    2 E30 M3s in Corvallis - Anyone know the owners?

    Well I've been seeing this alpine white e30 m3 stock in Corvallis driven by middle aged woman(and her daughter?) few times now.

    I was trying to catch them but they were always in opposite direction and I usually have to run some errands.

    Does anybody know who is the owner? I don't think she is on r3v.



    I also saw what appears to be a lachsilber E30 M3 modified, tinted and lowered. I can't believe we have 3 M3 in a small town that I know of.

    I also noticed a bunch of E30 parked together in Witham hill area. I think they have 3 E30s and 2 E36.

    The lachsilber is a regular sight. Has a roof rack and gray rims correct? Spotted in shoreline, lynnwood, northgate, alderwood, etc.

    Owner has obvious taste, dont think he is on r3v though.

                    I've seen a white E30 M3 driven by a middle aged woman in Albany once or twice, could very well be the same one. There was a modified lachs with cardinal interior down there about 5 years ago but I'm almost positive that it was a students car and its probably not the same one you were seeing.

                      yup it's the same alpine m3. Every time I'm on the opposite side of the road I rolled down my window to see if I can make a contact. But she's always glued to the road.

                      Who knows...haha maybe she is thinking of selling it! Or trade maybe? If not just talking to her will surely make my day. I'm extremely curious on why she chose or how she get a hold of that car.

                        I have talked to the owners (husband and wife) a handful of times over the last few years and Every time i ask if they want to sell it. The first time i actually stopped by their house, knocked on their door and talked to the husband for about an hour. Another time i was with a friend of mine at a stop light and he offered to trade his 3 year old (at the time) TT for it and the wife just shook her head and took off lol.

                        I think that it is an 89? They bought it in 92, and they went through a hassle to get one at that time. He let his son drive it in high school until he jumped it into a field and blew out the shock mounts. It is mainly stock, and in pretty good original condition. Few scrapes and dings etc.

                          that's what I'm talking about....are you willing to pm me their contacts? Phone or anything?

                          I have a 6 sleeper rv that might sway their mind...if they don't want to sell who knows in the future.

                          car looks nice from a distance. I passed on an alpine m3 3 yrs ago and I'm still pinching myself for it. I kid you not it was only for 8.5k with cardinal interior that I abhor during that time but now I love it.

                            I saw two blond girls in their mid 20's or so driving a stock lachssilber E30 M3 on 7th street headed toward the 22 fwy in Long Beach, CA. Damn near sprained my neck. Weird thing is, it had old Blue cali plates that were only issued before 88. Must have been a vanity plate or something.
