So to start off, this is one jewel of a car. I have personally owned or built 7 other E30 swaps, both S50 and S52 motors, normally aspirated, turbo or supercharged and looked a dozens more. This particular car is the top of my list. I have only seen a handful that would top this in build quality or caliber of parts used. Don't believe me, compare it.
This particular e30 started its life as a 318is slicktop (no sunroof). That is rare plus an excellent starting point for the purpose of this build which was to be a bad a$$ track day car that looked good on the street. I think misson accomplished on this one. See the list below of the build. Start was a Georgia sourced 318is. Build took 3 years, engine install and conversion done by Bimmerbuddies on the east coast. Professional body shop stripped the 318 down to bare metal, repaired a small (quarter sized) rust hole in the battery tray, and installed the cage and painted the entire car, interior and exterior PPG Starfire Blue Metalic and 6 coats of clear. Most of all the parts were purchased new. This car is a little raw for the street, as it was intended to be a competitive track car, but full of fun and excitement. This car was intended to be in my personal collection for a long time as I thought this was one of the best examples I could find (under $50k), however as occurs with life sometimes, I have not gotten the time to devote to the track I want.

I have a huge list itemizing the parts. Some things everyone will ask, NO POWER STEERING, NO A/C. This was built as a track car. This was an expensive build and is a blast on the track. It will surprise many "fast" cars how quick and agile this e30 is on the track. On the street, well its just a hoot.
