The time has come to sell my E30 M3. The love affair began when I acquired this BMW long ago sometime back in 2004 in non-running condition. The body and chassis were in good shape, and a prime candidate for a complete overhaul. Since then, I've replaced just about everything from engine, suspension to interior along with over $10k in a 2.5L Evo Spec conversion from Turner Motorsport alone. After all said and done, I've driven the vehicle only 2000 well enjoyed miles. Clean California Title on hand, however, apparently their was damage to the rear left quarterpanel which caused the title to be salvaged, but was rebuilt back in 1996 I believe. I've owned the vehicle for aprox 7-8 years so this was all done by previous owner.

My Family is growing with a new baby on the way and between work, family, kids sports, etc... no longer have much time to enjoy the car, hence, why the low miles and why I must sell. The vehicle Runs and Drives EXCELLENT! Starts right up as if it were new. Just missing a few minor misc items to make Perfect. I will ist them below...

looks like the ebay ad is down for some reason. The title situation is interesting. the autocheck from ebay stated the car was salvaged in 1996, but then how can there be a clean title on it today? The car changed hands a few times over the few years fro 1996 until today as well.

you can wash a title moving from state to state. People still do this in Atlanta by buying frame damaged cars out of FL and selling CarFax certified here. Autocheck will pick it up, however Carfax will not.
