1985 Bmw E30 Euro Import 323i 330i M60 Swap Project Car 90% Complete on 2040-cars

I am posting my 1985 BMW 323i Euro import coupe for sale because I picked up an E30 M3 and no longer have time or space to finish this project.


the basics:
-1985 BMW E30 coupe. Cosmosblau. Euro car. Euro bumpers, Euro headlights, Euro fogs, Euro grilles, Euro dash clock, Euro cluster, Euro check panel, rear sun shade, etc etc.
- 1994 BMW 3.0 liter V8 M60B30. Alusil updated block. from a 1994 530i sedan
- S5D 310Z 5 speed manual gearbox
- 3.73 Limited Slip differential
- Black leather sport seats
- frenched high beams and fogs
- Mtech spoiler and steering wheel
- original trunk tool kit w. warning triangle and other NLA fun stuff not seen on US spec cars.
- Vogtland springs and Bilstein Sport shocks/struts. under 2000 miles on them.

Whats good:
- body and underbody are SOLID. 99% rust free
- Garagistic V8 swap mount kit, X5 headers, E34 mounts, E34 trans, e36M drive shaft, all that stupid stuff is DONE for you already.
- ZF trans and engine drove awesome in the E34 donor
- Euro car. alone, probably worth half or two thirds my asking price.
- interior is really nice
- CRANK WINDOWS!
- all the Euro goodies are present and work
- suspension is all recently replaced
- V8 sound, and its very fast.

What needs doing:
- needs bolts and gaskets in the downpipes
- current exhaust system is poorly done, and was only done as a stop gap measure. it works, but not pretty.
- radiator leaks. its a 1987 535i radiator, easy to find a new one of luckily.
- needs feed and return lines run to coolant overflow bottle.
- shifter selector rod is the wrong length, only reverse, first third and fifth are reachable in current state. will look for an E36 selector rod and include with the car to correct this.
- no power steering. pump is present as is the rack. you can attach it if you please.
- no fan. electric or viscous on the engine.
- tires are miss-matched and crappy on the basketweave wheels.
- remote brake booster bracket needs to be welded more securely to the car before the car is driven on the roads. currently tack welded.
- brakes need to be bled, as does the clutch.
- tachometer, temperature gauges are inoperable. will include instruction on how to get those to work for the next owner however. not so bad honestly.
-drivers door card has seen better days.


actual mileage unknown. cluster reads 106k.
