That's some good info about the 318iS Alex. :) If I was going to buy an E30 right now, it'd probably be a 318iS. And since we are all correcting ourselves and hopefully we're done trolling (I apologize if my comments seemed like trolling), Nando stated the production figures for the 'iX here, "6,346 were sent to North America (including Canada)." So there very well could be less of those in the US than M3's. I wonder how many of those remain. I know quite a few have been wrecked and/or parted out as well.

To put things into perspective here are some numbers...
Global:
318i 1987–1991 89,637
318is 1989–1991 41,234
320is (2-door) 1988–1990 2,542
320is (4-door) 1987–1990 1,206
325i (2-door) 1985–1991 113,906
325i (4-door) 1985–1991 83,080
325ic 1985–1993 85,246
325ix 1985–1991 29,589
325e (2-door) 1983–1988 114,498
325e (4-door) 1983–1988 74,789
M3 1986–1991 17,184
TOTAL E30 PRODUCTION: 2,339,250 (1982-1/1994)* (that's a lot of E30's)
*Includes all E30 models, including such models as the 316i, 320i, 323i, and Touring that were never imported into the United States
Imported to the US...
M3 5,300 out of 17,184
325iX 6,346? out of 29,589 (per Nando)
318iS 9,000 or 15,000? out of 41,234 (can someone verify?)

I think a considerable amount of the dents can be pulled out by a paintless dent removal body guy.Last edited by GT BMW E30; 01-27-2015, 07:38 PM.

For the rest of you: about 44k Lancia Delta Integrales were produced. That is a homologated race car just like the M3, but with a less impressive (but still awe-inspiring) race history. Special Edition cars bring in ~$150k. I'm very confident the M3 will hit or exceed that in the future for the EVO edition cars, and definitely $60k+ for mint US spec carsDrive it hard. Maintain it well.

Will?
They already have... I'm not just referring to Enthusiast Auto Group either.
Sport Evo's sell for $130k+ in Europe, US Spec cars are well over $60k for sub 20k mile examples.Below the radar...
