    E30 M3s seem to be calming down. Maybe people realized you can get an air-cooled Porsche for $40k.

      I think the only Aircooled Porsche you can get in that price range is a 80s SC and a well used one. The M3 has a legit history behind it that the regular SC never will.

      Did anyone else notice the finned diff?

        Many people have done the M coupe diff cover mod over the years, especially on E30 M3's.

          Bid for the chance to own a 1995 BMW M5 Touring Elekta at auction with Bring a Trailer, the home of the best vintage and classic cars online. Lot #3,803.


          It hasn't even been listed a day and is already at $60K
          ..and yet, no pics of the headliner. It is an E34 after all..


          :devil:

          but yes, that thing is dead sexy.

                  Hey kids, wanna blend in at the next E30 Picnic or M-car meet, have I got a car for you.. It's a RED M3!!

                  I'm just kidding obviously, if I had the opportunity to pick one up for reasonable money, I would.

                    I called it! Once the white E30 was done and sold, I predicted there would be another E30 M3 in 3....2....1.... and then BOOM Red E30 M3

                      I cannot believe the bids on the "Elektra" edition. Even given how rare it is, I didn't think it would pull that sort of interest.

                          Well, I guess the BS claims are going to start piling up in the comment section (how rare Cirrusblau is..) and every POS 325i on CL is going to add a grand to the price.

                            Cirrusblau is rare compared to the more standard colors.
