Damn. This would have been mine if it were a valid ad.

4500 would be a steal, triple the price and it would probably still be a deal

10

Anything under 15k seems like a pretty good deal for a clean e30 M3 these days.

no.

if its really that price 99% chance its a salvage title or something. the rule of 15 applies to the E30 M3, ie: either spend $15k for a clean one, or spend $10k on a beat one and put another $5k into it to fix it.

Thanks for the heads up. I am more interested in the m3. Are there major differences other than motor between the 325is and the m3?

besides the body (only thing shared is hood and windshield), gearbox, suspension, brakes, interior?

16

Hm. I wonder where I got the idea that it was supercharged from. :gotme:

CMON!

and that is silly cheap, you usually wont find them for under 10k

18

i didn’t realize that these things were so expensive. I know that they are hard as fuck to find in good shape. But I can’t see myself spending 10K on one.

19

if this car is properly sorted…
