Influx of E30 Tourings to the U.S.

[freeride53]

Do you guys foresee this happening within the next month or so?

Will this consequently witness a drop in E30 Touring prices in the states?

Discuss.

I don't think so. Good tourings in Europe are hard to find, so either you get a rusty piece of shit which is not going to worth the shipping or they're gonna be as expensive as the cars currently on the market. Plus people importing them will tend to do that for themselves so I wouldn't say supply will go up on the market. Unless vlad sets up a rooski boat full of them but they will still be rusty, shitty and overpriced.

Plus finding the correct manf. year is really hard.
Junkyard guys I've talked to that specialize in BMWs predict even junkyard/used parts not being available within 5 years.
Many cars have gone east out of the EU and further to Africa and the Middle East due to EU legislation making them very expensive to own. Barely any non-enthusiasts drive E30/34 and older.

I looked into bringing one into Canada from Europe or Japan and finding one in very good condition and rust free is difficult. The ones that are excellent condition are not cheap, then you have to factor in transportation costs and import fees.

After I did my calculations and included a s52 swap it was cheaper to buy the one that I have now than bringing one in and building it.

this.

buying an O.k. one in Germany i going to cost a min, of 2000 euros= 2400 dollars.
shipping will run you a min. of 2200 dollars. ( and that is with pure luck)


So, if you ship a car that you somehow find in Europe- for a cheap price, you are already at a min. of 4500 dollars at the east cost.

I know there are many of us that would be willing to shell out $4500 - $10k for an E30 Touring.

I know you guys are in to rare shit and bragging rights but I personally think E30 Tourings are pretty ugly. Much rather have an Audi A4 or E46 wagon.

Is wanting a RHD touring simply 100% wanting what you cannot (easily) have/the grass is always greener, or is there another reason?

It's amazing the stuff you can type when your other hand isn't wrapped around your cock.
