may be selling ix touring
Hey all, i'm new to the community. I've recently found myself considering letting my ix wagon go in order to purchase a 2wd of the same thing. Just looking for some asking price advise, what they are generally still worth these days. It's diamond swartz, 5speed, no A/C, no cruise, manual sunroof and windows, 246,000 km, imported from germany about 5 years ago, unfortunately winter driven and could use some engine work. A power plant swap would probably be the most logical. She still runs, and is by no means in rough shape, but i'm suspecting the typical head gasket stuff. It's also got one dented front fender.

post up some pictures, and we could help you some more. What do you mean by typical head gasket stuff?

 The E30 is what all actual driving enthusiasts are after. It's an unpretentious machine, quietly capable of spectacular feats of handling. It's light, simple design is rugged enough to run against $400k rally cars, but on the street it' communicative chassis delights even the most disinterested driver. It really is one of the world's ultimate driving machines

Maybe 'typical' was the wrong word. I have heard, and been told, that the m20 motors are generally bullet proof, maintained properly, but if something does happen, it's usually the head gasket. I'll try to get some pics.

Ummmm... this might be relevant to my interests.
E30 gurus- how feasible is it to do an S50 swap into an E30 ix? Can I just ditch the awd system, or is there more to it then that? The thought of an E30 M wagen kinda makes me happy in my pants.

Funny you should say that, that's been my main objective for a bit now but money is scarce. Imagine an awd M wagon! Apparently the awd versions of E30's carry with them a lot of limitations. Still a work in progress though.

But yes, an AWD M Wagen would be ridiculous. I want one.
