WTB: 1992 325i e30 M-Technic Convertible

[ruppertm]

Yo guys, is this the same guy "bimmerdtm" that has been ragging the forums for the last year about a stock, low mileage Mtech. Yet every car he is presented is not worth his time or money. Could this be him? IJS??????

no i am not

[ruppertm]

Glad it's only your opinion and not an actual hard thing to fix.

I'll just throw this out there as someone who has shopped for this exact car. If your budget is $8k and clean cars look "weird" and the idea of a dash swap is more than you can manage, this is not a car for you. Trust me on that.

i rather fix and engine or transmission and make my hands dirty than fixing a dashboard. also, i bought an mtech 92 vert last year. for 5k. and my buddy wanted to have it so badly i sold it to him.so dont tell me 8k is not enough. 8k is not enough if its a true mtechnic, with the right seats and steering wheel, but not for the mtech2 kit.

[ruppertm]

Just decided. It's either white, or it's likely not gonna be the car for you. Less than 200 92s were black. The rest are white.

91s came in silver, red, Macau blue but they are true mtechnics, not appearance packages and your $8k won't get you much.


If it does not absolutely kill you, I'd suggest doing even the most basic internet research, perhaps a simple google search, so that you know even a little big about what you're asking for and whether it even exists. V

are you bored?get a life dude. didnt say i wont a true m-technic anywhere. but i will change my post, so you feel better.

And for what it's worth, Henna30 sold his Brilliantrot true MT convertible (before being totalled) to Shmev for somewhere in the $8-9k range last summer. Car was in great, well-maintained, operating condition with only minor cosmetic issues.

There is an MT2 for sale at Windy City Motorsports here in Chicago for $7,900. Has been for sale for a month with no takers. It's very clean and was previously owned by an R3V member. Only reason I haven't bought it is because the seller is unwilling to budge on price to an acceptable level (for me) for the time being.

Ruppertm, your budget is fine... if you can find one that meets your other buying criteria. Good luck with your search! And yes, those other guys are truly truly bored.

i contacted windy last week. sale was pending. today i called and it was sold

[DMSBimmer]

I'd love to know the sale price. Hopefully it went to a good home. Either way, you can get a reasonable estimate of fair value for a very clean MT2 with a dealer selling one for at most $7,900. Private party sale around $5k-$6.5k?

I sold mine for $10k in July, and I think I gave it away.

[DMSBimmer]

Yours was a rarer Canadian-spec Diamondschwarz MT2, correct?

[reelizmpro]

I think Eric Berger sold his white M tech for around 10 as well. I remember when these cars were floating around for $2000 and few people knew their significance. Since nice E30's are commanding premiums, it makes sense these would inflate as well. so a 5k car could easily be 6-7, perhaps more now

[DMSBimmer]

Would make sense.... especially if sold within the circles of people who appreciate their rarity. I hate seeing special cars like that at Joe Schmoe dealerships- destined to end up with someone who is none the wiser.

[reelizmpro]

But that's when you could have got them cheap! haha. If they get a bunch of calls on a car they are going to wise up. A few guys I know found one out in the desert on a dirt lot with a "for sale" sign on it. Needless to say, they got it cheap. Patience and luck have a lot to do with it.

[Thizzelle]

man. i have those wheels. et 25 right? i had i3 springs on mine. and this was pretty much the ride height. every little bump, every little turn. the wheels were slamming into the fenders.

how do you keep from fucking the hell out of your tires?

the top of the fender? All I did was roll the fender. I need to roll it out a little more cuz at full lock it rubs a bit

Says the troll who has never bought one.

Rupper: the guy who wants to spend even less than you says your budget is fine.

Cool story bro. Good for your buddy.

You want to get dirty fixing an engine or tranny but can't manage a dash swap? Okkkkk

So if that car had a bad motor but a good dash you'd buy it?

[DMSBimmer]

Wait a sec... who's the troll again?
