1987 BMW e30 325i
160xxx miles
5 speed
everything works, AC cold, Heat, wipers lights ect
red leather, in decent shape
bluetooth speakers

NO FRAME RUST
this car is super clean for its age. There are some beat up jack points, and a little surface rust underneath but nothing is rotted.

I bought this car a few years ago and it has been a blast every time i drive it, reason for selling is we are moving soon and can not take all the toys with us.


Engine: M30B34 with around 100,xxx miles on the engine

Trans: Getrag 5 speed, no issues, shifts smooth, clutch is in great shape

Suspension: Brand new Bilstien Sport shocks all around, shock mounts, H&R Springs (if you are familiar with these brands you know i spent over $1000 on parts alone) and its so worth it! the car sits so nice, its super planted in corners, like glue. no limited slip diff in this car, as it is currently a Sunday cruiser not a track whip.
Wheel bearings replaced all around in the last 100 miles

It is leaking oil, yes its a 33 year old bmw, they can be temperamental at times. I believe it is the gasket for the oil filter housing, I just have not had time to get to this.

I have a ton of parts that i will throw in for the asking price.

might need a new park break to pass(depending on who inspects)

i could make more parting this out, but I love this car and it needs to be driven. Clean NYS title in hand

It's probably a bubble, honestly. The appreciation was much sharper than it was with muscle cars and such and E30 M3s are just not that rare. Economic effects of covid might even pop it prematurely, some collectors and flippers will lose a lot of money on them.

I don’t see the E30 M3 price bubble popping anytime soon unless 3D printing technology can make much more affordable replicas possible. The COVID recession might put a damper on the values temporarily, but once the economy bounces back (and it always does), the prices for these cars will continue to moderately rise over the next decade. They will not rise as explosively as they did in the 2010s, back when 80s Euro touring car nostalgia kicked into high gear (pun intended). Eventually, they’ll reach a point of stagnation as people slowly get off the E30 M3 hype train and find another aging car to pedestalize (maybe the E46 M3?)

Pretty sure that touring has been listed for quite some time, which tells me that it's either rusted or trashed, or both. What a shame.

[Aleman]

Another I know what I have listing. I just could not bring myself to buy a RHD car for US roads. Is this worth $7,000? Shoulda imported a LHD 325i and kept it Laguna Green.

1993 BMW e30 touring wagon - $7000


Looking to sell my legally imported Right hand drive e30 touring wagon. It is a 316i, which were never released in the united states.

The car currently has about 195k on it and runs and drives beautifully. The car is mostly stock other than the steering wheel and a few speakers, and has had a quick re-spray repainted recently from the Laga. green to color match the replaced fenders.
It does have some rust on the rockers and the pinch welds are pretty worn but nothing is structurally wrong with it.
Other than that everything works in the car including radio, a/c, heat and front power windows/sunroof.

I am looking for cash offers mainly; however the only real trade I would be interested in is a supermoto+cash on your end.

Please text me with any questions/offers as I cannot always answer the phone. Email is also fine but you will get a much quicker response texting me.

The price is extreamly low for the vehicle I will not take a penny less no matter what excuse you have about condition; that is why I am asking 7000 not 15,000.

I wonder why the bullet resistant windshield was replaced and when? When is more important, because it's awful that in less than 20 years the windshield delaminates to the point that it is not safe to drive at night.

They delaminate much earlier than 20 years.

I have a 2001 740i with the delaminating glass problems. BMW has been giving me 2 year warranties on these glass pieces for the last 4 years. the last time i had encinitas BMW replace the glass it started delaminating in THREE DAYS after it was installed.

So Far i have had TWLEVE (12) replacement pieces in the car and BMW keeps replacing them under warranty. The rear passenger window has had 7 of the 12 pieces of glass replaced. Do the math at $1400 each.

The rear window looks delaminated. Most likely, the front armored windshield has been replaced due to delamination too.
He says a new armored windshield costs $15,000.

looks like the car is all there and in really good shape. as long as there isn't a hole through the side of the engine block, i would say its not too bad of a deal.

It still blows my mind how that would have been a $10k car, maybe less, like 10 years ago.

Interior is in good shape with a crack free dash, all vin tags are in place.

Mechanically it’s very solid, new water pump, new timing belt, full tune up, complete engine reseal, new center support bearing and guibo,

hard top that’s worth at least 2k by it self

The car has 168k miles

It’s a clear title, one of the nicer E30’s on the market
I still have the original Purchase contract and window sticker

Quick release steering wheel and stancecrap are such odd bedfellows. Stance kids love to ruin any semblance of performance the car has by compromising traction and handling for a trite aesthetic, but they paradoxically also love racing mods like a quick release wheel and racing seats, not to mention the diffuser on this thing. At least the owner did this to a 328i instead of something more desirable.

[Motheye99]

Is this even real.

NO LOWBALLERS, NOT DESPERATE OR IN HURRY TO SELL, TESTING WATER. Reason I’m even thinking of selling it is I might want to get back into riding dirt bikes and getting a truck. The car gets a ton of attention every where it goes. Everything works, don’t really have any cons about the car other than the wrap is like 3 years old. I got the roof rewrapped black in May and also the tint. Also just bought a NRG hub and quick release($300) with a Status racing carbon fiber steering wheel ($400) not installed yet. All the other mods are included in the pictures, please read them all. The car only has 86k miles, low miles and service records done by bmw dealership. Thanks for looking.

[roguetoaster]

These look like bots, same join date last month and both have 3 posts today.

There's one more that's the same too, and the mods know, but I suppose they haven't violated the TOS yet.
