It didn't take much convincing. This was the nicest M3 I've looked at by a long shot. I really couldn't find any major flaws other than the interior and a few odds and ends which I'll get to. We agreed on a price and I told the owner I'd be back in a couple of weeks with a trailer. He didn't even ask me for a deposit.
Pretty thick fog on the way down to DC.
Loaded up on the trailer. Wish I could have found a nicer one. This was back in December and we were expecting snow the following weekend so I settled on this.
Constantly checking the rear view. Making sure she hasn't fallen off. :D
After 8 hours on the road and traffic through the city, I got the car home and in my driveway. Finally.
Tucked away in the garage.

Here are some pics of the car the first time I saw it in person at the previous owner's house.
He also owns an immaculate Z8 so I knew the M3 was well taken care of.
These chrome exhaust tips have to go. They're just cheap extensions that are held in place by a set screw. I have a feeling this isn't the OEM muffler.
The seats are original from 1989. They show some wear but aren't ripped. I'll eventually find a nice set or have these recovered.
This one still has the black American tow hook covers next to the fog lights. I actually think they're pretty cool.

Larry's 89 Zinno E30 M3 build
Want to share my build thread over here. I started one on another message board, but think you guys might like it. I'll recap everything up to this point and then continue with the updates.
Since I was a kid, I always wanted an e30 M3. It wasn't until a year and a half ago I got really serious about finding one. I've been documenting my progress for months and figure it's time to start sharing the pics here.
As most of us do when we're looking for the "perfect car" I looked at tons of M3s for sale. Some were in my price range, most weren't. The trouble is, so many of these cars have been wrecked, turned into racecars, or in the Northeast where I'm from they have serious rust issues.
The perfect car (for me) showed up on eBay and 2 or 3 months after the auction didn't meet reserve, I went down to the DC area to check out the car.
Here's how it looked when I bought it. A basically perfect body with everything I wanted. Original S14 with some goodies. Black interior, Zinnobberrot, although I didn't really care what color I ended up with as long as it wasn't a rotbox.
