E30 Schnitzer

Recommended Posts

Nice cam cover, but 300hp?!!!!! I think the part in the description "I take it out occasionally" (and play with it) is probably fitting..............

a friend of mine whose owned way to many E30's (in excess of 5) went and saw it and was curious to check it out.

Anyway he made the following observations / conclusions.

1) The exterior and engine bay is green .. rip up the carpet its red

2) There is rust here and there

3) It wasnt hardly better than a standard 325i

4) Steering wheel sits at 7 o'clock direction when going straight

5) was rough as guts

6) Leather is crap condition

7) Speedo doesnt work

8) South African Import

9) Poor respray

10) some rust repairs poorly done though apparently

11) no aircon

12) Brake warning light on

13) paint wearing in engine bay

14) not worth its price

told me to tell people @ bimmersport to steer clear of it as its a dawg.

Surely this guys has it wrong....its a Genuine Racing Dynamics car, 'cos that what the tappet cover says.

Or perhaps he thinks RD is the tuning division of Schnitzer :banghead:

hes just a complete newbie is what he is. I'd say it probably hasnt been given a full service since hes owned it based upon the condition its apparently in.

no idea, but it is strongly suggested you steer clear of it. Mate is willing to bet its not close to 200hp let alone 300.

he owns i think 4 E30's at the present time (thats where they've all gone. Hes owned many in his previous years and would know them inside out.

Q: Well for a start it has a racing dynamics engine. Which is a rare find indeed. Powerplant which rivals the BMW M series rave engine.  posted by: goodtrader (193 )  9:53 pm, Tue 28 Feb
