    I have no interest in fixing the car. It will never be a straight car, so there is no point in putting it back together so it looks good, but doesn't have perfect geometry.

      Also, if anyone knows of a decent e36 for sale for a reasonable price, let me know please. Preferably an m3, but I could deal with the right 328.

        Holy shitfuck, you hit that other car HARD. Glad you're alright.

        As an E36 convert, I can definitely say you won't be disappointed with a 328

        If you drive your e30 on stairs, you're gonna have a bad time.

              Glad you're alright! You should be able to recover a decent amount of money off of your car if you can take some time to do a full part out - It really doesn't take that long to strip an e30. Electric impact will zip off bolts super fast.

                bummer - it's fixable, probably around $2-3k, but may not be worth it to you.

                and they don't own your car!! there is nothing to buy back since they do not own it! they will just take the "salvage value" out of whatever they pay out if you keep the car. they NEVER have ownership!

                  Dang... your story is so similar to mine... I ended up with a Dinan E36 M3 as a replacement to my totaled 325is... So far I love the M, but its a different beast compared to what my E30 was...

                  Good luck in your search for an M.

                    I loved my E36's I had 3 of them and one of this days I'll get a sedan M3. Vey different from E30's but very easy to work on and there is a lot of parts and 5x120 wheels out there.

                      Yeah, it isn't really the time that it would take to strip that would hold me back from completely parting it out. It is more of a space issue. Where I live I can't occupy our garage for an extended period of time at all. Also, I don't have anywhere to store a bunch of parts while I'm trying to get them sold. I can deal with the body stuff, the seats and other smaller random stuff, but not suspension stuff, engine, tranny etc. I have a complete 5 speed swap kit that I really didn't have room for, so I'm meeting someone tomorrow to sell it. I'm just going to get it in the garage, take what I want and have a scrapper come get it or sell it to a member. I don't want that process to take any longer than a weekend.

                      I also don't want to deal with selling that many parts here on the forum. The higher priced items I don't mind, but when I'm selling cheaper stuff like say my OBC/harness/turn signal stalk, I guarantee that people will try to nickel and dime the shit out of me. I'd much rather just have some more expensive stuff, set a firm price and sell it to the first person who wants it at my price.

                      So does anyone know of any e36's for sale? I always thought that there was a shit ton of e36 M's for sale at all times, and there are some but it seems that they are all either pieces of shit, or they are asking like 12K for a stock example in decent condition with like 150k. I would prefer to pay a little more for one that is in good condition and unmolested, but the ones I am seeing are nothing like the deals that I have seen a bunch of people get online.

                        Are you looking for a sedan or coupe?

                                Damn, I was ready to jump all over that until I saw that it has a rebuilt title... That might not bother me too much if it really hasn't been in an accident.

                                So school me on e36 M3's a little bit. It seems like that would be a good price for that car if it didn't have the rebuilt title. Is that right? Or if it had a clean title, should it go for more than $7500? I'm really just trying to get a feel for what is a fair price on these things.

                                I sent that guy an email. I'll actually be in Edgewood later today so it'd be nice if i could meet up with him to check out the car.

                                2 door, estoril/black, manual gearbox, lowish miles... it's basically exactly what I want.


                                BUUUUUTTTTT, rebuilt title + random check Engine light + Airbag light = suspicious. Wouldn't you just at least take care of a check engine light before selling a car?
