End of an era

In fact I think it was in the year 2002 mobile tradition built a "new" 2002tii completely from mobile tradition parts. Not really cause for panic in my opinion.

I think it was about built about 90% from parts still available.
Here is part 1 of 3 from a program on the subject.

Keep in mind that the 2002 has been mobile tradition for probably close to 20 years. You can still get damn near anything for that car.

Well, e30's are getting crushed by yards...
Spec e30 class is going strong...
We've been allowed to be at Vintage at Vineyards with other classic BMWs...


Yes, prices will start climbing pretty soon.

hmm better start looking for a nice clean example.. and this time not turn it into a racecar :)

Damn this sucks

Ehh, not like M3 parts were all easy to get anyways...

I wondered when this would happen. I don't see how its a good thing by any means.

They made what, 2.2 million of these cars? The parts supply will be around for a while. I can still go to the dealer and order pretty much anything I need for a 2002, so I wouldn't worry a bunch.

Next step is NLA, sigh.

Mike, I went to realoem.com and E30 is still listed as current. I suppose they haven't yet updated their website though. It'll be cool to see the E30 with the likes of the E9, 2002, and Neue Klasse cars.

So when do they start whipping out new body panels and other cool mobile tradition parts?

You can still order most of the important body panels new...
