I have been searching a while for my new E30 toy without any success.

Anyone here owns this car on ebay or know its history?

Small amount of wear to the drivers seat ?? That seat is fucked out of its mind

Dash is cracked, original leather door cards are missing and ones that are there are butchered

Even from the poor quality images he has put up you can tell that the body works is tired and that several panels will need paint

As for the wheels, they are scrap. Nothing rare about them and they are not original wheels

I assume these items such as the wheels and the door card can be replaced?

Can the bubble leather be repaired?

Motorsport door cards are expensive to replace, if you can find them. Bubble leather is I possible to get your hands on, very rare for a set to come up for sale, impossible to find the odd seat or seat cover.

I'd stay away from it, there' very little going for it.

I suppose I will have to be patient and wait for something better to come along!

The seller is lying so much and the car is scrap.

Personally I don't see why the 325i Motorsport is a big deal, plus 250 may have left the BMW factory but rumour has it the city of a thousand trades produced around 5,000 more so the rarity argument isn't there any more :mad:

Only fully documented Motorsports are worth a few bob IMO

This is coming from a 786er- i.e. Me :P

Buying the correct, quality parts to put right what you can see in the photos will be costing you towards £2000 already, and you can be sure from what the magazine inspired photos are hiding, there will be a lot more to do.

It would be ok after a good inspection, and then the correct price being paid.

If I had the space I would take it on. The bubble leather is not a problem as I still have some left over from my last one
