I owned this car from 2015 and during this time an enormous amount of works have been done on this car, totalling about £20k in restoration spend. All works supported by a thick pack of recepts and invoices. All works done by the same garage though all these years.

Of couse, the car has followed Inspection I and Inspection II OEM schedule, and has all fresh fluids, brake pads, disks, filters and other expendables.

I restored this car with love and care, and used it since 2015 until 2022 as my main daily driver. It has clocked 137k miles by now, and runs perfectly. Currently MOTed until June 2024.

This car has one non-stock part fitted - BMW E46 purple tag steering rack. This steering rack has 2.7 turns end-to-end as opposed to 4 turns in OEM E30 rack, and is much more pleasant to drive. I still have original steering rack and it will be supplied with the car. Everything else in this car is perfectly stock and OEM wherever possible.

The car also undergone extensive bodywork restoration, and paint was resprayed all around, except for boot lid and the bonnet. The underbody was sealed against rust at the same time. Car has no material rust anywhere and the body is solid.

I will provide a few parts that I have collected but didn't get around to fit, they are all included in the price.

 - replacement rear right trim mould piece, for replacing one near the scratched arch

 - remaining pack of same colour pinstripes, just in case

 - OEM bonnet heat insulation foam pads, to be fitted with bonnet respray

 - original E30 steering rack, can be fitted back if so desired

 - OEM front mudflaps (I don't have fitting brackets for them)

 - OEM rear boot spoiler (not an M-tech, period correct dealer option)

There are some bits that I wanted to finish, but didn't get to, and now probably won't. These are:

 - boot lid paint has some scratches (no rust)

 - bonnet has some odd discoloration on the paint that appeared in the last year

 - there is a scratch on the rear right arch from careless parking some years ago

 - lower sides of the body has paint chips and minor surface rust

All of these issues are visible in the pictures. They are cosmetic and easily fixable by a competent body shop. I no longer want to spend the time on this car, so happy to sell as is.
