Not sure what is going on there...
There is no upper spring perch.

e30 PRICES ARE GOING UP !!!

That's for sure! I almost want to keep my 86 because of it...

[einstein57]

People are asking for more but everyone I know who recently bought an e30 is still paying in the $2-3k range.

[mcskibadee1]

What people are asking is a lot different than what they are going for.

If what is being sold is worth it, it will definitely bring in the money.

The problem is that some poor desperate soul out there, will sometimes pay big money for POSs that are hardly worth looking at to most of us. For the noobie, it will probably be a score all day.

and THATS what raises the market.. even if just a little. if people are paying those prices, market price will climb eventually almost every one i know bought their e30 for 500-1k.. see if you can find 5 running e30s in that price range online right now.

In the last year and half,i bought 3 e30's for $1880.00. My dd/track car silver 90 325i coupe 5 speed($380.00),87 325e 4 door auto (daughters first car $800.00) and my latest 91 325i coupe auto for (Dads new ride $700.00). Not bad at all !

quick question regarding injectors and spark plugs:

i read that stock "i" injectors were like 12-13lbs and stock "e"s were around 17-19lbs.
is this true? if so then "e" injectors would be an upgrade to an "i" car correct?

and between "e" and "i" spark plugs; is there a real difference?

[CHIF8008]

you need a 88+ water pump , the metal hose from a late model. Then basically your running a late model type set up.

ill do that the next water pump interval. already had this one purchased and installed. this will work for now

thanks for the info man

No and 'e's are low impedance anyways.

I've worked on at least a dozen e30 this year where the newbie e30 owner had paid over 5k for the car. All were cars most of us would not buy at any price.
Its a mix of things but the main problem seems to be that most buyers dont know anything about what they are buying.
drifting and the whole hellaflush thing has made e30s cool again for newbs.
this too shall pass.
