How rare is my 85 e?

[88driftIS]

Ok, I just realized that my e has a lot more options then I have ever seen on any other e's.

It has power windows, power sunroof, 13 button obc, full leather sport interior(prob not original).

basically trimmed like a later i/is but with a b27.

any ideas?

[Julien]

iirc all 85 etas are full option.

[yberther]

so does mine...

its not rare.

[Raxe]

Most of them have those options.

[88driftIS]

ok, lol, that answers it then. nm I just probably never see 85 e's around here at all.

[e30trooper]

my 87 eta dosnt have teh 13 obc but a 6. Power windows, hounds tooth int. and stock lsd , abs etc

[yberther]

[KillaCam]

I have the rare-ist of all 20yr old shitboxes.

It is not rare at all. Remember until the 325i was released in North America in late 1986 the 325e was the top of the line e30 here. As such, most of them are heavily optioned. My 84's original purchase price was somewhere over $25k (in 1984 dollars!) with every option except leather, which was probably because it was a So-Cal car originally.
Also the 'e' for economy didn't mean economy as in cheap, it meant it in relation to fuel-efficiency.

My 85 was fully loaded as well.

My 85e is rare. It has the leather rear seat made in '87, and CC that works. Didn't have LSD though.

...It has power windows, power sunroof, 13 button obc...

My 87e has all that plus tape holder console thingy

[VA85eta]

My '85 e is pretty well optioned as well...

Well over $25k in 1985 - have a copy of the original Bill-of-sale.

All power options, leatherette interior, 13 OBC, LSD, etc. Have a new in the box OEM sunroof windscreen that the original owner purchased as a dealer add at the time of sale but never had installed.
