if anything i think they are going up a bit. i bought mine for 9K, and now had 2 offers since for 11K and 13K.

I don't think that they will ever go down in price.

It's way up right now. You can hardly find a rolling chassis for less than $5k. I bought mine for $11k 4 years ago and I've had recent offers for $16-17k.

Its been on a steady incline since about '00.

Definite Incline. I want to get one...but it would be hard to go from 240whp to less than 200 crank HP for more money..

If I knew then what I know now, I would have bought one when I had the opportunity. Back in 2003 I saw one for $3000 and I thought it was a bit pricy for a 15 year old car. Plus I had no idea what an M3 was. I thought it was just a regular old BMW with a kit on it.

definite incline, got mine for $11k in 2002 and was recently offered $17k

I got mine in 2001 and they were rising slowly, then they rose very quickly, and leveled out. Now theyre just rising slowly again.

Adam,

What the hell are you waiting for? Maybe it's time for another drive in the 911......

I don't think it will ever go back down. I think they have reached a point like other "classic" cars where they are just going to go up in value.

A year or two back I did a ton of price research on the value of e30 m3s, like AdamF 88iS said, 5k is cheap for a rolling chassies. anything less will buy you a non running bent in half, or half or a m3 lol.

Even total crap m3's that are beat to hell with 9 million miles on them will still sell for 8k+ as long as they are running.

Of course again, mine seems to be the exception to all of these rules lol. I would say any running m3 you find for under 8k I would snap it up.

[Jscotty]

So lets say I happened to acquire an M3 at the police auction and I decided to put my M20 engine in it? Would that count as a "running" car?
