    Buying $1k E30

    i dont care the year, color, engine or anything like that. I just want an e30 that has been beat to shit aslong as it still runs. Im looking to spend 1k and not much more. I know this seems like a ridiculous request but im sure someone out there has an e30 that they could part with for my asking price. Close to North carolina would be nice too.

        no affiliation.

        your best bet is probably to search Craigslist or searchtempest, using terms like BMW, 318, or 325. if you search for an "e30" you are likely to get someone who to some degree or another cares about there car, you need to find someone who doesn't.
        good luck.

              Hey Joshua, even though my 325i might not be possible now, I have that 325 I sent pictures to you. I will take a $1000 would you consider shipping? It is a solid car just needs some tlc and tuneup. you have my email so lets figure something out?

                  why would you want a 1k e30 that you will for sure have to dump 4k into?
                  are you looking for a parts car?

                    Hopefully this is for Chump Car or LeMons, lol.

                    Good luck with the search; maybe get in touch with Bobby Thrash at Strictly German (706.654.9103) to see if he has any mostly complete parts car for that price.

                      Have you gotten any advice on this from anyone? Buying a1k e30 is fine as long as you realize it'll probably need 4k to be a decent car. If you expand up to around 2k your chances of finding a running car in okay shape that will hopefully be reliable increase, but that's still a small budget. I'm only saying this because you mention you're a broke teen, and you may unfortunately end up losing all your savings with not much to show for it.

                      The first car I ever rode in was an e30

                        Just find a rolling shell & swap a motor into it. That should be cheap, and you'll be on your way.

                          I want a 1k e30 that I can thrash around in for a year or two and learn about and once I buy another e30 in a year or so(I know I will be coming across a bit of money in a year) ill have a parts car. I'm building up the max with each day but I can still only spend about 1500 right now

                            I appreciate it man but I need a car soon and it's all I have, and If I'm gonna drive a piece I'd rather it be an e30 haha.
