1991 BMW 318i Part Out Alpine White E30 Sedan Arrival

A new E30 sedan has arrived for a complete parts-only part-out at BMW Buyers of New England.

This is a 1991 BMW 318i 4-door sedan finished in Alpine White with a beige interior. The car is rusty, so it is not being offered as a complete road car. The useful parts are being removed, checked, and sold individually.

The engine was already removed from the chassis, but the running M42 1.8L engine is available, along with the Getrag 240 5-speed manual transmission and a long list of E30 sedan parts.

This 1991 BMW 318i Part-Out is a good opportunity for anyone keeping a late-model E30 on the road, finishing a manual swap, replacing beige interior pieces, or looking for clean Alpine White body panels.

Quick Details

All remaining parts from this car are available. If something is not shown in the video, it may already be gone, but it is still worth asking. BMW Buyers of New England has many other donor cars and a large BMW parts inventory beyond this specific sedan.

This Is a Parts-Only E30 Donor

This 318i is being dismantled for parts. It should not be treated like a used car listing.

The shell has rust, which is common on Northeast E30s. The goal here is to save the good pieces and get them into other cars that need them.

That includes major drivetrain parts, manual swap pieces, beige interior trim, late-model sedan parts, Alpine White panels, glass, lights, wiring, small hardware, and repair sections.

For anyone searching BMW E30 Parts, this BMW part out includes key 1991 BMW 318i E30 Sedan Alpine White BMW components, including M42 engine parts and a Getrag 240 manual transmission setup.

If you need a small bracket, a wiring pigtail, a body cut, or a random E30 piece that rarely shows up in clean condition, ask. Many of the useful parts on a donor car are the pieces that do not make it into the first photo.

Major Drivetrain and Manual Swap Parts

The engine was already removed from the car before this arrival post, but it is available. It is a running M42 1.8L complete engine, which makes it one of the more important pieces from this 318i.

Available drivetrain and manual parts include:

• Running M42 1.8L complete engine

• Getrag 240 5-speed manual transmission

• Rear differential and driveshaft

• Manual pedal box

• Engine harness

• ECU/CPU

• Engine accessories

• Engine-related brackets, mounts, and smaller components by request

  
  

The M42 is the engine that makes the 1991 318i a fun and efficient E30. It is also a useful replacement for another 318i or 318is project where the original engine is tired, missing, or incomplete.

The Getrag 240 is also available from this car. If you are collecting parts for a manual swap, ask about the transmission, pedal box, driveshaft, differential, wiring, and related hardware together. In many cases, the small pieces are what slow a project down.

Exterior Parts and Body Pieces

This Alpine White E30 sedan is rusty, but several exterior pieces are still useful. Many E30s need replacement panels, trim, lighting, bumper pieces, and sedan-specific parts after years of use.

Available exterior and body parts include:

• Alpine White hood

• Alpine White doors

• Alpine White fenders

• Alpine White trunk

• Front bumper crash bar supports

• Rear bumper crash bar supports

• Rear plastic bumper with support, blue

• Crack-free rear taillights

• OEM BMW windshield

• Front grille set with good headlights

• Sunroof with minor rust around the tabs

• 6-piece side body trim set

• Wire cuts

• Body cuts

• Rust repair sections

• Small random exterior parts by request

  
  

The blue rear plastic bumper with support is available, even though it does not match the Alpine White body color. That may still be useful for a driver, a repaint, or a car that needs complete rear bumper hardware.

The sunroof panel has minor rust around the tabs, so ask for close-up photos if that detail matters for your build. The rear taillights are crack-free, which is always worth saving on a late-model E30 sedan.

Body cuts and rust repair sections are available by request. If you are repairing a specific area, describe the section clearly and send reference photos if possible. That makes it easier to confirm whether the donor has the metal you need.

Beige Interior Parts

The beige interior is one of the cleaner parts of this donor. Good E30 interior pieces are getting harder to find, especially items that have not been cut, badly dyed, or heavily worn.

Available interior parts include:

• Rip-free beige comfort seats, front and rear

• Uncut beige carpet

• 2-piece knee kick panel

• Dashboard with minor cracks, approximately 8/10 condition

• 3 out of 4 late-model window motors

• Rust-free complete tool kit

• Small beige trim and interior hardware by request

  
  

The front and rear beige comfort seats are listed as rip-free. That makes them a strong option for a driver-quality interior refresh, especially if the existing seats are torn, split, or sun-damaged.

The beige carpet is uncut. That matters. A clean, uncut E30 carpet saves time and keeps the interior looking correct once installed.

The dash has minor cracks and is rated around 8/10 condition. It is not being described as perfect, but it may be a solid upgrade for a car with a badly split or warped dash.

The complete tool kit is also available and described as rust-free. Complete E30 tool kits are often missing pieces, so this is a good item to ask about early.

Wheels, Exhaust, Glass, and Lighting

This donor also has several useful bolt-on parts outside the main drivetrain and interior list.

Available items include:

• New never-installed muffler

• Four 14-inch steel wheels with caps

• Tires with approximately 90% tread

• OEM BMW windshield

• Front grille set with good headlights

• Crack-free rear taillights

  
  

The four 14-inch steel wheels include caps, and the tires are estimated at around 90% tread. This can be a practical setup for a driver, storage rollers, or a car being brought back from a long sit.

The muffler is new and never installed. If your E30 exhaust is patched, loud, or rusted through, this is worth asking about.

The OEM BMW windshield is also available. Large glass is usually best handled through local pickup or delivery due to size and breakage risk.

Small Parts Are Available by Request

Donor cars are not just about the large parts.

Some of the most useful E30 pieces are the ones that are easy to overlook:

• Fasteners

• Clips

• Pigtails

• Switches

• Brackets

• Relays

• Trim ends

• Body plugs

• Interior screws

• Wiring sections

• Usable rust repair metal

  
  

Wire cuts, body cuts, rust repair sections, and small random parts are available by request from this car.

If you do not see the part you need, ask anyway. BMW Buyers of New England has many other BMW donor cars and a wider parts inventory. The exact part may be on another E30, another 318i, or already removed and stored.

When requesting a small part, include as much detail as possible:

• The part name, if you know it

• The year and model of your BMW

• Driver side or passenger side, if it matters

• Front or rear, if it matters

• A photo of the part or location

• Whether you need hardware, clips, or wiring with it

  
  

That extra information helps avoid confusion, especially on E30 parts that changed by year, body style, or trim.

Pickup, Shipping, and Delivery

BMW Buyers of New England supports local pickup, shipping, and regional delivery depending on the part.

Large items are local pickup in CT 06226.

This includes items such as:

• Engine

• Transmission

• Seats

• Doors

• Hood

• Trunk

• Windshield

• Large body panels

• Bumpers

• Carpet

• Wheels and tires

  
  

Large parts are bulky, expensive to pack, and easier to inspect in person. Local pickup is often the best choice for these items.

Smaller parts ship 7 days a week.

This works well for items such as:

• Trim

• Lights

• Switches

• Window motors

• ECU/CPU

• Harness sections

• Interior panels

• Tool kit pieces

• Small brackets and hardware

  
  

Shipping availability depends on size, weight, fragility, and packaging needs. Ask for a shipping quote when you submit the part request.

Delivery is available within 100 miles for an extra fee.

This can be helpful for larger items if pickup is not practical. Delivery cost depends on distance, part size, and timing.

This Alpine White E30 sedan is being fully parted, and the good pieces are available now.

The car is rusty, the engine has already been removed, and some parts may be missing if they do not appear in the video. Still, there is a strong list of useful E30 parts here, from the running M42 engine and Getrag 240 transmission to beige interior pieces, Alpine White body panels, lighting, glass, wheels, trim, and small repair items.
