    1983 BMW E30 335i

    Have several different priorities in my life these days, and this car just isn't really one of them anymore. I've had it about 8 years at this stage. Started life as a seriously low mileage 323i auto. It has a January 4th 1983 build date, making it one of the oldest E30's globally. Mileage is roughly 54k miles - will update the post with the exact mileage soon.

    The car had a no expense spared M30 transplant and manual conversion done last year by Dave Gormley. This effectively consisted of a full engine rebuild, mostly with genuine BMW parts. Am happy to provide a spreadsheet of parts used to any seriously interested buyers - all receipts are included for an eventual buyer but there's way too much to list here.

    The majority of updates can be viewed here - http://www.backroads.ie/forums/showthread.php?11893-BMW1983-E30-323i

    The car had a glass out respray several years back, however I've never been happy with the end result - so the intent was to have it redone at some stage. Its the only thing which lets the car down imo.

    The car is on vintage tax at 56 per annum. It recently passed its NCT with zero issues.

    Options / parts fitted:

    WMS Front BBK
    Eisenmann exhaust
    Full sports leather interior
    Electric windows / sunroof
    Full Tec 1 kit
    M30B35 engine
    Bilstein B4 shocks
    Eibach Pro Kit
    Retrimmed 370mm Tec 1 steering wheel
    Factory fitted small case 3.23 diff (this will eventually need to be swapped out for a medium case one).
    Black sports leather interior
    Genuine centre armrest
    Genuine cassette holder
    OBC
    BBS 15 inch cross spokes with Kumho Ecsta tyres
    Rear pop-out windows

    Its priced at EUR6500 - pics below.

    Stunning Ken.
    If I had the space and the patience to keep a weekend/summer car I would borrow to buy this one.

    Someone will get a cracking car.

    I know of a guy here in Cork (a Priest) who is going to buy a 323i in the UK in a few weeks. I wonder could this be as good as he is looking at and save him some hassle in importing the other one? I will PM you now.

    Unfortunately not, I was onto the new owner a few months back about selling and he has no intention of selling.
