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

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?

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.
