Bring a Trailer Auctions, E30 edition

[ForcedFirebird]

Where do you find $25,000 cars with 13,000 miles for $3,380?
Why did you get rid of yours if it had only 13,000 miles?

Have you seen my join date? Lol. Had it for a bit before joining any forums. Hence the username "ForcedFirebird" due to the nature of my thirdgen f-body v6 twin turbo, and forum activity in those days.

My e30 was the same age then as an early E46 is today. ;)

You can probably get an E46 for $3,000.
But a 17-year-old 13,000-mile E46 costs $39,000 https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2002-bmw-m3-61/

M3 vs regular 3 series. When I bought my Delphin car, e30m3's were in the $10k range.

This guy bought an M3 for $13.5k.
I guess he has spent more than $30k and 5 years of nights and weekends on its restoration.
Imagine if he had bought a 13,000-mile M3.

BringATrailer sure has been quiet lately with the e30s... or maybe I've been so used to 5 new e30s popping up on the site a week. Activity has slowed down considerably.

I'm seeing a lot of Etas for sale lately, always disappointing to see that "e".

That one is a built motor with a S52 crank and some other crazy shenanigans going on with the motor. dont be so quick to dismiss the 'E' ... throw some euro bumpers on that and suddenly you have an amazing E30

It was pretty crazy for a while there in the late fall

Yeah, upon further inspection, it looks pretty fucking sweet! I'm thinking of getting in on the bidding.
