Which E30 best for DD?

[DeM3n]

I'm looking at picking up a DD since I'm gonna be doing some work to my E36. Of these, which do you think is the better "deal" for DD to work.

Kinda weird that he doesn't use his own pic :/

I like this one since its an IX

I like the price on this one :)

These are all within my price range too!

I would say the first one. The other two look beat to shit.

[Dirtsquirt]

Holy shit....


What the hell did that iX drive and then back over?

A damn log?!?

And BUY that 318... amazing daily. If the body is straight with no detectable crash damage and it has decent mileage (under 200k) its a smoking buy.

haha, that IX blew up on its way up from grants pass last year when Curt was going to possibly buy it. timing belt let go while he was on the freeway.

id say the 318, but id want to know the mileage. it seems that alot of the m42s take a poop right around 175-200k. ask Curt or Ken Copperwheat about that one.

look for a 325e David. i love driving whitneys around town and it gets great gas mileage. not as fast as a I but still strong.

The 88 it has euros.

The 88 it has euros.

Thats not the actual car for sale. Thats just some pic the guy says his car looks like even though the one for sale is a bronzit.

Get the IX since as far as I know it snows in oregon.

I would try to set up a meet with the first one just to see the condition of the car. If its in good condition. Thats a good price. Then i would look into the 318is.

[DeM3n]

Yeah, so I called the first one up. Gonna look into that one first. Left a message so we'll see. Hey Jeff, know of anything closer?

[smonkbmw]

i know what you do, just via craigslist.

ix has a really nice interior... for a DD it would be perfect

[Van Westervelt]

I looked at that ix last summer. Same kid trying to sell it. He snapped the timing belt on I-5. Car is truly beat to hell. The skirts cover up a lot of damage. More is visible underneath too. Seriously looked like some 12 yo kids ran it through a field and over rocks, logs etc. I passed on it for 1500.

None of the doors line up, seems to have some B pillar damage as well.

If you want an e34 93 525i auto for 2k, let me know. I have one.
