Genuine E30 320is CA/Ebay

[keefy6]

Rarer than an E30 M3...? Pretty Much

- Roughly 3500 produced and actually faster than the big brother
- Roughly 17K total produced E30 M3s

I'm interested to see where this goes, hope the owner ends up on R3V

would rather have m3.

[goldfishe666]

Have you driven it at all in the states? I saw your ad on CL.


Edit: Assuming you're the owner I mean

[Conki]

I would pay 15k for a sub100k mile 2-door example.

Edit: In excellent condition. Although rarer than an M3, it doesn't look like one -- so it lacks the M3's biggest appeal.

Ive never understood why they put the s14 in that car but none others besides the m3.

Bahahahahahah wtf.

This dude must be comforatable. I've sat inside this very car before.
It was a LJ Independent down the road from my house/university last fall.

BTW - This car has been spotted around North County San Diego. I recall, there are a few photos of it in our CA section.
Pretty fishy - I think someone was driving this car on CA plates from another e30 lololol.

Here are some of the photos I took

What I've got to say:

I spoke with several technicians who were working on this car back in November.
Great car. Beautiful. Even my very own dream car to a t (DS, 320is, 4d)

Would be awesome for one of the guys in the community who is living comfortably to pick this up.

It's also super funny to see that the owner of this car is from Bolinas! Super small town, out by the woods of Marin Co north of SF. Some great surfing and food in that little fishing town.

Also one of the best driving roads in California!

Crazy how small the California BMW community is - I bet this guy knows my family friend/local mechanic back in the East bay Area and that he knows this car (the owner of LJI knows him too).

Cheers!

Rarer than an M3? Yes. Cooler? No.

[freeride53]

^ I beg to differ! I think they're pretty cool in terms of that.

Why is this platform a 4 door chassis but on the console it only has two switches for the windows?

and also, no engine bay shot?

Going to assume there are switches on rear door cards or the back windows are manual which would e dumb.

The back has manual windows. Common for EU. The Ebay ad has engine photos

http://www.theeurophile.com/ his web page. Odd he mentions that the Tech II kit was not included on most but that's not what I have seen over the years.

This is the car's build sheet. It is a cool car but not a 35K car. It kind of reminds me of the red Japanese import what happened to that car? Anyone know.

[oliver.r]

rather have a m3 for 35k

[Kershaw]

engine shots?

Common on other Euro cars like Volvo to have the front power, and the rear manual.


+1 on engine shots
