Are e30m3 and vert seats the same?
Thats what im trying to figure out, it looks that way. I might be missing something
Heres a picture of a all original M3

I have no idea what a fair price is, I have seen anywhere from $400-1000 for a set of seats
They appear to be identical to seats out of a e30 M3, although I could be mistaken
slide, recline, up and down adjustments all work
both side folding adjustments work
Front bolsters adjust but the passenger side doesn't close all the way, and the bottom cushion appears to be sunk a bit. Im assuming some supports need to be tweaked
Leather has no rips or tears, but has plenty of wear as seen. Could be a good set to fill and dye.
I think that they are in pretty good shape, most of them I see have chunks of foam and leather missing.
Really I just have no use for them and would like to hear realistically what you guys think they are worth! I'm thinking $600ish but let me know if it sounds too high or low
Located in downtown MadisonThanks

Random question, are any of the GT40 style cars that race during the vintage weekend authentic originals? I have no idea how the world of vintage GT40's works but it seems like 90% are kit cars
When I was at the last vintage weekend the whole time I was like is a million dollars really ripping past me rn

Graduated college and moved back to Green Bay for a month, then Ill be moving down to the Madison area!
Went to the local pick and pull today to get some parts for my Passat, and found a 99 vert out in the yard. It was 100% rust free and I managed to snag the x-brace, the guy behind the counter let me have it for free
It had a bit of surface rust so I cleaned it up with the wire wheel and sanded it down for paint
Painted it with some high temp caliper paint
Nice that the M3's have the mounting threads in the subframe already, and thankfully all the holes lined up perfect. Took maybe 15 minutes to put it in, start to finish
Pretty happy that I now have an x-brace and it cost me nothing and took little effort to put in!! I was also looking to get a x brace soon because when I dropped my exhaust I found that the OEM cross bar had taken a nasty hit at some point and wasn't even close to straight anymore

Rusted out LTW on BAT!! Crazy to see one so crunchy -

Small update
Old shift linkage is out, new dssr and RTD shifter are in! This shifter is absolutely worth the money and it feels great
I also wanted to make sure everything lined up good so I put in the poly trans mounts first. Really pleased that they only took about 5 minutes to put in
Crawling around under a car really takes a lot of energy 🥵last weekend I picked up the Max Velocity Evo front lip and will be messing around with that tomorrow

When are we getting a 10 month update?
Heres my year and a half update lmao
This past summer I basically did nothing to the car, my Passat sat dead in the street and I just daily drove the M3 in near stock form.
In early November I got the Passat going and the M3 went into hibernation, I've slowly been doing random things here and there and put in a big order recently
My goals for the spring are to have the suspension completely sorted, lose a ton of weight and do some engine upgrades to try and make a little more power, I really want to get into doing some autocross and make a all around nice street car for the weekends that feels a little bit more raw to drive
The first thing I did was a deep clean, the interior and engine bay got pretty dirty driving the car every day last summer
The LTW seats are going to be washed and extracted soon. For a while I really wanted bucket seats but I decided the best thing to do for the car is to just keep the full factory airbags and restraints in place.
Pulled out my broken SAP and got the delete plates
The harness for my HK amp was cut when I got the car, and the radio was missing. All of the speakers were replaced with cheap Infinity ones so I just pulled them all out. I dont really ever listen to music when I drive the car, and believe it or not I probably saved about 40lbs between all of the speakers, the amp and the cassette player
Factory LTW radio delete panel
Next I wanted to pull some more weight, so I moved to the rear of the car to pull out all of the trunk carpet, sound deadening and rear seats. I want to keep this clean, so the factory wires will all be loomed and I'm thinking the rear seat area and trunk will be sprayed and glossed in the factory color by a friend of mine at a body shop in the spring
everything forward interior wise I'm keeping, all of the carpet and interior panels
I've been looking into light weight batteries so I can shed another 25lbs from the rear
I'm going back to plastic headlights because they weigh a lot less then my glass ones, and they also look gross missing all of the inside covers
Brand new floormats
New flex disc, center support bearing, fuel filter, all the bolts and exhaust hangers etc.
For power upgrades I picked up a bimmerworld 3.5" intake elbow and got rid of the asc throttle body.
I also picked up a AFE intake used, but unfortunately the head shield weighs like 20lbs, is rusty af and it doesn't fit quite right with the 3.5" maf even with trimming the bimmerworld elbow a ton. The intake is for a 3" setup, but the inside diameter of the pipe is close to 3.5", it bottle necks right before it to probably around 3.25", but I don't think it'll make a noticeable difference? As long as I can prevent heat soak
Picked up a M50 manifold kit from bimmerworld, and Gibsons came through with a absolutely perfect M50 manifold for like $10
Soon I'll be looking into getting some headers and a tune of some sort
I also picked up a UUC clutch stop, poly trans mounts, shifter rebuild parts and the bimmerworld pedal cover set in black (that I forgot to take pictures of installed)
I'd couldn't recommend the covers more, they are super grippy, not flashy and improve the pedal feel so much
After 2 months, my custom race height RTD V2 shifter and DSSR came in the mail, so I'm really excited with how it's gonna feel
Another thing that I had to wait for and got lucky with, a factory BMW motorsport shift knob to go with the RTD shifter.
@Rekpoint sold me some kind of GT style low rise wing, probably gonna try and get risers for it
Also tracked down a pacific BMW plate frame, from the dealership that my car was sold new at
Andddd on Saturday I'll be picking up a first gen Max Velocity Evo splitter from the Plymouth area!
Sorry this update is all over and I'm a incompetent writer

Now you're talking!
In all seriousness, the mad rush to the stores to buy toilet paper and similar is a bit aggravating, hopefully it won't become something that we have a true shortage of and that people can't get on a normal basis due to the selfishness and shortsightedness of a few.
My school (MSOE) suspended all classes for a week, and then will be going online after that until at least early April. Crazy stuff.
Definitely should've ordered the shifter rebuild parts though, this week would be a perfect time to do it.
UWEC did the same thing. My last semester and I'm pretty much done going to campus I guess. Gonna be interesting

Salvage title and they painted over the original Arctic Silver. They're about $10k+ too high for this car in my opinion but I think the modern wheels look great actually.

It really pains me that I used to see e31's on craigslist for next to nothing around 2013-2014 when I first started getting into BMW's.

Hey boys.
Some of you remember a while back I purchased a barn find e34 M5, I parted it out to the point where nothing of value is really left exterior and interior wise. The car has rust, and lots of it. I wanted to sell my M3 and rebuild the car, but the shell is just too rusty. I live in an apartment and was a little in over my head about pulling the drivetrain, so I'm gonna try to sell the shell with the drivetrain in it in classic ChrisO fashion. Every body panel is rusted or dented except the hood.
Cluster said 190k but the engine history is unknown if it's had work at any point.
Here's whats left
- 99.9% e34 M5 engine bay, has basically everything in it that it came with from the factory
- S38B36 Engine
- Full Wiring harness
- S38B36 ECU
- S38B36 5-speed transmission
- e34 M5 driveshaft
- 92/93 Large case 3.73 LSD
- e34 M5 steering box
- Full front and rear suspension and subframes (SLS deleted)
- e34 M5 sway bars
- e34 M5 brake calipers
- Full all original exhaust
The engine needs work, the two outer cylinders were 130psi, and the 4 inner cylinders were about 60-70psi completely dry and cold, thats really all I know, I didn't do any further testing. Engine turns over fine. No oil/coolant mix in the rad hoses. Borescope showed no chunks missing out of the pistons or anything. When I pulled the valve cover gasket it had a nice creamy oil mix in the head. PO put new oil in it, so the oil on the dipstick is normal. A few things I've noticed, the cam pulse sensor is broken, intake boot is ripped, and every vacuum line is dry rotted.
Hydraulic system is holding pressure and the clutch engages/ disengages, and the brakes work.
Comes with keys and the car will still crank if a battery is in it
Would be everything you'd need to do a full M5 drivetrain and suspension swap. Will roll onto a trailer. Comes on DS2 wheels.
$2800firm!Actually $2500 someone come get it, The trans and diff are worth that alone, make money off me!!
If anyone wants additional info or pics just shoot me a message, and of course anyone is free to come check it out!

Even just importing one would cost several thousands
