    I need to find an e30!

    Where should I be looking? I'm monitoring the classifieds on bimmerforums, here, e30tech, and bimmerfest.

    I'm looking for an 89+ 325i 4-door, manual. I'm looking for something in solid mechanical and cosmetic condition, little to no rust. What other places should I be looking? I need one soon, as I'm going to be car-less very soon.

      I'm not sure what that is. Classified section in the Gazette? Yeah, this is central Iowa though. I think I just bought the only e30 in the state for my little brother. :D

              Maybe you can drive around older affluent neighborhoods and knock on some doors to see if you can make them an offer for the car. I am sure that there are people who have an E30 sitting on their driveway collecting pollen and leaves and they probably never thought about selling it because nobody would want it.

                  Yeah, I've been on roadfly since day 1. Here's what I'm scouring hourly:


                  ebay
                  autotrader
                  cars.com
                  bimmerforums classifieds
                  bimmerfest classifieds
                  r3vlimited classifieds
                  e30tech.net classifieds
                  roadfly


                  One car 1500 miles away right now, but looking into it anyway.

                          I see, man your fast.
                          That sucks, sometimes the more you want it the harder it will be to get it.
                          Good Luck!8-)

                            Yeah, but that makes the payoff that much better in the end.
