Buying and e30 M3

[diegom6]

If you're not willing to pay lots of money, dont buy an e30 m3. Stuff is going to break, and usually that stuff is expenisve.

Exactly, not everyone can afford a M3 ;)

Hahah this whole threat is great, especially the the drug hole. This kid has champagne taste on a beer budget.

I am interesting in buying an E30 M3. I have seen a couple for sale... most with 100,000+ miles on them. Any major problems these cars have at or after this mile mark?

Anything else I should look for when attempting to buy one of these?

I have no problem with the high milage. This car will probably be a weekend project/toy car. However, I don't want to buy something that I'll have to sink loads of money in to keep it running.

Do you really want an m3???? Bought one a couple of years ago for 6k with a motor running on 3 cylinders, took over six months to rebuild the engine, it was the longest build I have ever done, and it cost as much for parts for the motor as it did for the car... It's fun to drive, but your always worried about some moron running into it, or some cop thinking your a ricer that needs to be pulled over.... I'm an older guy who can afford to have the car sit in the garage most of the time, but for alot less money you can have just as much fun in a 325is.. Just my two cents... Remember, it might be an m3, but it's still an e30.... and any e30 is a blast to play with...
good luck.....

If you can't tell the difference between "and" and "an," as in: "Buying and E30 M3," then no, you should not buy one.

I saw one on CL here about a week ago. It was a roller without an engine for $10k.

I suggest you don't buy an M3...for the M3s sake.

Not at all, everyone around here gets their money around November if they harvest at the end of Sept or in the middle of October.

Wait, nevermind.

hahaha, lol'd at this

If you do get an M3, make sure you get one like this for your drug problem: http://www.e30tech.com/forum/showthread.php?t=28865

I agree with the whole "don't buy an m3". You're what 17? I wouldn't bother throwing away that kind of money on an m3 especially at that age even if you have that kind of money. Plus, I also don't see any point in getting one unless if you plan on restoring it within your 2 year suspension period. (Saw your other thread). So no...I'd say just walk away from the
m3 idea for now and save up for one when your susp. period has ended.
