  1. Short answer, it's an E38.

    And with yours being modified it's probably been owned by a lot of people who bought it (most likely on finance) because it was cheap, and it was a "pimpin gangster" BMW. Then when it came to ownership and maintenance costs they all realised they couldn't afford it so flicked it on.


  2. Well, this thread is going nowhere.

    OP, it seems you and technology don't get along. But that doesn't mean you need to swear at people on the internet about it.

    Try smiling sometime, you might enjoy it.

    Thread closed.


  3. Hondafit, you've just posted a thread which I removed which said you wanted to buy a "BMW sports" for under $30k

    Now you're trying to negotiate a price of $2500 on an old E30... what gives? Also most of your other posts are pointless rubbish.

    Either start contributing to the forum properly or I'll get admin to remove your account.


  4. A camgrind will cost you around $400... an aftermarket cam like a Shrick $600 - 800 (last time I looked years ago)

    Might almost be cheaper throwing a whole second hand engine in... obviously once the cam is worn you're likely to run into other things that need doing, valve springs / valve seats / lapping etc etc.


  5. Fake brembo caliper covers? Really!?

    Thought this project was going in a good direction, but now with this along with you having to be talked out of Kingstars I'm not so sure.

    Don't be a ricer... Just be patient and do things properly.


  6. E34's generally look like they're jacked up in the front, but that's due to the shape of the arches. The car should still sit level on a flat surface.

    As for the paint issue, I guess the easiest way to tell if it's had a respray would be pulling off a door card to see what colour it is on the inside of the door. However, if they've gone to the trouble of spraying door jambs / underbonnet etc, then why would they mask around a paint code sticker? Maybe someone has replaced the sticker but just got the colour name wrong.

    Looks like a good buy though. Make sure you do cooling system maintenance to if you haven't already. Jatco jerk will probably be terminal, but as long as it's not flaring during changes yet it will probably last a while.
