Man, I had no idea there was such a thing as a Touring 3 dr E30. THat has to be super rare. If they came out with an M3 version, that definately has to be the rarest E30 around

Yeah I know , but I'm saying that August might be a bit early to call it the next years model .

I believe it is July and after that are considered next years models, right?

Believe those were not in house designs. Also the were made in NL also correct, like a Bauer.

I see, didn't know that.

(M3 Europa meister 148pcs)

What other rare e-30's are there? M3 convertible sounds pretty rare but how rare? I'm no pro but I'm guessing the 93 convertible isn't the rarest one out there. So of those 30 93 convertibles which one would be considered the rarest of the 30? Is there one that has something the other 30 dont???? Does it still exist?


Pics and Statistics would help!!!

I heard only 500 or so M3 convertible E30s were ever made and even in Europe they are hard to get a hold off. Even though right now there is one for sale on Ebay.de for buy it now 17,500 euro

I remember a while ago when i was looking through an import service website, i came across an e30 m3 that was in Japan. The different thing about it was I think it was a 1994 or 95. I am not kidding, and i think i showed it to e30trash, he might remember it also.

Hey Guys, cool thread in deed.

Allow me present my 20 September 1992 build, registered as a 93.

If you want rare the PO was in a front end accident (left fender) and the body shop sourced an entire bumper from a early (notice the square turn signals on the bumper skin) dive board and painted it and the foreskin in brilliantrot. I know it's not rare....and I'm looking to replace the bumper soonest.

By the way, its SCHWARZ.

mauritusblau ftw


i'd say an e30 on r3v with correct rear tires and front aligment would be teh rarest :Rofl:

cool fuckin thread i must admit i learned alot

To my knowledge all schwartz 89+ cars had D-schwartz bumpers on them. My schwartz 91 325i has the factory bumpers on it. I know because I have had them both off and the correct vin tags were on both. And both bumpers were the D-schwartz as well. Also from what I remember when I worked at the dealer back from 1989-1995 all schwartz e30's with the plastic bumpers did have the D-schwartz bumpers as well... But keep in mind I have slept and have had more than my share of jager since then too.....

By the way, its SCHWARZ.

No its not. Car makers change model years whenever they feel like it. Its not uncommon for the next year's model to come out in March even. My E46 is a late July build, but it was still an '04 and not an '05.

Of course there are exceptions, almost every new car rollout has an early production as well as other oddities. I drive an August '95 1995 M3, for another example.

The fact is, the general consensus for a regular model year change is June 30th.

That's a good looking car, but a black interior convertible would be too hot for this climate. That's a great site for cabrio owners, though. A non-heated seat, 5-speed, blue M-tech would be more rare, as there were only 3 instead of 5.

Good point, you're right. Those Baurs could be more rare, but I was thinking along the lines of factory cars, ones that rolled strait off of the assembly line. All of those Bauer iX's and Hartge M3's and the like were not factory cars.
