This is my car....

I can work with GRM folks on price a little bit. Also would take an interesting trade (which is saying a lot for this forum) and cash on top. The car is a daily driver. Basically selling to fund racing.

Is that a factory color?

I have seen this car in person and it looks very nice! Without ever having inspected it closely I would be willing to bet that the overall condition is excellent and the ad undersells it a little.

If I had room for another car this combination would tempt me greatly: a trustworthy, enthusiast / racer maintained, all wheel drive, manual e30 without rust and a few tasteful mods... this should make someone very happy.

Yeah, not a factory color. PO did an excellent respray in this green and painted the trim black. I might snap some additional pics as the ones in the ad don't really do it justice. Tough to find an ix model with properly functional awd and virtually no rust. The Miller mods, Magnaflow, and crack free dash are kind of a bonus.

cool car. I had one a long time back (auto though, alas). The car was the most amazing thing I have EVER driven in snow.

I've owned this type of BMW before. They are really interesting and fun cars, but they have quite a few specialized, one model only components. If you're a BMW fan, they are certainly worth giving a try.

Oh, and the stock wheels work GREAT on a Miata.

You don't happen to have a set of the stock wheels, do you? I foolishly sold mine after having them take up space in the garage forever and then wound up buying a Miata.

Had a 4 door one and as Brett_Murphy warns, there are some IX only parts that make it interesting just to get brakes and struts done. Put some Miata spec wheels on it as the stock wheels were all a little bent. Ran strong with crazy torque out of the corners. The back end would play nice on the dirt but the steering ratio was sooooo slow it made rallycrossing it a great teacher of thinking ahead with very fast arm movements.

My friend and I Rallycrossed our car but decided due to family changes in both our families to sell it for what we paid for it.

Very much worth it for a rallycross project or to use as a winter car.
