Totalled E30 M3?

[gsbadbmr]

By the looks of the pictures, do you think this car is totalled? There is a guy near my place selling it, i just don't know for how much, nor do i have much info on it. It's an 88...

That doesn't appear to be too bad. As long as the longitudinal "rails" that extend foward from the cabin and where the bumper mounts to is straight (especially at or behind the front axle line) then it could be repaired. The few pics that you posted make it difficult to give a concrete answer. But from what I see, I think its fixable.

naw, that car is totalled. I bet the roofline is tweaked along with the door fitment. That car took a pretty hard hit...
walk away...

walk away...

That car is totaled without a doubt. The entire front core support is gone, and the frame rails are undoubtedly skewed. The A-Pillars and Roof are likely out of whack too.

Its a fixer.
Get more detailed pics.

with a good Celette frame alligner and people they know their job it's probably a fixer
but the costs will raise in the heights , damn high

At this point in time an E30 M3 is an investment. Nothing less. You'll make money back in the long run.

Everyone else who already owns an M3 will gain even more if people continue to "Throw these cars away" and part them out.

IMO are these E30 not a simply throw away car it's damn more exclusive than a E36 M3
it's a limited edition car we need to save tis cars as much as possible (I know it sounds like a priest ) I've seen many E30 M3's for $20.000 and more here 'cause they disappear often in parts

Thats what I said.

The value of M3's for the people who own them, will continue to rise if people keep parting them out.

Instead of getting pissy at the people parting them out, why dont you yell at the morons that are wrecking them.

The car is most likly a bit out of wack (duh) but if you have the time and money then buy it and take it to a frame shop since frame pullers do exist, But dont expect a perfectly straight M3 afterwords, It will look fine but the frame might still stay a bit tweaked hopefully the door and hood should open like they should but maybe not as great as they are suppose to and most defintally it will not be a show quality M3 or might who knows.

Last of all hopefully it will drive straight still.

If all else fails get it for cheap and part it out. :)
