Well... It happened again. I stumbled upon yet another insane deal on a rare E30. (For anyone not familiar with my other threads, this is not the first time it's happened...see sig)
It's a 82 Euro 320i in Bronzit with Nutria Brown cloth interior. As far as I know, this is one of the very first E30's ever produced, it was first registered in December 1982 and has a November 1982 build date. I've never seen an earlier E30.
It was listed locally for a very low asking price. With a few odds and ends I found missing when I went to go see it, I managed to get the price down even further. Ultimately, this car cost me less than a set of tires for my M3...:D
I got it into my shop today and had a first chance to look over it, I pulled the carpet and some other stuff, guess what... except for a tiny spot right by the gas pedal, it's completely rust free!!! The only other problem is a dented and misaligned hood
The engine runs smooth, the clutch seems good... overall everything checks out even better than expected.
I only took a couple of cell phone shots so far... stay tuned for more, this should get pretty exciting!
