Rare E-30's What's the rarest E-30 out there?

[M42Technik]

Is it really that big of a deal?

To Diamantschwarz fans, yes...

As for the three-door touring:

well I know its on www.e30.de somewhere, but I can't find it. Someone else got it around?

To Diamantschwarz fans, yes...

Oh, well my mistake... :roll:

im a diamontschwartz fan.. got a Touring in it.. doesnt bother me know what ppl are talking bout :p

Touring is owned by a guy over here in the UK.. its a pre facelift also in white.

I believe the E30 M3 truck and the M3 Touring 2dr are the most rare E30's.. There was only 1 of each produced from BMW, and it doesn't get any more rare than that!

[Jhonno]

never heard of the m3 touring...

Here are a couple of pics of the 3dr pre facelift touring..

Calling that bare shell a '94 or '95 e30 is just wrong...... That shell was made in '94, but that's like saying my '87 is a 2005 because the control arms I put on it were made in 2005.


I know, it's a joke, but........

Yea, that one is (also note the 4-lug wheels), I have seen pics of a real one that BMW did as a marketing spoof, it was black but I can't seem to find the pic right now...

Getting Rare

Thanks for all the replies!

This is what I was trying to get at. I'm just wondering what oddball E-30's are out there. Would love to know how many of each are out there, see some pictures, maybe an approximate value? And why you believe this car is the rarest/ most collectible E-30 out there. I dig E-30's and believe that collector interest in some rare E-30's could one day lead to our cars becoming more valuable/appreciated to non e-30'ers, as time goes on and more of these rust away in junk yards there will be less and less and they'll become like an old 356 and people may seek them out like old muscle cars, 15 years ago they were beaters and now there priceless. I'm just wondering what e-30 will be the most sought after in twenty years?

As far as the Diamond Schwarz mistake that was me. Although I've had my car since 91 and my friend had one in 86 I am still a newbie in E-30 terms/knowledge. To you hardcore Diamontschwartz fans I apologize for my blasphemy.

Please post pics and stats of what you think is the rarest E-30 ever. How many are left? Why/how was it made? Why do you think it's the rarest?

Thanks

There are a bunch of rare e30's all over the world but for the US market it has to be the 93 M Technic cabrio's. When I say M tech I mean the real M tech cabs, none of which were white. I believe they came in red, macao blue and perhaps sterling or nogaro silver and had a complete M technic suspension, interior. Not just appearance package.

I don't know about rarest.. but a well-maintained un-fucked with stock and in good running condition E30 is what i consider pretty rare now a days..

[Jand3rson]

You want some rare E30's? Here, have a look at these.

E30 M3 Sport EVO. 500 made by BMW Motorsport. Suede M-Tech II steering wheels, Recaro seats with ///M cloth inserts, red seat belts, the works.



E30 M3 Cecotto Edition. 505 made by BMW Motorsport. Included black-center 16" basketweaves, signed and numberd plaques, and some came with grey leather wrapped dashboards and consoles.





E30 M3 Cabrio. Somewhere around 700 or so made. One of THE most sought after, rarest and most expensive E30's around.

[Fanzotti]

That is exactly what I'm looking for. Where are those cars? how many of 500 are left. Those will be/are collectors items. I garuntee one of those Evo's has something the other 500 don't? making it the rarest. So far I think the m3 pick up truck may be winning? Does anyone have a pic of the real/black one and know if it still exists? Would love to see more concept cars/prototype e-30's that never made it into production and would like to know if they survived? Also would love to hear about mass produced e-30's that have some rare option, like the glass sunroof or.....

I also agree that a stock well maintained e30 is getting rarer and rarer these days...I have one...but it will be getting suspension and brakes soon.
