How do you pass smog? e30polak 04-27-2008, 12:16 PM No I haven't gotten around to doing that, I might do so depending on the buyer. I have a few places that are cool about smogging a different e30, so that is the way in which I will smog it again. SpunkyE30nOk 04-27-2008, 12:29 PM damn dude that is one hot e30, only thing missing are sports seats, but those are easy enough to come by. sucks you gotta sell it, but good luck! e30polak 04-27-2008, 05:31 PM Well I didn't track it or anything, so the stock seats were comfortable enough. But ya they would be a nice addition to the car for the next owner. Thanks for the kind words. 3LtrdakarM3 04-27-2008, 06:50 PM absolutly amazing. thats all i can say. if i get my money for my car accident fast enough i might have to hit you up. this is what i was planning on doing to my e21 but this is to sexy to pass up good with the sale any way. e30polak 04-27-2008, 07:04 PM Well if it's still here when you get that money, then I am more than welcome to pass it on to another enthusiast. :redspot JBs 04-27-2008, 08:57 PM wow. I want it. let me sell my car first and i'll call you lol. e30polak 04-27-2008, 09:47 PM Well if your serious then I'm down. JBs 04-27-2008, 10:46 PM Well if your serious then I'm down. im half serious. I'm considering a lot of different cars right now, and won't be able to sell my car for a couple months. if you still have it by like september, i'll be serious too. sorry, didn't mean to act like it was an immediate sale, but i am interested. e30polak 04-28-2008, 12:59 AM It's all gravy. If you want to come check it out PM me. Once you drive it, you'll realize why my friends call it the "Change Thief." :woowoo: e30polak 04-28-2008, 11:41 AM Bump :redspot e30polak 04-28-2008, 04:07 PM I will be at bimmerfest with the car for prospective buyers! Pletch 04-28-2008, 05:18 PM great setup! g/l with sale. ballplayer7373 04-28-2008, 08:05 PM Beautiful car, looks like an absolute blast to drive, too bad I won't have my car sold for a month or two yet, and it's still a bit out of my $ range... BUT if you're serious about rides at Bimmerfest, I'd love to take you up on that, I'll be comin up with the SD caravan, so hopefully I'll see ya :D e30polak 04-28-2008, 10:57 PM Fo sho! e30polak 04-29-2008, 10:41 AM Morning bump :shine e30polak 04-29-2008, 08:14 PM Surprising that I haven't heard from any prospective buyers yet... e30polak 04-30-2008, 11:57 AM :redspot Bump e30polak 04-30-2008, 09:24 PM Hopefully I'll have more luck at B-fest, I expected alot more attention. I guess it's more of an e36 based forum anyway...:( jonjon0nline 04-30-2008, 10:54 PM Hopefully I'll have more luck at B-fest, I expected alot more attention. I guess it's more of an e36 based forum anyway...:( Trust me, I'm sure a ton of us want this car. However, it's tough to justify when a clean E36 M3 can be had for around the same price. e30polak 04-30-2008, 11:55 PM Except that my car beats e46 m3s, out handles an e36 m3, and the motor only has 60K miles+a nice list of performance upgrades. But it is an e30. I did this project because I much prefer the e30 bodystyle over the e36, and I love embarassing guys in their e46 m3s, the weaker e36 m3s, gtos, 350zs, g35s, etc. with a 20 year old car :D. But I totally understand where you are coming from. Once you drive an s52 e30 your praise of e36s would go right down the drain. Future95M3 05-01-2008, 01:59 AM nice car man. i'd consider it if i could afford a weekend car. e30polak 05-01-2008, 01:07 PM It's more fun as a daily :buttrock. If I wasn't in such a financial slump, there would be no way I'd sell this. But I have plans to do an m50 NV turbo e30 m3 next :evil2. e30polak 05-01-2008, 10:40 PM :alrightBump e30polak 05-02-2008, 11:54 AM :redspot e30polak 05-03-2008, 01:56 AM Pre Bimmerfest bump :buttrock e30polak 05-03-2008, 08:17 PM *PRICE DROP $10,500 OBO* altdude85 05-03-2008, 08:27 PM Beautiful car.

This would make a good mate for my e30. hecuter 05-06-2008, 09:49 PM Has this car ever had a turbo or super? Who installed the engine - was it a shop or did you do it yourself? Do you have any receipts for the work done? What was the total for the damage to make it a write-off? And finally, can I see some close up shots of the paint, specifically the skirts and diffuser? thx :) Jesse30 05-06-2008, 10:01 PM Has this car ever had a turbo or super?

No the car has never been charged turbo or super. First off, the paint is in great shape, a little bit of oxidation builds up on the trunk and roof if you don't wax it regularly. But remember, except for the rear right quarter-panel, this is all original paint. I will try to get some closer pics of it. Damage cost me $750 my cost with color-sand and professional buffing. Rear quarter was dented in enough to crack the paint, so I had to have it professionally straightened out. The immense amount of oxidation on the paint made it look less worthy, but after it was color-sanded and buffed, the pictures you see were taken. Front brakes were done about 1,500 miles ago (both pads and rotors). Better pads should be bought for more spirited driving, these are just oem ATEs. Oil changed less then 1,000 miles ago, regularly changed since swap was done every 3,5000 miles. Valences could use repainting, since they are texturized I choose not to buff them. There are no skirts, that is just black protective paint on the rockers that could be redone as well. The swap was done by myself and a mechanic over 1 year ago when I used to work for him. There aren't many detailed receipts because many parts either came from the donor vehicle or were sourced from junkyards. The intake setup could use some work for better throttle response, but I'm not going to change that. enhije30 05-07-2008, 04:01 PM Nice ride, e30 s52 swap is the shizz. I would totally buy this car if I was in the market, unfortunately not right now. e30polak 05-07-2008, 11:39 PM Ya it is the shizz, but it gets me into way too much trouble. I've got too heavy of a foot, and it's way too much fun not to in this thing. :buttrock e30polak 05-08-2008, 02:06 PM :help toplezz328 05-08-2008, 06:25 PM ill trade my car for it and even throw the wife in too. weazer6511 05-08-2008, 07:16 PM bump for a sweet looking car, wish i had $$ im only a poor college student e30polak 05-08-2008, 07:42 PM So was I, for over a year while I out the car together.
