$45,000 is it worth it?

[Emre]

An E30 M3 Cabrio is a pretty pointless car. The only value they have is the fact that they're rare/unusual, so there's some collector appeal.

That's why this car makes no sense. It's a replica, thefore has ZERO collector value. Trying to sell it for MORE money than a real E30 M3 Cabrio is a total joke. It doesn't even have an S14 under the hood!

Retro Mod m3 Clone...

There...

This car is extremely well done. We had the opportunity to supply the suspension, and Ryan G did all of the motor and running gear mods.

But 45K?...just no.

[Nick_S]

Nice car and really well done...but I think $45k is a stretch. Hell even $25k might be on the high side.

[sweet6e30]

ummm sorry its worth 45,000$ only if there is 30,000$ cash in the trunk and a full tank of gas that comes with it.

i think you guys are all cheap ass haters!:D that is a nice well done car! people pay well over 100k for american iron restomods all the time. for all the work that went into this car, the price is very reasonable by this standard. although it is not an "according to hoyle" original m3 vert, it is actually better than one.

why is an m3 cabrio a pointless joke? lots of people including myself, love the lines of e30 m3's and also cabrios as well. ever drove a well performing convertible on the winding scenic mountain roads of northern california? i can assure you there is NOTHING like that feeling(except maybe a threesome with two hot supermodels).

you and others are completely contradicting yourselves with the s14 comments. why in the world would you want a 4 banger in this car anyway? it wouldn't make it more authentic or less "poser" as some say. the s50 is way better for power, torque and driving fun. i think putting an s14 in that car would be stupid. what if it came with an s54? would that add legitimacy in you eyes?

in the end, is it worth 45k? well, perhaps not to me but i believe the car truly has the value for what it is.

Things that need attention:

<!--[if !supportLists]-->- <!--[endif]-->Suspension needs lubrication as you can hear it squeak and crack at lower speeds

<!--[if !supportLists]-->- <!--[endif]-->Instrument panel backlight comes and goes. It sometimes needs couple of tap to make it illuminate

<!--[if !supportLists]-->- <!--[endif]-->There is a rattle in the right door

<!--[if !supportLists]-->- <!--[endif]-->The top is original BMW top and in very good condition except for the rear windows that needs to be replaced. The window is zippered into the top so it is not that hard to replace it.

who knows what else needs to be replaced. if the owner doesnt want to do the above and very relatively simple maintenance compared to the conversion process and try to sell it for $45k. Then who knows what else the owner didnt feel like doing on other maintenance.

very simply, its not worth that price tag.

These minor deficiencies raise some alarm bells for me also. The car may well be worth $45k the way she sits and I have no doubt that it was executed to an above average standard. My guess is the buyer who chooses to pay for this resto mod will enjoy the hell out of it and loose their shirt while doing so.

i have high doubt that this guy even put 45k into that car to begin with...

[T Verdier]

it was an 89 but he used 87 and below tails

M3 badge on a car that ain't an M3 = fail

yeah but to his credit it does have an s50 and it is a REPLICA

That car is stunning. Not one of you could end up with a car like that if you had $50K in cash to do it.

As above, if I had the coin, that ad would be gone, shitty color and all.

I could learn to love anal sex if I had that car.

; )

[brainspo0n]

no matter how much you like this car you cannot justify that price

[Asrial Dune]

It's a nice looking car, but I wouldn't pay $45k for it.

[tttoon]

US S50? lolno

[funcrew]

Does this mean that my clean but salvage '92 S52 5-lug cabrio is worth a third of that at $15K? If somebody offered me 10, I'd sell it on the spot and call a cab to get home. And mine lacks some of the little "undone" items the M3 guy mentions.

cabrios didn't switch to big taillights at the same time as the rest of the e30s did.

Fuck! Whoops I didn't even think about the fact that it was a cobby lol I'm so used to coupe m3 reps with big tails.

[hrach1]

Cabrio M3s never had the newer larger tail lights
