UPDATE: E30 320is

[5DoorE30]

Earlier this year I reached out to a gentleman selling a 320is in Italy. After a couple of weeks and no answer I was able to get in touch with him. with only a bit of faith I would be able to pull it off, I bought a ticket, flew to Italy and bought the car. I had never been to Italy before and still haven't really visited Italy as a tourist but in 1 short week I arranged for the purchase and shipment of the car to Florida. i don't know how many are in the USA but I know it's not many!

Update 2:
Detailed the exterior. I will add pictures of interior when i get a chance to detail it.







Updated 1:
Had the valve cover redone.
Will detail this weekend and post some interior shots!




Car at the port in Italy:







to be fair it was easier to accomplish since it wasn't the first car I imported but Italy is surprisingly hard to do business in.

Terrible valve cover Johnny Cecotto style paint job (will be back to factory soon).

So does anyone know how many are in the USA? I know of 3 others.

I don't know for sure but there's a guy in CA who had imported two. I think one was sold to Enthusiast Auto. Then someone posted another one that was imported into San Francisco. I'm sure there are more out there such as yours. There's also this one...

Very cool car, have fun with it

Pretty rare in Europe to, I've only seen 3 or 4. I've seen more race spec m1's then these

The other coupe in a horrible shape, but it is still a 320is nonetheless.

The other sedan haven't been spotted online, but it is most likely a recent import.

I always wonder how a car like that ends up... Like that. Jesus what a mess.

Haha I had actually seen that one and completely forgotten about it...what a mess... On another note how do you format the pics to not be so huge? I tried FAQ with no luck.

I reached out to the seller on eBay today. The car was imported by a soldier who was stationed in Italy and the seller, who was not the one who originally imported it, was not sure what happened to the S14 but I have to assume it Blew up. Car is now in Arizona.
