it how it is and just enjoy it! Its a real shame to be selling this as it is great fun, but i have no-where to store it whilst at uni.Please also note, it will come on its standard 15 inch BBS wheels with toyo proxes. Any questions, or offers, please do not hesitate to message me I am happy to get more detailed pictures of certain areas, or videos etc etc Happy for you to come and view, and take for a test drive if you can prove you're insured.It is ready to drive away, or if thats not possible i can sort delivery.Open to offers near asking price
