The fuel system needs a check upThere are small chips in the paint and specs of rust here and there. See video below I don’t know rare old BMW values but that seems like it’s pretty far on the crack pipe side of the scale. ---

vintage BMW’s are in a weird space right now. if you’re into BMW’s then you know that the prices of them are about to chase the vintage Porsches… but not a ton of people are really into these cars at the moment. there is a local guy from SON that works on a private car collection north of the GTA that restored a 2002 Tii for a guy and it looks incredble… our discussion was that it is a north of $150k car once restored. clean E30 coupes like what Walker had are a steal at $10k right now. I scooped a lightly hit first gen M5 for $6k cdn for a friend and he took it back to Germany where it is a $50k car stock. We’re going to snag another field car M5 soon too. E21’s are a steal and any first gen M6 is $30k+ in Canada right now. I have been casually looking at V10 M5 and M6’s in manual trans. they are getting harder and harder to find. - - - Updated - - - [ATTACH]37282[/ATTACH] not sure if this pic will attach this way… this is the 2002 i was mentioning. ---

I keep seeing driver quality late 50’s, early 60’s c10’s for sub 10k w/v8 and 4 on the floor. I also really want a Toyota Chinook to restore… I also regret not bucking up for @XwalkerX 's e30. I think about it often. ---

right now is the time to buy a mint E36 M3. all signs show that good ones will be going up in value probably about 5 years from now. The first E36 M3 to sell over 100k has already happened, but that was an LTW in amazing shape with low miles. ---

I’ve spent well over 100k on motorcycle related stuff in the past 5 years or so. That said the only car I really want to buy is this, a C-10 Skyline. But they’re well over 50 grand just for a replica GT-R, and coming up on a quarter mil for a real example. ![http://st.motortrend.com/uploads/sites/5/2014/04/1971-Nissan-Skyline-2000-GT-R-front-three-quarter-02.jpg](http://st.motortrend.com/uploads/sites/5/2014/04/1971-Nissan-Skyline-2000-GT-R-front-three-quarter-02.jpg) ---

if that doesn’t work out, you could always swap a skyline motor into an E30 ---

The first E36 M3 to sell over 100k has already happened, but that was an LTW in amazing shape with low miles. i’m inclined to agree with this and i would probably scoop one. i’ve kind of honed my ‘desire’ down to something analog, manual and fairly slow as something i can teach my kids to drive on but something that will go up in value and be sorta cool for a while. > [@theblue](#): > > if that doesn’t work out, you could always swap a skyline motor into an E30 lol ---

Here’s an M3/4/5, perfect analog family car. I agree the E36’s will probably spike up in the near future. Wish I hung onto mine.

But they’re well over 50 grand just for a replica GT-R, and coming up on a quarter mil for a real example. One absolutely beautiful car and one I’d love to see roaming the streets around here. I’d love to get my hands on a 70s white Fairlady 240z. So much love for those but I don’t see it ever happening with my mind made up on purchasing my fathers 03 S2000. ---
