Hm maybe the e30 m3 isnt worth the money..

[Fanzotti]

I think the best part is that you actually give a damn about what I consider my car.

I didn't claim it was grey market, because its not.

Frankly I'm glad its not a grey market e30 as most of them are rusty piles of shit around here.

Grey Market Mtech1's are more rare in the states then M3's.

So fine, to shut you up.

My ETA, at least according to VIN, is a dime a dozen E30 that is in no way unique to other 04/86 eta's in the united states. An absolute enormous amount of them were made. Shit I better go out and buy an M3 now if I want to be more Unique.

I hope my insurance company does not hear about that, they may go by bluebook now!

Who cares??? It's not like this car really exists anyway.

Man thats a good quote.

I saw this in someone's sig here...

I had a good friend who told me that if you park your car and don't feel inclined to look back at it as you walk away, you have the wrong car. I look back every time...

I believe that about sums up the feeling I would get if I owned an E30 M3. I think I would have the same feelin about an E36/E46 but the E30 M3 is so unique with its sexy fenders and what not. I absolutely love the body on that thing.

[!RocknE30!]

I'd take the E30 M3 over that Lancia any day of the week. Just on looks alone, that's like comparing Jessica Alba to a redheaded step child; the E30 M3 is pure sex on wheels. The only reason the Lancia won that little mini-race was because of straight line speed. Yeah, there are a hell of a lot of cars that can beat the E30 M3 now, but that is to be expected when 300hp is becoming the bare minimum for a new "sports car" in todays market and the E30 M's put down less then 200 at the crank.

The last two times I was out at PIR there was a guy in a grey E30 M3 that was hauling some serious ass. I think the car still had an S14 (it didn't sound like a 6 when he was passing me :D) but that guy and that car got along very, very well. The horsepower difference between my 318is and his M3 is only what, 60hp or so at the crank, and he was passing me and many others like we were sitting still.

You don't buy an E30 M3 with the expectation of being able to stomp on any car out there today on a road course, etc. It's just that it is everything a car enthusiast wants thrown into one package. It's is a beautiful car, it's light and responsive, it doesn't have enough horsepower to allow your right foot to make up for bad driving, etc. One day I hope to own one, but I'll probably molest it with an S5x swap. Hell, maybe I'll buy two and have on in S14 mode for the purists and one in S5x mode for everyone else. That'll be the day..

That's like Jordan saying his car was an E36 because of the body kit and wheels, etc. What the hell are you smoking to think that your car is "grey market" because you imported an M-tech I kit?

He didn't say that. He said that a grey market Mtech I in the states is more rare than an e30 M3.

His car may not win playing the VIN game, but it is definatley not something you see every day and is no where near the original 86 eta it was. I believe the body is about the only thing left from that car.

[Digitalwave]

Its not an eta. If you want to play the damn VIN game then go ahead, but I don't see it that way anymore.

Fine, a euro grey market imported 325i Mtech1 is more rare in the states then a bloody M3.

I see a hell of a lot more M3's then Mtech1 E30's.

[James Crivellone]

Not more rare than an E30 M3 convertible, or E30 M3 Evo II, or E30 M3 Evo III, or E30 M3 Ravaglia, or E30 M3 Cecotto.

US Spec M3 Coupe, not talking about tourings, baurs, and special m3's.

[James Crivellone]

You're hilarious James, you are really telling me etas aren't a dime a dozen?

[YAN-3]

If in a persons mind its not worth the money (which is a completely valid opinion, we dont all think alike), then the E30 ///M3 is not the car for said person. Performance isnt what makes this car valuable. Get a Camaro if you want torque, or a Jap car if you want cheap FWD hp. Shit one can even get a E36 ///M3 for the same price nowadays. :)


Mariano

very well put Mariano. I agree. its not how you stand by your car, its how... oops wrong thread. :D

seriously though, Long live our beloved e30 M3!!!:hitler:

[JGood]

You're hilarious James, you are really telling me etas aren't a dime a dozen?

my pink one is rare

[Digitalwave]

Its okay, I'd rather have my unrare car then a dime a dozen E36.

Pick on somebody else TeeJay.

You're hilarious James, you are really telling me etas aren't a dime a dozen?

[chucko]

Last I checked mtech1 e30's are more rare in the states then M3's, even my replica.

Not more rare than an E30 M3 convertible, or E30 M3 Evo II, or E30 M3 Evo III, or E30 M3 Ravaglia, or E30 M3 Cecotto.

[DarkWing6]

Since when are 86 etas rare?
