    US here = 2 people... ok

    Take your CA E30 Eliteness elsewhere lol

    But your observations have been noted and changes have been made to OP.

    Never understood the "it's only an ETA"

    I own both Eta and I. Much prefer the Eta for daily and autox. the I's powerband (tq) is too low for both. best suited for track anyway and illegal speed racing on the highway.

    What matters with E30's is the overall condition. Not so much motorwise or trim wise when Swap motors can be had for under 1k. or hundreds for a 885 head I... if you must

    Up to 60mph there is a negligible speed difference between a strong chipped ETA vs a chipped I...

      honestly, I was thinking about 3500-4000 max. I bought my 325e with only 110k miles for $2500. Someone got raped for paying $8000 for an eta lol

        I understand that. But like I said this car needs to be looked at in person to recognize the value in it.

        I won't be like the next guy and state " cleanest E30 I've ever seen " (it's not--but it is one of them) I instead welcome you to come see it and decide for yourself.

        I should add this car doesn't need anything or any work. Besides wheel bearings, and shifter bushings. Most e30's for 2500-3500 need the following clean or otherwise

        -Alignment,
        -Susp bushings
        -rear subframe bushings
        -shocks
        -find random jerry rigged fixes everywhere and fix
        -questionable work and things done to them

        That is worth $$$ most people over look. BUt if you want to be bothered doing that that's fine. Some people rather not.

        and that's where this car comes in

          I don't understand your logic about the 325i only being negligibly faster than the eta. Good luck with your sale, and good luck with your logic

              Chipped ETA and up to 60.

              Thanks and good luck with conveniently twisting what was said to suit your case...

                It's just one of those days. I've had it with bullshit today. Nothing personal again.

                Just venting but you can call poop911.com to take your shit because I'm not taking any of it lol

                  by your logic, how much do you think my '87 325e will sell for with my Gotti J55b's?



                  do I gets 10k?

                    If this sells for more than $4k, I have a new business plan.

                      I don't know I'd have to see it. Plus you can keep the wheels not a fan ;)

                          No sir,

                          I'm more of a RPF1, or any lightweight wheel fan. Looks great but wouldn't want on one of my own cars.

                                This is a 3k car with the suspension and k1's. I have about 10k in my 87 eta and I am LUCKY to get 4k out of it. The last 1k I have spent I will not see back, so realistically I am getting 3k... I highly doubt your car is better sorted than mine.
