The mystery E30 that no one knows about.

[chucko]

Found 3 on the phone.

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

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?

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

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

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

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

[nrubenstein]

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.

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

So this can be closed now? I am betting that is just hartge parts slapped on JUST like the body kit.
