Is This Where The E30 Market Is Now..?
jasera94 replied to E30 325i Rag-Top's topic in TradeMe discussions
I think the only way with this one, went and saw it twice. cage is just too nice to cut and its fully resprayed inside. Front strut tower welds are also beast and would not be DIY job. I'm pretty sure it is an M52B28 as it has a dyno for 180whp. -

To get certified the cage needs to be cut out or half so not sure how far he is going to get with that cert... -

https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/316i/listing/5238422426 So it turns out the engine had 260,000 km when installed years ago, with just a skimmed head...not reconditioned. Was driven hard on track and at the drags apparently.. Ticking time bomb? -
It does have (unless this owner has removed them) Mandrel bent downpipes which gave it a deeper sound note. If you do get it change the springs to a stiffer application if not done so already - stock springs were terrible and probably why it felt slow.

This is my old 135i.. I know cause the dash is has a slit that is lifting on the passenger side and I put in the ZHP shifter. This car put me off owning a newer BMW! it spent so much money on fixing it. ABS module failure, Waterpump failure and misfires in the same month. Also always felt slower than my mates 135i..

I followed the auction for it on TM 3 year back when the original builder couldn't get a cert. It eventually was put up for $1 Reserve and went for $13k. -

Looks like the E30V8 might have been sold... did anyone on here buy it? https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/325i/listing/2801624596 -
Check this build thread out, pretty epic.

I found the Trick to the downpipes if doing on stands is holding them up together and twist/ intertwine them towards the turbos, get someone to hold one while you threat the clamps on just tight enough so you can still twist them to align with the exhaust up. Mandrel bent downpipes form Aliexpress were inexpensive and surprisingly good quality.
