WTB e30 M3 roller

[Gear_Head13]

Hey guys I'm looking for a roller, decent body condition (paint doesn't matter) is preferred over complete interior. I'm located in the PNW & would like a semi local deal to avoid getting scammed. Please PM me with pix & info, but feel free to post links & pix.

There is a dedicated thread with a list of people looking for e30 M3 rollers...

Kidding - good luck with your hunt!

Haha thanks PeteD, I know everyone & their mothers are looking for a roller. I've got time to kill while I build my turbo motor.

David Lumbra at 2002 Restorations had one last year. I passed on it because it was more stripped than he told me over the phone. Definitely saveable but not really destined to be a street car.

The one that's white & red? I remember that one too, thought there was a Canadian buy involved with it just waiting on shipping stuff. I'll poke him next week to see, thanks Austin.

[e30austin]

Yeah, he pulled that bullshit with me too, trying to get me to pay more. That was the other reason I didn't want it. I was told $1500 over the phone, then it was $2k because a Canadian was on his way to pick it up...yeah, no.

keep dreaming

Austin, I can't remember but didn't that one have body damage? Hit on the driver side B pilar? Ideally I'd like a straight body since my body work ability is pretty bad haha! Just for sake of conversation what's the average price on shell these days? $1500-2k for just a shell & nothing more to $3500+ for one with decentish paint, some interior & a dash?

^LOL. Beat rollers are going for like $6,000 now.

Mine was 6200 in 09 so I will say prices have jumped drastically. Buy the most complete example you can afford.

10 years ago it was not a problem to find descent running M3 for $10k. Price has gone up sense then because too many people were buying them, cutting them up for racing, engine swaps, wrecking them, so not many out there now.

[M-technik-3]

Plenty of them out there. Just got to search.

[Gear_Head13]

Haha shit I was a little off with my pricing. Thanks for the info guys.

[Gear_Head13]

M-technik-3, your m3 looks fairly together, did that have a drivetrain? I really just need the shell.

[Farbin Kaiber]

By the ride height, I'm gonna guess his was a roller without powertrain.
