e30 vert

[MikeM]

I would like to know everyone's input on this car. Is the price fair? it looks as if there is some sort of tear in the top. I am looking to buy an e30.

does the 318ic come with the m42?

Yup its M42 but at 4995 i think it should come with the wheels

[MikeM]

maybe, but don't those wheels look big? aren't e30's supposed to run 15" or 16" for lighter weight and better performance?

[Wishno87]

17" is the biggest you should put on a non-///M e30 but i just cant imagine spending 5k on a 318 in "fair condition" with 135k miles and bottle caps. I would say 4k without the wheels at the most.

[MikeM]

thats exactly what i was thinking...that would also allow me to choose my own wheels. the m42 135k miles part is enticing though.

[Wishno87]

If thats the car than NVM 5k for sure. It was at the picnic last year and me and corvallisbmw were drooling all over it.

[MikeM]

with or without the wheels?

I dont know, if thats the same car i would spring for the whole deal

[MikeM]

ahhhh, i don't know if i have $6k to blow though. hmmmm....i emailed him. we'll see

[Wishno87]

Ya in all honesty 6k is a little steep though even if it is as clean as the one i pictured. Let me know what he said and maybe even email him that pic to see if its the same car

[MikeM]

sounds good. i'm thinking i will hear from him tomorrow. then i will ask him about the picture you posted and I'll let you know what he says. its a cool car, im just a little unsure about the price. thanks

if those are real BBS LM's, those run at like $2500 for a set.

also, bigger wheels are HEAVIER than smaller wheels.

[punnzzells]

you could buy my vert for a bit more.... :o)

What year did the 318 convertibles start using the M42?
