WTB: E30 California. Cash

[Texasnative]

The recent death of my 325i has turned me from a lurker on these boards to an active member. So first of all I would like to thank you all for the insight I have gleaned from this forum.

I am looking to buy an E30, and have cash in hand. Here is kind I am looking for.

- E30 (1988+ preferred, but if its nice willing to go older)
- 5 Speed, please no Automatics
- No verts please (unless it has a hardtop ..lol), want to switch it up since my last was a vert.
- Color and paint condition does not matter ( don't mind if i need to respray)
- Clean body free of major dents or dings please
- Clean title
- less then 200k ( flexible on this).
- No major mechanical issues.
- MUST BE ABLE TO PASS SMOG!
- No broken Odometers please, its ok if it has broken in the past and was repaired relatively quickly
- Maintenance documentation a BIG PLUS!
- decent interior please, cracked dashes are fine, destroyed seats..non working windows etc. are not.
- Would prefer to stay away from eta's, unless it is beyond nice.

I am located in Norcal, but I am more then willing to travel anywhere in the state for a nice E30.

My budget is 5-6.5k cash, possibly able to go a little higher.

Thanks for your time guys, lets see some BMW's!

Beautiful car Blauplow, but a little out of my price range, i am jealous though.

Mr2peak, North Bay! What part of Marin do you hail from?

Beautiful car Herb, it is interesting. those miles make me nervous, but a good deal nonetheless.
