SteelBlue Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 About that time. The WIBIMMERS town bike project car is for sale. Pictures can be found at this CL listing link Text from CL ad listing: Basics:1990 BMW 325i22X,XXX miles on the chassis5 speed manual car from factoryNon-airbag carWhat it does NOT have:MotorTransDriveshaftDifferentialHeadlightsNew or replaced items:Brand new gas tankNew hard feed and return fuel linesNew fuel filter and soft hosesReplaced brake boosterReplaced brake master cylinderRepaired pedal bracket(was cracked, so this was welded)New clutch master cylinderNew clutch master cylinder to clutch line hard lineNew Condor Speed Shop stainless steel braided clutch lineNew slave cylinderNew Lemforder control armsNew control arm bushings and lollipopsNew front sway bar end linksNew hard brake line from passenger to brake master cylinderNew Lemforder front and rear sway bar bushingsNew front sway bar bushing bracketsStainless steel front, mid, and rear brake lineseBay rear drilled and slotted rotorsBroadway wide angle clip on mirrorOther noteworthy items:Currently on 100K mile 325is suspensionSubframe was removed and repaintedFront and rear sway bars were removed and repaintedM-Tech 1 steering wheelCarpets, rear seat, rear decklid, and all door cards were removed and dyed blackDecent tan Recaro sport seatsNon-sagging tan headlinerReplica M-Tech 1 rear spoilerTinted turn signals(vinyl, can be removed)IS front bumper lip(not on car in pictures)Have glovebox(not installed in pictures)The bad:Paint is in okay condition. I don't know what the previous owner did to the roof, but it is very faded and scratched.Has it's fair share of dents, dings, scuffs, and scratches, but is overall a decent car.Has the typical E30 rust spots. The worst spot is the passenger fender. It does not look like it goes through to the chassis.No on board computer(swapped to a euro clock but took it for the new car)The car is 24 valve swap ready. Booster has been moved over on the fire wall to clear the intake manifold for M5X/S5X motors. One forkhead was cut in half and welded to the original one to adapt to the relocated brake booster on the interior of the car where the brake pedal is connected to the brake booster.I wanted to keep this as a longer term project but am dedicating my time and resources to the other car at the moment. This chassis would make for a great auto-x/track, drift, or rally style build. Or clean it up a little for a decent street car.If you do plan to go with an M5X/S5X for the drivetrain, I have a garage welded exhaust made for the Super Sprint eBay headers that has a Vibrant resonator and muffler that I could include for an additional cost.The car will not come on the weaves. Will come on BMW bottle caps.Please text for quickest response. Car is located in Appleton near the Fox River Mall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I probably should have listed it for more, but pricing a rolling shell is different than a running car so I wasn't sure. Regardless, I can't argue getting my asking price wired to me in less than an hour of posting of the ad. Some guy in Cleveland bought it and I'm holding it until he gets the shipping figured out.

Boris3 Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 Even with the bit of rust this was much better than a typical rolling shell given the full interior, other new(er) bits and general e30 inflation. Most rolling shells tend to be gutted. Sport seats alone even beat up have been going for stupid money. But as you said you got your asking and have money in hand (!!) so the deck is clear for other stuff. It will be interesting to see what the buyer's plans are: restore, or gut for race/track car.

He sent me a pic of his garage. It's going to a good home. Boris3, m42b32 and REKIII 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m42b32 Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 When I saw it listed for $650 I knew it would go fast. An Mtech 1 steering wheel alone is $175-200 at this point. Did you put on the replica mtech 1 spoiler by the way? How was the fit? Been considering one since a real mtech 1 is hella expensive now and I don't want to drill the trunk for the e28 version.

Been considering one since a real mtech 1 is hella expensive now and I don't want to drill the trunk for the e28 version. I did. It's okay for the price. It's a one piece fiberglass(or some resin) mold. The benefit is that there are no studs, so you can lay it on top of the trunk to get a fit estimation. You will have to do some sanding and modifying to get a good fit. I just double sided taped mine and there was a fair gap in the middle of it. I also could have installed it either too forward or back on the trunk so the radiuses didn't align. My one thing, you'll always wish you had the real thing(with all replica items). Only reason I got a real E28 M5 one for my other car was because I got an insane deal on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only reason I got a real E28 M5 one for my other car was because I got an insane deal on it. Thanks! I figured the fit wasn't perfect, good to know if I decide to go that route. Couldn't agree more, usually I would suck it up and buy the real thing but its hard to justify $5-600 for a spoiler... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 Wow, that did go fast! I'll be curious to see what he finds for shipping, when one of my cars was marked as non running it got no bites, as soon as that changed it got shipped 2 days later. Part of me hopes to see it again for sale as a shell, just for the amusement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made it very clear that his down payment on the car is non-fundable and that the car is not going on the trailer without the balance being paid before hand. I don’t expect that to be an issue, but just to have all the bases covered. Sounds like he’s already got something arranged as he was talking days of pick up early next week.

Always non nonrefundable deposits. Too many people "Talk" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
