Yah, shame about the M10...

....yet I also agree with you; I would leave it alone.

neat but it's a 316i. it would be a nice base as a project (swap, turbo, etc), but I don't know that the originality is all that interesting because the 316i was terrible.

I mean, when I see a really clean, original looking Chrysler K-car, I think wow, that thing is really clean! but I sure as hell don't want it..

This^ a rebuilt m30 in that will be amazing.

I bet EAG could ask near $100k for it and sell it in a week.

Haha, that would be great to see.

I appreciate ANY car with low miles in this condition. I mean, I have even looked at ~1988 Caravans or ~1994 Explorers on eBay and thought: "wow I hope no one ruins them". They are like time capsules or kind of like a time machine to see what cars like that and from that era were like. Since they are only original once I think it would be best to keep it that way but that's just me.

[slammin.e28]

I'd keep it original....unless the engine popped or something....it's cool in that it's uber low miles and great condition.

Every other e30 in existence has been M5x swapped.

[nando]

M20 swap it. ;)

[slammin.e28]

M20 swap it. ;)

Are you trying to make my head explode? :p

[nando]

yes. yes I am.

It's a shame he's going to swap it though. Even though it's a 316, that car is a time capsule and deserves to be left alone. There's plenty of E30s in lesser condition to swap instead.

I've got the equivalent in a loaded 325is in my stable right now. :)

Any car that old in that condition with that mileage is an incredible find. :D
