Welcome and thank you for visiting my auction today. First, let me say that you are dealing with a Mercedes and BMW car enthusiast that enjoy collecting and driving these types of vehicles, and have been an EBay member since 2001 with a perfect score of 100%, so rest assure that you are dealing with a responsible and serious person.
Please read all the informations listed on this auction, as I took my time in writing this listing to represent my car very accurately to the next buyer. I have purchased and sold some very nice and expensive cars here on Ebay, and always received a 100% feed back from all the buyers and sellers I have dealt with. I will NOT bore you with all the stats and history behind this classic 25 years old BMW E30 M3 conversion. If you are looking at my listing you probably know the back ground of this fine automobile, and if you don’t, I strongly suggest to Google this car for more info.
You are looking at a 1989 BMW E30 M3 Convertible conversion. This is an amazing car, and in my opinion the most beautiful convertible for its era, and hopefully BMW will bring back this model to production soon.
The car: The Ultimate Driving Experience
1989 BMW E30 Cabriolet “swartz black” (repaint in original color about 3 years ago) with factory HEATED tan SPORT interior package (RARE), black ORIGINAL manual convertible top in great condition, 5 speeds transmission, sport seats in immaculate condition, power windows, door locks, mirrors. There are no signs of accidents (verified by Carfax and Autocheck), NO rust/rots or abuse on this beautiful E30 M3 conversion. I would rate the body of the car a strong 9 out of 10 with one or two minor surface scratches that are hardly noticeable. The interior is near flawless (some minor cracking on the driver seat please see the picture on this add) with no rips or tears in the seats, carpet or panels.
This E30 was always garaged in my Virginia home and spent the summers in my vacation home in MA. This BMW is currently registered and fully insured.
I also have done some tasteful upgrades to satisfy my middle life crisis (as my wife puts it), and performed some mechanical and esthetic enhancements to make this E30 M3 conversion look and run perfect.
An S52 (3.2L) motor and 5spd transmission from a 1999 BMW M3 with less than 60,000 miles and accumulated about 15K miles since the swap (VIN number of the donor car is available to check accuracy of the mileage upon request to serious bidders), converted to OBD1 about 4 years ago.
New valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, front and rear main seals, oil filter housing gasket, sparkplugs, low temp thermostat, new clutch, belts, radiator, new over flow tank, pulley, cold air intake, and much more that I can’t remember.
All the AC lines were custom fabricated with a new compressor, evaporator, brackets…(you got the picture), and the system is fully operational thru all the settings which is very rare.

Included in the sale is the very rare Hard Top in mint condition that I purchased 3 years ago for $1300 (a great addition, which changes the look of this car, it can be used in the winter months, and YES it comes with the original BMW stand and BMW cover which is very RARE), and I even have the plugs to cover the holes while not in use!
Also included is the E36 M3 rear view mirror, the M// stitched brake and shift leather boots (not installed) and the windscreen
I imported all the E30 M3 body panels from BMW in Europe as they are not available here in the US any longer (All genuine OEM steel quarter panels with receipts not the cheap fiberglass). All the work was performed to the highest level at a shop in New England and it came up PERFECT! (I also have all the receipts and many additional pictures for the buyer of the build if interested).
This E30 have been meticulously serviced at East Coast Exotics (a BMW specialist) in Yorktown, VA and had only Mobil Synthetic oil. The odometer does not accumulate mileage, but all other gages are all in working condition (not an issue as any car over 10 years is sold as “Mileage exempt”). I have some extra pictures available for any interested party, a clear and clean title on hand, an Autocheck and Carfax reports that shows NO accident history, and 2 keys for the next owner. The only reason this car is I am moving from VA to MA, and not enough garage space for all the cars. Please check my other auction here on EBay (item # 111421017400), 1973 Mercedes 280SEL.
This car is probably a strong 9 out of 10, for a 25 years old car, and they do not come for sale in this condition very often, the pictures speak for themselves. Everything works perfectly, even the side mirrors mechanism!! The engine is powerful and run smoothly. The transmission shifts properly thru all the gears. The paint is in excellent condition and still very shinny (9 out of a 10, please look at the pictures). The interior is in excellent condition (9 out of 10, just refer to the pictures), the dash is free from any cracks and is in pristine condition, the floor mats were recently replaced and will come with the M// logo, the rear seats looks like they never being sat on. The AC and heat are both working properly thru all the settings. All the windows switches have been replaced and operates properly, the heated front seats works great in both the low and high setting and they also slides forward and backward without any hesitation.
