It's a 325is wearing M3 clothes w/ M20 engine. Ad is tagged as Automatic, but it's a manual. Makes no mention of the body mods... Is it worth $16k? At minimum, it's an appropriately-priced crack-free dash - with a car included for free.

I think it was short wheelbase only, so 740i, 730, 728, and at least one of the diesel options, but there were at least some MT E38s outside of the US.

'Factory' 5-speed E38? Didn't know that was an option.

Goddamnit man, if this thing was auto I would have jumped on it (I’m not good at working the clutch on a manual, but most of the manual BMWs I’ve driven were 4 cylinders so maybe the lack of torque had something to do with it). This car is only 50 miles from me.

Painted chrome bumpers?

Yeah, not a good look, but totally reversible.

1987 BMW 325es E30 - $5,500


https://philadelphia.craigslist.org/...587358448.html



I've always hated the "long description".... and I'm not dead set on selling it yet, so I'll keep it short and sweet:

I'm checking on the interest level out there for my 1987 E30.

The Good:
It runs, everything is largely intact and the body is straight.
Lots of extra parts for the work I haven't done, but someone will likely want to (including new metal for the jack point repair, new front and rear windshield seals and more).
It has the desirable front valance.
Fully adjustable original sport seats.

The Bad:
The dash is cracked
The radio doesn't work (wiring needs to be sorted out)
The blower motor needs to be replaced (I have the part)

Whoever buys it will likely want to at the very least have it painted back to original (Zinnoberrot). Somebody did some questionable painting on this car.
It's a great candidate for a swap... or keep original.

could drift like crazy with the right driver.

Hit me up on email, and then we can switch to text if you want more info or pictures.

at least not compared to things like crypto (that stuff can register 10,000% gains in months during a bull market)

Most cryptos were created specifically for speculation, of course they're more speculative than cars let's compare nuclear reactors and yard sprinklers next because they're both embedded in the ground and have water flowing through them.

[ZeKahr]

It's a shame that cars are so heavily speculated on these days, everything is a speculation. Yeah I've seen the Z prices, I love classic Zs but they're just not affordable, especially as a third car. The older ones are just too expensive for me to even consider. A clean Z31 is one of the few cars I'd consider selling my E30 to make room for, I'd get an NA and swap it or a turbo and upgrade it.

Eh cars aren't that speculative, at least not compared to things like crypto (that stuff can register 10,000% gains in months during a bull market). Old cars have always been speculations, as it gets older the price is going to rise as there are less nice examples left and people start romanticizing it.

At this point you have to make a killing off crypto to be able to afford a nice version of your dream cars. Another trick if affordability is an issue is to only have one really nice car you really cherish and forget about everything else.

Agreed on all points. They're collectible/speculator cars now not driver's cars so they're worth a ton of money,

I've seen this happen to my z's over the past couple years. The enthusiasts driven out, the speculators moving in. Good thing there's a group of enthusiasts that stick around and support each other, assuming this is also the case here.
