    It looks like it is a 1988 m3?

    good deal

    Looks clean; speaking of clean; get those leaves off of it:). Will rust like crazy in the windshield area:). Hope you have fun with it. There are still some deals around.

    Thank you! I'm still in shock. The car has been in this small midwest town it's entire life (where I live now). It was owned by a wealthy gentlemen since '94, and the guy I bought it from found it in his driveway with flat tires. It was a daily driver all of last year, but the HG went and the car sat for a year, which brings us to now. The car is very complete which is what I like. All of the detail plastic pieces, covers, tools, etc are all there. It has a fairly fresh coat of paint, all panels are original. It's the perfect car to refresh and drive.

    I'll be pulling the motor, doing a clutch, HG, and going over everything up there, and will then do a full suspension/bushing refresh.

    Once I'm done that I'm going to reupholster the interior, drive it, and fix all the small things while I enjoy it! Can't wait to get her up to speed.

    Hey R3V-

    Sometimes life gives you lemons, and sometimes life presents you with an opportunity to buy the car of your dreams. No McLaren, Porsche, or Lamborghini has ever piqued my interest in the same way an E30M3 has. It's the most searched item in my internet history (besides Emma Watson), it's in 80% of my dreams, and is still in most of my nightmares. However, they've always felt unobtainable.

    Out here in the middle-of-nowhere Indiana, a good friend of mine has had one of these sitting for a year. And as much as I constantly pleaded, he didn't ever want to sell. And then one day you get "that text". The one where you know your life could potentially change in a big way.

    That text was a few days ago.

    And this is today.







    It's dirty, it's been unloved, but it's complete.

    And most importantly, it's mine.
