It looks a little rough but it has a pretty nice list of parts (e30 m3 suspension swap, etc)

This thing looks awesome

This dude must have had an obscene amount of projects and got bitched at by his wife or is trying to sell everything to buy something else.
Wouldn't be browsing Milwaukee or Chicago CList without seeing that house/driveway at least once.

My point remains.

first off, who the hell cuts the bulkhead at the rear seats?! its structural!
oh yeah, that's right, homer glen guy would. he thinks he knows everything about e30s
that car is way too crusty for 7k. the sunroof delete is taped on.

Thank you! Looks like junk to me.

There are issues here but again not a surprise.
In addition to structural issues, the bulkhead removal raises a safety issue with the battery placement in spare tire well. The battery needs to be fully enclosed in a battery box for the safety of the driver. Any decent organization would fail the car in tech. Hoping the jumper cables were just to start and not a permanent fixture (still, running the cables through the car rather than removing the truck lid raises other questions, maybe "quicker'?)
The tape over the top of the sunroof panel might be OK if the panel is welded or riveted to the roof skin. Looks like the latter. My panel has welded on brackets that are bolted to my cage, and has seam sealer and gorilla tape over the seams to keep out the water when it rains.
I'm assuming the rear trunk clips are because of the gutted bulkhead but if you want weight reduction it would be much better to remove the front hood assembly and use clips there.
Similarly replace the front comfort seat and slider which weighs a lot and offers no support at all for autox or track.
The coil relocated to the top of the passenger fender well could be OK as long as the bracket is bolted through so the coil doesn't come loose. Coil coming loose and banging against the exhaust headers can fry the car's electrics.
Heater core is pulled which is fine, but given Wisconsin you'd want some setup to deal with defogging the windshield.
Taped over hole to the left in the passenger floorboard could be to get access to trans fill hole to run a fill hose? Useful if the case.
If you could pick this up for $3-4k, there is potential. The suspension bits are a plus. Go through it thoroughly to make sure everything is OK mechanical and electrical. Get it up on a lift to check structure and rust. There's been some repainted stuff out of Homer Glenn covering some poor body conditions. You'd also want much more detail on who did the stroker rebuild and how well it was done. Battery box or weld in a new bulkhead depending on who you plan to run with, cage it or add a roll bar at minimum, pick up a used race seat, harnesses, etc., and you could have a fun toy.
By that time / price point though there are other things you could have bought.

Not sure how I missed the cut bulkhead.... it wasn't even done cleanly, just hacked out.
I think my eyes glossed over because I want the coilovers and K1's.

I know it's not an E30, this is what I call the Ultimate Driving Machine.

Rust spots be damned! Take my money!

High mileage but clean 540iT, s62 swap anyone?

Never knew x5's could have pushbars, found part numbers though so they do exist. Not sure if this one is OEM, but it sure is fugly.

Could probably part the wheels and 6-speed swap for a lot more than he's asking.

Decent looking e30, only two shitty pictures though.
https://chicago.craigslist.org/wcl/cto/d/darien-2000-bmw-540i/6801700137.html
Combine this and the 6 speed parts car, and voila, 540i/6 in a cool color and a parts car.

And a manual e90 wagon, higher miles and AWD though.

Pretty fare price imo, I subtract my vote for the e38 to use my "$30k budget" towards this
