Got a '88 325 up now, this one is much more basic and still has the metal bumpers so we'll see how it does

I think most of us would rather sell here, but when you can get more money elsewhere thats where you'd go.
Mine might end up there soon too, Im still working on a private deal before I let the peanut gallery tear my as far as possible from stock "318" apartSimon

And I'm super interested to see the reaction of a more mature crowd to your car. I can see the middle aged man having a frenzy about owning a super fun weekend track car, or the collectors destroying it and keeping the value down.

what I'm still stunned about is the price of the white 318is WITH 3 piece BBS. it's like those wheels are not priced in at all.I BUY/SELL REFURBISHED CM5907s & CM5908s
HOWTOs:
DB vert plastic bumpers
OEM Keys
MTech1 docs
88 ix Lach/Card
91 ic Calypso 3.1
86 Cosmo 2.7
OEM+ or bust!
reelizmpro: I will always be an e30 guy.. I still do all of my own labor
TrentW: There's just something so right about a well-built M20 in an E30
e30m3s54turbo: I save my money for tuner parts.

Please define "impresurable".
I think the market for E30s is changing, maturing. There are only so many left stock, and speaking for myself, I would be willing to pay for it. The white 1991 318is currently on BAT is so modified that I would never bid on it.

I'm not applying this to everyone, but I've been told by plenty of people that they give the credit for rapid spike amongst a generally steady incline of value of our cars to BAT. And I believe them, it seems to have brought a lot of e30s from storage out and has been a popular spot for higher end e30s to sell.
Edit: oh and "impressurable" was me butchering the word impressionable. Spanish isn't my first language and I'm on my phone, my bad [emoji14]

I think it was you who said in this particular cars r3v ad that the funniest comment you saw was "you lost me at rolled fenders" but that speaks to what the "mature" buyers are looking for and looking to avoid
edit: BTW theres another zinno M3 up now hahaSimon
