got pics and a ballpark price?

330ci05 · 03-12-2009, 03:19 PM

um,, what would be a fair price??

keep in mind, it's a 87 so NO MORE E-TEST

Depends on rust. When are you available for me to look at it? In need of a cheap car for a friend.

PO made a mistake. It blew the timing belt.

If somebody can get this and a motor/refresh parts for a good price, They're only 1 weekend away from having a cheap good running E30!

Stay far away from him. Seriously though, how much do you want for it? I've got someone in need of a beater.

^ Think so too. It's his winter beater so i guess he took it to non bmw place and they got no idea about the car.

i knew something looked funny about this post. M10's have the timing chains not the M20's.

spoony_prelude · 03-13-2009, 09:41 AM

^^^Good good then, i was looking at this like wtf, mine didnt have a chain why would this one!? I started feeling like an uneducated turd for a sec! lol

^nah that is all good. The best kicker is when some dude says how he did belt on his bimmer but in fact the car has no t-belt, it uses the chain.

E30Rider · 03-13-2009, 12:22 PM

i thought these things where timming belt before 90 or 91 when they starting coiming out timming chains

everlast · 03-13-2009, 12:24 PM

All m20 motors have belts.

330ci05 · 03-14-2009, 09:53 AM

sorry i was told it was a chain lol,,, but anyways the car is sold already.... the guy might fix it and sell it, so keep your eye out if anyone is still interested....
