Its like selling a m20 turbo e30 for $6k with a blown headgasket....not gunna happen.

I don't see that as an issue since other rust free e30's with no turbo can catch $4000 no sweat.

Exactly very nice examples that are running, this one needs body work as he stated plus a headgasket. We will see were the market liew with this car. The m20 is not helping his case. You could have a s52 e30 for $6-7k that is well sorted and in good condition.

Im not hot-to-trot about getting rid of it which is reflected in the asking price, there are however, quite a lot of people in the world that would love a rust free late model E30 with proper modifications on it. If my asking price just so happens to align with someone who has scoured the regional market for months only to find rusty 325e's and $4000 318is's then what I have on the table may be spot on and a fair transaction can take place.

The ideal scenario is that nobody is interested, time is on my side, and I am able to continue enjoying it as I have the last 5 years, but as it is now, I have no clue when I will be able to tear it down and rebuild it thus my offering it for sale since I may not drive it again for another year or more.

I am not completely against a Nissan motor in this Z3... just not the CA18DET that he has in it.

Would make for a fun track car I am assuming=)

[patsbimmer1]

I am tempted to go look at since it's in Madison and see for myself.  The ad doesn't give me much confidence that he knows exactly what is in the car and probably wasn't maintained well.  Only an assumption of course.

All that power from the sweet Spectre cone filter!

This guy doesn't seem to know much about the car or the swap.  He says that he took it for payment from someone.  Seems like a nice enough guy though.

[I love my E39]

Says he is tired of 5 speed? Suggests does not know how to drive stick, also assumption ofcourse.

I have been texting him and it doesn't seem like he really know's anything about the car but he know's he doesn't know much about it at least.  He kept apologizing when he couldn't answer my questions.  He has a gasket leak between the turbo and mani causing a loss of power.  $10 part.

I want to do burnouts!
