Hey all,
I am looking at picking up an E30 again or similar BMW. E34? E39? I for the last 6 years have been driving a 2002 SS Camaro that has around 510RWHP and is fully modded out from suspension etc. I am just sick of it to be frank. I bought the car built so it took all the fun out of modding it when it was done to someone else's tastes and wants. When I first drove it I was kinda taken by the obscene power and noise but the 16MPG and the 1200$ tires have just killed any fun and my wallet lol.
The Fbody has been bullet proof since I bought it but it is just not a drivers car in any sense of the word. Terrible blind spots, subpar road feel, awful interior, terrible ride. The ride I can forgive cause it is slammed on coil overs but it is borderline painful and useless in a DD role as a single speed bump will stop it dead in its tracks.
I sold my E30 88' 325iX years ago because I hit a dear with it and one of my biggest mistakes was to not go and purchase another one right after. Instead I bought a E24 that was a hidden heap, bent subframe all the electrics went bad in one year, clutch it was just a disaster.
I am just wondering what a clean 325iS goes for these days? Like sub 150K mi do they even exist any longer? Are E36s finally down in the 5-10K range? I don't know I just would like to get a drivers car again and was looking for some suggestions as I am just fed up with my SS. Something in the 10K range? FD? S2000? IDK I am just starting my search for a replacement.
Thanks for any help!
