WTB: Mint '89 325is - cash in hand

[BeirBrennerE30]

Everytime I read one of these posts, I always think of Jordan's build. They get up there in price, but man is that dude meticulously about everything being new or restored.
Maybe give that guy a call for near mint condition.

I plan on doing any restoration necessary myself, just looking for a good starting point. But I agree that he does a good job

Thank you to those that PM'ed me with leads

Mint condition is when a new car dealership pulls the plastic of a car with zero miles on it. Not going to find that.

I might have something that'd be worth your time. Completely restored 91 325i sport Calypso car. Very, very nice example.

Mind linking for the uninitiated?

A great example!!!

Many others have good restoration threads, check project and members ride sections.

Way to twist the OPs words there, noob.

^great contribution...

There are plenty of 'mint' e30s with miles on them. Mint does not imply a brand new car, and I think it's safe to say that OP isn't seeking a brand new 29 year old car.

Thank you. Yes while I do not expect a brand new e30 to be available, thought if one was that would be great! I am looking for as close to show room condition as possible for a 30 year old car. This isn't my first e30 so I know what to expect and know this isnt an easy ask.

Also thank you to everyone that PM'd me.

I believe 89 had all of the goodies, no airbag steering wheel, map light mirror, premium speakers, etc.

This is the answer. Plastic bumpers and the full face lift but still no airbags.
