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

[BeirBrennerE30]

Wow. Then I must have one of the oldest 1984 318s in the US. 7/83 is my build date.

you have the very first e30 ever made...

how funny would that be

I think you mean the 91' M Technic cabrio. All (175-225) were built in 4/91 in the three colors stated above - the silver was the salmon silver. Most were automatics - this was a trial baloon by BMW to see if a cabrio with M suspension, aero effects, leather/evo M3 cloth interior would sell..............It was a $4500 option over the standard E30 325i cabrio. They ended up with a sticker price of $40,000 + (more expensive than the M3). They did sell all of them, finally, but the high price was the killer. For '92, they then made, the special run of 1000 all white/white interior M Technic cabrio's (lowered the price, [ less - M3 suspension & cloth/leather combo interior]) also, mostly automatics. This model also known as the "chick car".

The 91' (any of the 3 colors)with 5 speed is probably the rarest at probably less than 25 each. A 92' white/white with 5 speed is still very rare with probably less than 200 built.



there's a salmon silver 91 mtech 5 speed cabrio with the evo interior pattern up the street from me,owned by an older lady prob in her late 50's,i keep bugging her if she'd sell it but,she just likes it being a convertible(well it's summer time now)i'll ask her again in late fall-she has no clue what she has so i hope i get it at a good price..has 120k miles....

I would go after this car in a big way if I were you!! Figure, at this moment,
you are way down the list of who's spoken to her about buying it when she's ready to sell, behind the gas station guy, the BMW service tech, the service writer, the carry out boy etc...........you need to work at becoming her friend & letting her know how much of a BMW E30 fanatic you are. Tell her how much you love her car & if she ever wants to trade it in or get rid of it, you would like "1st right of refusal". Find out what she likes & dislikes about it, offer to buy her a 92-94 vert & trade it for the M Tech. Do everything but steal it!! If your coy, to think you'll get it at a cheap price - you'll loose it! If your honest & excited, you move to the top of the list & end up getting it - & at a fair price. The art of getting a "good deal" is only bench racing - if you don't GET the deal!! MAKE IT HAPPEN!!

i've only seen one other e30 with my color, ever. and it lives in my little town, too :) 4 door though :O

[peterz]

if it's the one in your sig, I almost bought one when I was looking for this 325i.
it was some weird named colour, it's a bluey grey. it was a 4door, there was sap damage to the roof however, which would have cost a lot to get resprayed.

[moatilliatta]

1 it would cost 34234 dollars
2 it woud break my back.

cant be m3. had new style tails + 4lug.

The rarest real production BMW model ever was m10 powerded 316ia with catalytic converter, 22 pcs ever made.

(M3 evoII 501 pcs.)
(M3 Europa meister 148pcs)

i would say the two white sport EVO's would be the most rare

[SchnellerVert]

Maybe a Sport EVO indvidual, most of the time now two indvidual cars are alike.

The rarest e30

Dude. The ultimate rarest e30 is easy. The Cecotto M3. Still factory stock Cecotto. Just did some brake line work on one. Amazing car.

those are sort of common here in europe.

less common that a stock M3, but not hard to find either. in a year i've ridden in 3 and talked to 3 other owners

[CleanAzzE30z]

Alpina-BMW of South Africa 333i, or Australian John Player Special edition come to mind. Or an '88 ///M3 Europameister?
