I just wanted to chime in here and give a little bit of backstory on the car! I recently purchased the car from my cousin who owns a shop here in Encino shortly after my other car was totaled in a bit of a freak accident! As to the why I'm selling it - there was an import E34 Right Hand Drive, S52 Swapped Car here on BaT that came about a few weeks after I purchased the e30 and I just HAD to have that car! After reserve was not met on the aforementioned E34 listing @performanceautogallery and I worked out a deal and I brought the E34 home hence somewhat making my need for an older BMW slightly obsolete! \r\n\r\nFurthermore user @binbon will be coming by the house later to see the e30!\r\n\r\nIf any additional questions arise please do not hesitate to reach out and ask.\r\n\r\nI do think its formally worth mentioning again that this is the 2nd EVER slicktop sedan e30 sold on BaT! To many people the slicktop element does not mean much, but to a lot of e30 enthusiasts it does carry some merit! \r\n\r\nLastly - as you can notice there is an additional trunk included in the purchase (please see the last images in the gallery) this is the original trunk. The trunk on the vehicle currently is the trunk from a different sedan e30 - my logic behind purchasing a second trunk was; when I was looking at installing and \"is\" lip I did not want to drill holes into the original trunk (it felt almost taboo to do so) so I purchased and painted a different trunk!
