Impressively crap, also, can't figure out if those are some GM seat or from a Volvo.

Has flagging ever actually worked? I've been flagging dealership spam and scams as long as I've been on craigslist and I've never come back the next day to find it removed.

Only when others flag your posts.

i think multiple people have to flag before the ad actually goes away. don't auto ads cost like 5 bucks each now? i think that would cut down on a lot of them.


that e with the burned quarter panel is a dumpster fire, but i think it is well worth 1500 bucks.

Some Aussie adds have been getting into the crack pipe range lately - https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/toorak/cars-vans-utes/1989-bmw-e30-318i-series-2-manual-with-m40b18-sohc-1-8l-engine-/1224791889

Nice car, but $21k for a bottom of the range stripper spec with an M40?! There's also an S54 swapped car someone is trying to get $52k for - to put it into perspective you can pick up an e46 M3 manual for $25 - $35k or an e39 M5 manual for similar money. An e92 M3 manual with around 60,000 miles for $40k.

It appears to be a slicktop, that does a lot for value. With no knowledge of the Aussie car market I don't know what E30 prices have looked like over the past few years, but $21,000 AUD is $14,208 USD and I could see an equivalent car going for more than that on Bring a Trailer easily. With an M42 swap it would be the perfect 4cyl E30.

1994 Bmw 325is mtech 1/150 made - $4999

I've never heard of one of this car before. Basically a slower E36 M3 with cooler trim.

With an M10 swap it would be the perfect 4cyl E30.

Fixed.

I love this car and there is a lot more to it than most would care to read, so if you’re genuinely interested, please feel free to contact me for more information or to arrange a viewing. I can provide a list of modifications and upgrades to the purchaser to keep with the car for documentation. All documentation for the car and engine will be included with the sale.

Looking for $20,000, which is extremely reasonable for an E30 in this condition and in this unique specification. No test drives, but I'm happy to take you for a ride. Please, no time wasters. Low ballers will be ignored.

Looks like he just bumped his build thread in the Project Car Forum, but didn't see he listed it for sale until I watched the video. Looks like a really cool car.

The world needs more exceptionally slow cars. Basically, if a stock diesel Vanagon can outpace you to 60 you're good to go.

You don’t know terror until you’ve merged onto an 80mph interstate in a NA diesel W123 wagon.

Pshaw. Try a sharp left hand uphill cloverleaf onramp in a loaded RV converted MCI bus with Detroit Diesel with a leaky supercharger (which it needs to actually draw air), a very balky 4 speed, iffy air brakes and towing a track car.

Living dangerously is living.

Oh wow... Jeremy Clarkson would love this.
