    '91 M Technic, Red, 5 speed

    Not mine, found it on eBay $8k with 5 bidders and 6 days to go.

    $12k and 5 days left

    Checked the VIN, it the real thing, original 5 speed car.









    From the add

    "Beautiful and very original 1991 BMW M Technic 325i with only 131k miles (odometer does work, and has worked the entire life of the car). This is a full M Tech vehicle, not just the appearance package, so it has all of the M Tech body panels along with the leather console and more.

    Being a 25 year old car, there are some dings, but the car is stunning in person and gets thumbs up everywhere it goes. The top is the original BMW top, but the power feature isn't working 100% so some manual operation is required to make it function. The fuel gauge doesn't seem to be totally accurate and the radio isn't the best, but other than that, everything works including the A/C and heat. Brakes, clutch, and transmission all work great and the engine pulls just like it was brand new. The car is an absolute joy to drive. There is a dash topper on the car to cover a few small cracks. I will work on getting photos of the dash without the cover soon. I'm also missing two of the center caps for the wheels, so only two will be included with the vehicle, and the lower front valence in the front right corner needs some minor attention.

    Better pictures on the way soon....just wanted to get it listed in case somebody wants to put it under the tree for Christmas.

    This vehicle was more expensive than the M3 and 325is when brand new, and those keen on BMWs are aware that this is a rare vehicle that will only continue to increase in value."

          That interior is beautiful, I'm not a huge fan of convertibles but this is really nice.

            Popped up on BaT this morning. Easily a $15k car, if not more.

              The bringatrailer e30 is a Ryan_ G 325i. In great shape but nothing extraordinary. I emailed them some pics of this car and the ebay link but they haven't posted it yet.

              I'm guessing it breaks $20k. Lots of people have been looking for one, and this one checks all the right boxes.

                Should be a 17k for the right buyer. I am guessing the auction will end at 14k because of the holidays. Verts generally just don't sell well during the winter.

                  Although the ad says it's very original, it's got aftermarket headlights, painted wheels, and blacked out grill.

                  This one looks to be in good shape from the pictures. Will be interesting to see where this one ends up and what the market is for full m-tech verts.

                    All easily corrected... perhaps with parts many E30 owners have already in the garage.

                    A nice car. Nice to see this in res.

                      Am I the only one who noticed the funny fitment of the bumper and front spoiler on the right hand side?

                        Not a big deal. Just noticed it has a dash cap and front seats are redone wrong though. Still a nice ride. Let's see what it fetches.

                          What's wrong with the seats ?

                            Could be a sign of improperly fixed damage, but I digress. It's still a very nice car though, I do agree there. I think it'll fetch good money.

                              Definitely a few issues. Steering wheel cover too. Using Hagerty's guide, and from only the pics in the add, I'd say it's a condition 2-3 car at best. That said, I challenge someone to show me a better one that's been for sale in the last year.

                              E30's did come stock with gold center BBS with polished rims, so it could be on the original wheels but I doubt it.
                              Drive it hard. Maintain it well.
