Saw this, and read it had a "$50k refreshment". Like wtf. You could buy 2-3 pristine E30s for that amount, or an M3. Someone had more money than brains.

I'm showing this listing to my wife to justify how little in comparison I spend on my own 318

Wow that thing is gorgeous. I hope I'm able to make my E30 look comparably good in the not too distant future.

Just have to spend $50k. Easy peasy

That's why I need to learn to paint. (edit) I read through his receipts and he didn't even get the car painted apparently. Did spend $5650 on PPF though.

There's a lot of appeal in a car that's already been restored than buying a "pristine" survivor.

Those low mileage clean cars will start to fall apart as you drive them. They're still 30 sum year old.

I'm in the business of restoring/fixing cars and it a long tedious process that takes a lot of time. When a car is getting mechanically restored, reupholstered and painted its a LONG process and hiccups are inevitable.

this car will fetch around what it cost to restore it most likely, but the new owner is going gets to hop in a car that theoretically won't need any of the "big" three; paint, upholstery or engine refresh.

They just get a sweet ride.

I didn't read thru the receipts cuz idk how to read, but that car is nice and it looks like a nut and bolt restoration.

5650 or whatever for PPF is ridiculous. what a stupid thing to do.

I'd like a design edition touring at some point, but definitely not a black car. The dream was purple car with purple design edition on ronal teddy wheels. That or lagunen green with a green interior. That or a blue car with a blue interior. Maybe a henna, but not a zinno.

For what they cost to buy here, i'd try to fly to europe, road trip the car, then ship it back.

Im sending this to my buddy because he wants an E30 and ignored my cries for bids on the 318is Sedan that sold yesterday so hopefully he pays attention to this one. We could be cowcatcher buddies

People in the comments are freaking out too much about the "rust". Doesn't look too bad. I would honestly not fix any of it, and just send it. Weird type of car honestly. Like if you want a "driver" E30, an M3 is not the way to go with prices.

JasonWilson48 they should look for something like this instead...
