djcockrin 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2013 Hey guys just wondering if i should either sale my e30 for a cheap price say 1,000k as the engine overheats when stationary (dont think fan works) the enigne has a slight tick odometre stopped in 2010 and sometimes when its cold the gearbox will stay in its lowest gear until you rev it to around 6.5rpm. The car is extremely striaght sunroof works mint interior etc real nice fresh wof should i part or sell cheap what you reckn any takers? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=614981250 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eagle 1662 Report post Posted July 24, 2013 $1000 seems reasonable from what i can see but thats a 155kw motor and they aren't id call rare. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_Matt_ 42 Report post Posted July 24, 2013 Just put a b35 radiator in and/or get the fan working. Fix the gearbox or convert it. and you have a sweet E30. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djcockrin 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2013 Yeah dollar reverse a good idea, so you reckn just sell it whole and not bother parting out? I havn't seen many e30's with a m30b35 in it so in that sense it is quite rare. Just over the car aye not what I want anymore. Parting out would most likely take awhile but if i can't get over 1.2k for it il just part her Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kaz 64 Report post Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) Same thing happened to my old gearbox. Eventually it gets harder and harder to get out of 1st and will need replacing completely. Do you have an updated trademe link? Edited July 24, 2013 by Kaz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djcockrin 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2013 No removed it off trademe as im not sure on what i wanna do. Is there a market to part out my bmw or no? im not sure if you can see it on this link but anyway http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=614981250 What about putting a japan engine in her? could chuck one in for slightly more than what it would cost to change the m30b35 to manual haha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
e30ftw 410 Report post Posted July 25, 2013 Sell it to someone else who wants an m30 e30, obviously someone has done the hard work why engine swap an already swapped e30? Sell it and buy something else, You always seem to change your mind as soon as you buy something. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
