1991 E30 BMW 318is Slicktop S52
1991 BMW 3-Series 318is
1991 318is true Slicktop E30 -
It is time to move on from my E30. The build took just more then 3 years with the majority of work being done by myself and friends of the community. It has only been driven around 550 miles since its completion, as the reason for the sell. I do not have time nor space to keep her any longer. Bimmerbuddies completed the S52 install for me and is known for their top notch work in the community. A close friend owning a local bodyshop repaired a quarter sized rust hole under the battery tray (Common rust area) professionally. He also stripped, painted and installed the cage in the car. It turned out absolutely gorgeous! Many, many pieces were purchased new from the dealer or BimmerZone and have receipts for almost everything. The car will come with extra paint (PPG Starfire Blue Metalic) as well as some original modules and odds and ends that were removed and or replaced.
Originally a Georgia car stored in a barn for 7 years, purchased by a very close friend, stored in a barn for another 3 years, purchased by me in 2014. My hope is that the next owner can and will drive her and or take her to more track events then I could. The original build was to be a raw track car for the street.
