Here is a short video from cold start, driving and after approximately 50 miles total for day. Tried to capture every type of driving normal cars do, including if you pay attention, avoiding traffic barrels in the middle of the road:)

After record of work, photos and build presentation was submitted to Hagerty, They suggested vehicle to be insured at guaranteed value of $90,000 as of 10/2017. So if new owner uses Hagerty, established value is done.

Unlike the current e30 M3 example currently for sale on (Bring A Trailer) 35k original with a reserve of $130,000 this vehicle has a reserve of less than half that, also unlike the mentioned vehicle, which is a total collector, this is a driver collectible. With the current maintenance and work/parts done it should last many, many, more years on the road with minimal upkeep and currently needs no service. Vanos, bearings, guides, seals, rockers and cam gears, oil gear, and valve adjustments are all done. Tires are new wit, 1500 miles, all suspension drive-train and such also hav, 1500 miles. Brakes completely redone from master and booster, lines, rebuilt calipers, pads and all disks <1500miles.
It is 30 years old, it does have a few rock chips on both the paint and glass. It has very minor surface rust in the trunk area that could use a sand and paint. Sunroof will need a new gasket, which is included, or install the carbon fiber cartridge which is also included. In general the chassis is very clean and solid with a few noted exception in the presentation, please see attached build sheet and breakdown of every little thing I could find.
Included with sale is 1989 M3 with s54
Original mirrors
Gasket for sunroof and carbon fiber cartridge
Tool kit, jack and various other pieces, and BMW original car cover
It comes as shown.
Sale is As Is with no guarantee, I encourage you to come see and inspect, but references are available to condition and drivability.
Service manager at local BMW has seen and driven
Couple individuals at the local cars and coffee have seen and also driven, one has a 90 e30 M3 of his own.
I reserve the right to end auction early due it being for sale local.
I don't have any preferences to where the buyer is, as long as it is paid in full before it leaves and transportation is buyers responsibility, but I will help.
Reason for sale, I'm in Grad school for next 3 years and its expensive and time consuming, I will need to sell 2 or three of my collection, so keep an eye out I will be listing another in a few weeks.
Good Luck!
