Time Capsule E30 Convertible - Only 227 Miles!

[SmokeE30]

Help a new guy out here: How is this a 1993 model?

Verts ran production until 01/93 while BMW was still making the tooling to build e36 verts and selling off the last of their e30 stuff

325i tourings and 318i convertibles were produced until 04/1993.

Does that mean that you could have bought this car in the US in 1993?

How do we know the odometer gears didn't just break a 227?

[E30nub1]

legit ^ point.. they are known for breaking down a bit..:shifty

You can always buy less than 100k well-conditioned E30 vert for about 5k...saving yourself 40k...more than enough to buy a BMW 128.

That. Or something like that. $45k:

This gorgeous 325i convertible is in mint condition impeccably restored with all original or BMW genuine parts

Restored and had an odometer reset to zero or this has sat in a dealer back shop for better part of 20 years.

Does that mean that you could have bought this car in the US in 1993?

Yes because the E36 vert was not ready for US market at the time. My Ex-wife's vert was a 93 model made in 10/92.

Seller has been buying numerous pieces for convertibles over the past few months, and has sold no cars on Ebay.

I dont recall ever seeing that type of radio. And even "new", very little paint on curcuit breaker for windows? Washer fluid cap is broken and a different color. Yeah, prolly restored but still a excellent reference car.

Why is the gauge cluster trim piece not straight? It does not line up correctly on the bottom.

[Thizzelle]

sometimes that happens

[M-technik-3]

I've never seen that radio either, plus the tabs look like they has been scratched/pried.

Does look exceptionally well in small shots would like to see larger ones.

[BergerNJ]

sometimes that happens

it does?

Why would that happen to a "stock" car....especially one with 227 miles...I have over 145k on the broken odo and my cluster is plum....


What I find interesting is, how in the WORLD does all that plastic, rubber trim/piping all look brand new.....if its this old....Unless they oiled it all up for the pictures it should at the very least looked a little aged....

Even the hose clamp down to where what looks like the hard piping is nice and shiny.....That clamp should be fouled up a bit with age alone. I doubt someone pulled the pipe off, and buffed a clamp.

Looks restored to me. Not worth 45k...

because that peice is curved, not straight.

waste of a car that's intended to be driven and enjoyed

[Stanley Rockafella]

that tool only came in e28's but the kit box itself is for both models.

wut?

both my 86 and 88 e30's had it... and there's spots to use them on the doors too

[reelizmpro]

I would guess...$20k-25k. What do you guys say? Some of you haven't seen that radio before? wow. It's the proper late model cassette deck.
