The mystery E30 that no one knows about.

If you can speak/translate German, these links may help with your Hartge research.

Wow. That thing is far worse than I'd imagined. Worst color, mediocre bodywork (being generous here), poor condition, no maintenance done to it...

Sorry to say, but the value on this thing is not good at all right now. As is, the $1,500 number is about right. You're going to have to spend money and put some time and effort into it to see much more than that.

Anyone else notice that the intake boot has been customized with silicone cocking for max performance?

[series88]

Is it just me or does the fog light look like it's from an e36? Right side put on the left and vice versa

[Insomniac912]

It's no mystery, that is one ugly car.

If you look at the picture the guy put up, you can see it has a finned/ribbed valve cover on it.

Found 3 on the phone.

This link from the M Registry shows what a real E30 M3 Cab should look like:

http://www.bmwmregistry.com/detail.php?id=10335

Real M3 convertibles have a VIN with WBSBB01 or WBSBB05. Real M3 convertibles have shadowline trim and 5 lug wheels. Real M3 convertibles were not sold at a dealership in the US, etc.

I believe it's clear that your car is not an M3 convertible. Your VIN tells you what it is. It did NOT come from the factory the way it looks now.
Not a chance. If you were told that you were lied to.

It "may" have a Hartge engine but that may be difficult to verify without opening it up. Does the valve cover look like the one in the photo below?

[Isostar13]

In for more pics of square headlights, pls.

[JasonC]

I'm seeing a hartge strut bar, valve cover and maybe exhaust. So who knows what maybe done to the engine. As for the body, its just been clapped out.

I just puked a little after seeing the "m3" photos that were posted...

[Farbin Kaiber]

Is it just me or do the foglight holes look rounded in the bottom inner corner? The bulge of the flare also looks aftermarket.

[Kershaw]

those headlights are racing dynamics. not zender. i have a set in good condition, non-cracked lenses, if you're interested in purchasing them.

you mentioned you did all the fluids, that's good. but you need to do the timing belt asap as its' 20 years old and will be very prone to snapping. especially if it has a 2.8l stroker, which i doubt. but even if it's just a 2.5l, it has really low mileage and you'd want to keep the original head.

the trunk is crazy. lol.
