_ethrty-Andy_ 2122 Report post Posted June 3, 2014 as much as i love my E30 cab, and an E30 M3 is not in the "if i get one" but "when i get one" basket, a convertible one is just no. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hybrid 1039 Report post Posted June 3, 2014 I'm sure it was for sale at Team BMW for more than that ( about 6-7 years ago ), a very buyer sensitive car. The guy who had it restored back to new condition fell on hard times and unfortunately it fell into holding companies arms. It then bounced around between various owners as the luster wore off with most car purchases. To a collector its probably worth around 60-70k .. but there are only a few in this country and even few that want a cab. So it falls into the default m3 sale prices. Even though its one of the best examples in the world. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B.M.W Ltd 950 Report post Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) It's one of three built to that spec that still survive. We worked on it last year for the previous owner, a very good friend of mine. He was a member here and has just recently passed away. I have quite a few pictures of it here at the time and few lucky people got to see it and under it Edited June 3, 2014 by B.M.W Ltd 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jpclarke89 20 Report post Posted June 5, 2014 Saw this US spec left hand drive e30 325i cab on the way home from work today. I don't know a lot about these, but surely there can't be many in NZ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tidy30 38 Report post Posted June 5, 2014 Oh hell yeah for cirrus cabs! Love it! However what a US one is doing here I won't understand. Can anyone let me know which ways the US specs are better than our ones? The US specs all have the super duper hideous bumpers their government enforced. I saw heaps in the states and just kept thinking how unfortunate they were and how lucky we were back home Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jpclarke89 20 Report post Posted June 5, 2014 Yeah bumpers are hideous. I'd only seen them in pictures before and when I actually saw it it took me a while to realise. At first I thought it was a piece of s*#&..... then I noticed 325i cab, then us spec and lefty, then I got excited haha Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
