    I often wonder what will happen to my e30 when I die. I will only part with it if its been totaled. Congrats for being in the black. I'm balls deep in the red (with plans to go deeper), but I've learned it doesn't matter. I'm probably somewhere near $17k spent on car that might not be worth 10 on its best day in under a year of ownership. Even if I had 100k to blow on a car I can't think of 1 I'd take over an e30. Dead serious. The good thing is one day its value will equal what I've spent on it.

    Almost gave up my iX about 2 years ago as the list of repairs was daunting. In that time I've completely redid the suspension, rebuilt the engine and transmission and cleaned up the bay. Also, new tires, drive line components, exhaust, cluster, brake components, clutch, ssk, etc, etc. Now, I would never consider selling it.

    I sold my vert 4 years ago and for the last 4 years I've wished I didn't sell it and you'll do the same. Now if I had two, I don't think I'd have a problem selling one of them.

    I've had a honda, 2 big trucks, and a ford fusion (company car) and NOTHING is as fun as the e30. If you sell you'll quickly find out that you still spend the same amount of money...on dumb shit now, and when you get back into an e30 you have to start ALL over again.

    The longer you have it the harder it is to get rid of, and the more you work on it the harder it is to get rid of. I sold my early 318i without a second thought since it was bought as a temporary beater anyway. I don't see myself getting rid of the 318is that I put a new engine in anytime soon though.

    Well then let me ask you, what is a little over realistic price?
    My car is mechanically perfect. My entire suspension system is less than 1 year old. At the slightest tick of something going wrong, it and everything attached to it gets replaced.



    But its rusty. So its an E30 thats been meticulously maintained mechanically, but rusty. With a lot of super rare parts. Its a fun workhorse, not your typical r3vmember clean slammed overpriced car.

    I sold my e30 about a year and a half ago, and I've regretted selling it ever since then. It wasn't even a week after I sold it that I was missing it. The next e30 is staying for life.

    Trying to sell mine right meow actually; I don't have trouble parting with it because it's my first one; made a lot of good and bad decisions (almost all good :-P), and now I'm just trying to start with a clean slate.

    My next e30 however.. I'd be hard pressed to sell what I hope will be an 88/89 Lachsilber 325is

    [QUOTE=TurboJake;3290233]You could easily get my E30 from me. But you'll overpay.

    And I'll just go buy another.

    I'm with you on that one. Everything is for sale. You will just pay dearly for it haha. I love my E30 though and I doubt I would sell it

    I would keep them...what newer car could you possibly get that is a character building as an E30? Plus, if you just stick it out and get the E30s DONE, wouldn't you rather be rolling around in one of them? What are you considering getting, anyway?

    (It should be noted, I still drive the first one I bought as a DD)

    I'd sell my ix without complaint, but my 318i you'd have troubles getting.
    I didnt have too hard of a time selling my MT2 cabrio but I do miss it from time to time.

    TBH, I never want to make a plan to sell my e30. Sometimes i feel like i want to sell it, but when i think hard enough in the decision, I would end up miss her greatly. I love the problems it has. It gives character and most of all....SOMETHING TO DO! :)
    I cant get totally out of the game so im covered there. :D No matter what or if I get something else, I will always tinker with it.

    I have said "will definitely be around for a while." before too but here I am at this crossroads again.

    I've considered it and for the right number I would; but I've spent way too much money on it to ever feel good about selling it for the current going rate.
