    WTB: pristine/restored E30

    Hey,
    What I hope to find:
    E30 coupe (would also consider a cabrio or sedan or cali registered touring) in pristine condition or restored
    325is (consider 318i and 325i and 325ix as well)
    preferable colors: silver, gray, white, black (violet?, orange?)
    Manual is a must!
    Preferably in California or somewhere near.

    budget: up to 20k.

    People asking me about a budget.
    I don't post it because I don't have a fixed budget and willing to stretch it for the right car, I would consider any offers.

      Try BAT.

      That venue has clean cars.

      When you find it, bid on it.

      Done.

      Here's an M3 if that interest you (it's in Florida):

      Bid for the chance to own a 1988 BMW M3 at auction with Bring a Trailer, the home of the best vintage and classic cars online. Lot #9,668.


      You have 1 day to buy it.

      Please keep us posted on this purchase. It seems to check off everything you mention.

        Thanks, Javier! Yea, I am keeping an eye on BAT. This M3 is awesome, but probably I have to specify that I am looking for non-M cars. This M a bit out of my budget right now, unfortunately.

          I like this guy. Knows what he wants and knows he'll have to pay for it.

          I'll keep an eye out and good luck with the search.

                      It was ebay for 42.5k. Looks like it expired.

                        Its pending payment... it's on the higher end that's for sure, most definitely M3 money

                              No problem and the wire just came through so it is a sold car, it's actually way too nice to drive
