1984 BMW 3 Series E30

BMW E30 For Sale - Tasmania
I am selling my E30 project car. This has been a no budget project and has so far cost in the region of $50,000, without counting the minor costs.
I have decided to retire from tarmac rally, which I have built the car for and I need the space for new projects.
The car started life as a 1985 323i manual 2 door. It has been fitted with a bored and stroked 2.9 litre engine with extensive modifications. The engine mods are within the allowed spec for Targa Classic competition.
The car has been almost totally rebuilt and the only original (ie, not new) parts in the chassis and driveline are the transmission and drive shaft.
There was a small area of rust in the sills/footwell at the front and this has been cut out and replaced.
The sunroof and cassette has been removed and the old sun roof panel bonded back into the roof.
The car was intended for Classic Thoroughbred Trophy Targa competition and as such. there is a CAMS/Motorsport Australia approved and registered Type 2 cage (half cage). The cage has welded in mounts and a permanently fitted sill bar reinforcing the sill area and providing foot crush protection. There are also demountable lateral bars and forward roof and door bars. There are no roof diagonals or secondary braces on the front laterals but these could be fitted to take the cage to Type 1 spec.
All roll cage demountable joints are with UK sourced FIA spec joiners and a there are sufficient spare joiners for the above modifications.
As the car was intended for road and SI rally rego, the interior has been fitted with sound deadening Resomat and interior carpet.
The chassis upgrades and mods are extensive and include:
• Wheels: 4 x Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 Alloy - 6 wheels with 4 new Bridgestone Potenza road tyres

The ECU has been tuned to start, idle and run but has not been dyno tuned, as the car has not yet left my 400 mtr driveway. It is essentially new and unused.
Everything works and there are no oil or fluid leaks and car feels very strong, bearing in mind that I have not had it out of 2nd gear yet.
I will sell the car with all manuals and any spares I have around, including the software and a (new) Lenovo laptop with all the tuning files.
I have a spreadsheet with all details of parts and costs and the big items total almost $47,000.
I have full photographic records of the original car, donor car, modifications, cage build etc and I happy to make these available to any seriously interested.
I am asking $30,000 and don’t want any silly offers.
