I still can't believe the kind of money an E30 M3 commands these days.
Is it just collectors snapping them up and parking them as investments?
Seems you could build/buy a 325i to be significantly better then an M3 in every way for less then 1/3rd of the cost.
There are even replica body panels to build a clone if that's your thing.

With all the monopoly money going around it seems like anything and everything has been turned into an investment vehicle - pun intended.
I'm not a huge fan of the e30 m3 body kit either. I'd much rather just have a standard e30 with any one of a dozen engine swaps for pennies on the dollar you'd pay to get an e30 m3 these days.

The one 'other' listed above is a S54 swapped M3. Quite an outlier, but still wasnt the highest selling E30 M3!
Bid for the chance to own a S54-Powered 1988 BMW M3 at auction with Bring a Trailer, the home of the best vintage and classic cars online. Lot #69,617.
Other Interesting notes:
-E30s continue to rise in YoY average price. 2019 AVG was $11,624, doubling to 22,204 in 2020, and averaging 10% YoY since then
-318iS numbers dropped, possibly hinting that the "Bargain" E30 / Baby M3 are either not meeting BaTs criteria or there are less out there...
-The convertibles continue to dominate the sales, likely because they are the least used, least modified of the bunch.
-M3 prices continue to rise (~10% YoY)
-Swapped car sales rose, suggesting they are accepting more, but also likely that there are more cleaner swaps available now.Last edited by 2mAn; 01-03-2023, 12:22 PM.Simon

BaT makes the cars accessible nationwide so it's just like buying anything else online.
