I'm sure most of you know that the 1993 E30 Vert hasbecomevery rare (lowest production year). This 5spd convertible was one of the last E30s ever built.
According to the previous owner, the car wasresprayed about 3 years ago in the correct Schwarz Black.
Work done to the carwithin the last2 years of my ownership:
Front and Rear seats were beautifully reupholstered with Tan German Leatherette(last summer)NEW Bilstein Shocks with H&R Springs and All 4 NEW Shock Mounts(last summer)New oemSoftTop (complete conversion from Power to Manual system was done 2 years ago)New Clutch (2 years ago)
Oil Change (always) with Castrol GTX 20-50(5 months ago)Gear Oil Service with REDLINE (Last Year)New Air Filter and Boschspark plugs (1Year ago)Cold A/Cserviced last summer(I believe 1993 was the only year E30s came stock with the R134 system) Rebuilt Power Steering Rack (3 years ago)New Windshield Wiper Blades(2 months ago)New Shifter Leather Boot(last year)New Hood Shock and Trunk Shocks (last year)New Front Lip (last year)New oem(glass) Fog Lamps LensesNew Floor Mats (this year)New Battery (Costco last summer)New OEM Top Lid and Rear Panels trim pieces.New Thermostat and Temp Sensor-brown (last year)New Fuse Box cover
Most of thework was done by the BMW experts atJMP AutoWerks in Reseda CA
*I believe the Timing Belt Job was done a fewyears ago when the mileage wasat 179k(you can see the sticker on driver's door).
Engine runs great, transmission shifts smoothly, great handling, good brakes. Power windows, mirrors, antenna, rear defogger,gages, interior/exterior lights, indicators, and after market stereoall work as they should.Dashboard is in great shape with the exception of a couple of tiny cracks.
So if you're looking for a long term, classy, reliable, comfortable, adult owned, nice looking E30 Vertthat you can cruise on the weekends, or even use it as adaily driver and not worry about overheating, is here!...Because most of the heavy lifting a typical e30 requires, has been done....I've put a lot of time into this car and would like to see it go into good hands...
Only reason for selling this E30, is becauseI need to down size on the number of cars Iown. This is one of the Most reliable from my collection, but I have 8 other BMWs that need my attention,and I'm getting too old to keep up with that many classiccars...
The few issues with the car that I didn't get a chance to deal with since they were not that serious, are:
Brake Lining Light (probably faulty sensors-common issue on E30s)OBC screen inconsistentA tiny chip in the windshieldCruise Control cable looks to be partially brokenAlso another typical issue with E30s, the driver's door lock is a lil stiff, so I got used to locking from the trunk and only unlocking from the door.Rear plastic windowcould use a professional polishin a few spots.
Clean CA Title in Hand...
