what's the rarest E30 know to exist?

[ohthejosh]

^a rare e30 member post. posted twice in this thread. OP you know you created a great discussion thread when that happens lol.

would it be safe to say to find an e30 with less than 1000 miles on it is rare? :)

Does anyone know how many John Player Special cars were made?

zero from the factory, JPS was fading out by the time the e30 came out which at that point was a dealership special from what I've read. JPS did some tuning to the e24 and e21 though.

As far as factory cars, in the most literal sense of the word, the e30 M3 non-wide bodied pick up truck is pretty rare being the only "factory built" one of its kind.



Of normal production cars, not including hartge or alpina, according to M registry it is the Ravaglia edition M3 with just 25 built. Also, Evo II is more rare than Sport evo, so is the Evo I for that matter.

Z1s are actually not that uncommon where I live here in Germany. I have done atleast 5 different Z1 timing belts for customers in the area, and the owner of the dealership I work at has 2- 1 red, 1 black. I also worked on a black ITALIA Z1 that did not have a single mile on it!!! had to replace the fuel pump and timing belt to fire it up for the first time since 91. It sat in a dealership in italy above the showroom since new.

There are a few more in the area too.

I would say M3 vert is pretty rare. EVO III vert is a myth.

^ that pickup doesn't even have a VIN I bet. you can't count that- it's just a hacked up vert.

That's the joke. Its a factory car, built at the factory, used by the factory. I didn't say it was a production car.

E30 EVO M3 verts, I think they only made a hand full of factory specials....

That is a rare one too, and totally factory.

This right here.

From the info I have read, they only made 1 as a special order to somebody important/ famous at the time.
