BMW E30 325i 1989 Mtech 2 Base Coupe 2-Door 2.5L - Full Mechanical Restore!

You are bidding on 1, USED BMW E30 325i with genuine front and rear Mtech2 body panels. Since purchasing this car, I have gone thru it with a fine tooth comb. A full mechanical restoration has been done with all receipts. All that is left to complete this car is a paint job and some cosmetic work. An E30 M3 is completely priced out of most people's budget with some going for $36K and up. These E30s are still reasonably priced and are only appreciating in value. The reason I selected this car is if I chose to do an engine swap, it was a perfect base to start from. It is a 2 door and from a highly desirable year. It does not have the heavy airbag equipment. And, the color combination is one of my favorites. All repairs/upgrades were done 2K miles ago. I have owned 14 E30s in my life. I have enjoyed working on them and have done engine swap projects.

Pictures of the restoration are located on my personal website:

Please note that a 4 star rating is considered 'average' by Ebay, and if you feel we have truly done everything in compliance with the details of this listing and our terms and conditions a 5 star rating should be used (which we hope you will do for us), or at least communicate an issue you may have with us so we can correct it for you.

PLEASE READ THIS FOR MORE ON DSR’S: http://pages.ebay.com/help/feedback/detailed-seller-ratings.html

How to leave detailed seller ratings:

You can leave detailed seller ratings on the Leave Feedback page after you leave your overall rating (positive, neutral or negative).

If you choose to leave detailed seller ratings, you must leave them at the same time you leave your overall Feedback rating and comment. When you’re rating the seller, please keep the following in mind:

·Be honest. Objective ratings help sellers improve performance and help future buyers accurately evaluate sellers.

·Review the item title and description before rating the seller on the item as described.

·Consider only business days when evaluating communication. Sellers don’t always check email on weekends and holidays.

·When rating sellers on shipping time, rate the seller on the time it took them to mail the item, not the time it took you to receive the item. You should not hold sellers responsible for delays in mail services, international custom delays or for the time it took for your payment to clear.

·When rating the seller on shipping and handling charges, remember that sellers may charge actual packaging materials costs and a reasonable handling fee to cover the seller’s time and direct costs associated with shipping. For international transactions, you may also be responsible for duties, taxes, and customs clearance fees as requested by country laws.

Where to find detailed seller ratings:

Detailed seller ratings are located on the top of each member’s Feedback Profile. The table shows the seller’s average rating for each criteria, and the number of ratings they’ve received. Average ratings are computed on a rolling 12-month basis and will only appear when at least ten ratings have been received.

If a buyer has left multiple detailed seller ratings, the average of the buyer’s ratings for that seller will be used when calculating the seller’s detailed seller ratings.

-->DSR DESCRIPTION RATING: We always attempt to describe everything to the best of our knowledge in the description and encourage all questions to be asked, or come by in person to examine the item further. Any damage noted is generally listed or photographed.

-->DSR COMMUNICATION: We will always answer any question that is sent to us through the SEND MESSAGE TO SELLER option through Ebay. All e-mails are answered within 24-72 hours. You will receive a copy of your invoice from our company via e-mail once your payment has been received and your order has been entered into our system.

-->DSR SHIPPING TIMES: Shipping times can be slow on large/heavy items and sometimes we have to get special materials for safe transit. Some used parts may have to be pulled from the car and can take up to 5 business days to ship.

-->DSR SHIPPING COSTS: Please note that shipping is based on cost with USPS, plus wages/materials to pay our shipper/staff. Paypal and Merchant Accounts charge us 4% to receive payments on shipping which is factored into the requested amount of the shipping total. Shipping cost is always a grey area and open to personal opinions, but we have it pretty well figured down to 'cost' after eight years.

Please NO NEUTRALS. We would rather have NO FEEDBACK than NEUTRAL.

**NOTE TO FELLOW ENTHUSIASTS:
1) Once an item is received and installed on your automobile, a Fellow Ebayer is welcome to email photos of their Ride to be part of Our RIDE GALLERY. [HERE]
2) If you would like your car showcased, please email a description of your automobile with the photos.
3) Not all cars will be showcased.

Most Importantly, thanks again and HAPPY BIDDING!!!

Hamann BMW M6 Mirror can now cash the checks its body writes

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

Anyone remember the Hamann Mirror? Need a refresher? The Mirror is German tuning company Hamann's idea of a BMW M6. It was shown at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show as an M6 Gran Coupe, sporting a ridiculous paint job and some meaty, multi-spoke 21-inch wheels.
Consider this car the Mirror Mark 2. Based on the M6 Coupe, Hamann has applied a similar visual theme, using the same 21-inch wheels from 2013. Whereas the Gran Coupe rode around with a stock powertrain, though, there's been no such restraint with the two-door Mirror. A fine 620 horsepower is available from the 4.4-liter, biturbocharged V8, an increase of 60 horsepower. Torque is up as well, from 501 pound-feet to a whopping 560, meaning this M6 has speed to match its looks. Hamann claims the Mirror's newfound grunt allows it to hit 62 miles per hour faster than the standard M6 (we'd certainly hope so), although it won't mention a specific number.
The suspension, meanwhile, has been dropped 1.37 inches, or about a third of an inch lower than the Frankfurt Mirror. That drop is complemented by the Mirror's bodywork, including the exposed, carbon fiber hood and the flared fenders, which can now accommodate the enormous 305/25 rear rubber. Hamann has also paid some attention to the front and rear aerodynamics.

BMW 328d confirmed for New York debut

Thu, 14 Mar 2013

Late last year, some of BMW's future diesel plans for the US market were leaked, and we learned that a diesel-powered version of the 3 Series sedan (pictured above in 335i guise) would be coming in the first quarter of 2013. That report appears to be holding true, as BMW has just confirmed the debut of the oil-burning 328d sedan as part of the company's New York Auto Show plans.
The 328d will be powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine good for 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. The rear-wheel-drive sedan will hit 60 miles per hour in 7.2 seconds and fuel economy numbers could "well exceed" 40 miles per gallon. (Official EPA numbers will be released closer to the car's launch.)
Elsewhere on BMW's New York stand, the company will show off the 3 Series Gran Turismo that debuted at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this month, as well as the Concept Active Tourer that we first saw in Paris last fall. Scroll down for the official press blast.

Renderings may show upcoming BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe

Thu, 26 Dec 2013

We've already shown you spy images of the latest member of the BMW Gran Coupe family, the 4 Series Gran Coupe. Following the trend of the larger 6 Series Gran Coupe, the 4 Series variant grafts a spare set of doors onto its two-door body.
Now, the f30post forum has come up with what it says are patent drawings of the new 4GC (originally from Chinese site Autohome.com), giving a glimpse of what the coupe-sedan-thingy looks like without its camo in the way. What we're seeing is seemingly a mix of the 3 Series GT (noticeable around the rear window) with the larger Gran Coupe styling, while retaining the current 4 Series front end.
We can't say it looks great, but as these are merely renderings, it's far too early for us to come to a final conclusion on the overall look of the 4 Series Gran Coupe. Have a look up top at the patent images. We've also included our spy photos of the new Gran Coupe below. Let us know what you think of the latest niche product from BMW down in Comments.
