1992 BMW E30 Convertible with factory Hardtop and factory installed MTechnic II trim
VINWBABB2317NEC27781
I purchased this car from the second owner in 2014.
He had done an extensive restoration as listed below spending well over thirty thousand dollars. His restoration was over a three year period finishing in 2007. The car was kept in a climate controlled warehouse and driven rarely from 2007 until my purchase in 2014.
The main reason that I am selling it is that for me, it is too nice a car to drive daily and I do not have a garage to keep it in. Plus I own six vehicles with only two drivers in my household. Whoever buys this car will be getting a great looking and rare E30. And will have an appreciating classic that can be driven anywhere with dependability and comfort.
Resto details;
All parts used in the restoration were new OEM BMW parts sourced from all over the world. Many are no longer available from BMW directly and were purchased from dealerships and resellers.
The only exceptions to this are the lowering springs and shocks which are H&R. The stereo system is Alpine with Alpine speakers in the original locations. All the gauges are OEM but were refaced in white. And the exhaust system is OEM but has Borla tips.
The car was disassembled prepped and refinished in the OE Alpine White.
Antenna and third brake light were removed and filled.
The hardtop was stripped, new OE glass installed, new OE hardware and gaskets, headliner replaced and refinished in OE Alpine White. Original MTech body parts were cracked or missing and all were replaced with OE parts ($3500 in parts alone).
Soft top was converted from electric powered to manual and works smoothly. Soft top is worn but has no tears or rips, does not leak and rear window is clear.
Complete disassembly of interior. Dash and center console recovered, new OEM carpet and mats replaced with new hardware as needed. Sport seats, door panels and side panels recovered in Lotus leather and OE Mtechnic cloth inserts. Plastic/vinyl interior parts were replaced or refinished as needed. Rear OEM headrests were added.

Drivetrain is stock and original with 132,000+ miles on it. All gaskets and hoses were replaced in 2007. The vehicle has been properly maintained all of its life and runs/operates as designed with no issues. No rust and no wrecks
The car runs and drives without issue and everything works as it should.
The interior is as good as the day installed
The paint on the car is also still in excellent condition,except for nicks in the front spoiler from rocks and road debris. The paint on the hardtop is still in very good shape except the clear coat is peeling around the back window.
