E30 - 335i (3.5lt) M30 6cyl Engine, 5 speed Getrag Carsales has no ability to list as an E30 335i Seeking EOI – Circa $40,000 First time offered in 16years, this may be of interest to BMW E30 enthusiasts? Its Not an LS or M3 swap. This humble little coupe started out as a 318i – Conversion performed by BM Teknik’s (BMW Specialist) in Bayswater W.A (Andrew Prior) Sourcing a 3.5 M30 6cyl motor with 70,000km stripped down for reliability. * M5 5 speed Getrag, * Large case LSD, * custom front coil-overs, * king springs rear & Koni adjustable inserts, * IS interior, * $4k worth of dual stainless exhaust. It has A/C delete, the evaporator and electrical remain, but would require a compressor and condenser/piping, as it has been “a drive occasionally” car for me & I was not concerned. The car was fully engineered & registered in W.A, later returning to Sydney bringing the the E30 to Syd.. – as NSW engineering authority do not recognise W.A engineering, it was again re-engineered here in Sydney (So, engineering compliance both East & West coast) $10k in engineering alone. This car is parked in a garage under blankets and car cover & has not seen rain in over 15 years, as life throws you curved balls and family take first place, it does not get driven (Perhaps 100- 150km / year) a waste really. Recent service and all fluids replaced registered for 5 months (Full NSW rego – as it has been all the way through). The E30 is currently insured with Shannon’s for $50,000, it has been insured with Shannon’s for over 10 years – they have all documentation / Engineering etc. The car presents as factory fit and drives as factory, (An increase in power – obviously) the car weighs only 1100kg – so power to weight is the bonus. No test pilots please , genuine offers encouraged & will be reviewed. Only then will a discussion be had regarding a test drive and deposit forwarded. Thank you
