Classic Car Magazine is about the only people that seem to know, even the AA couldn't tell me! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiwi535 538 Report post Posted September 4, 2014 i think the 20 yr comes from the twenty year rule to import cars that dont fulfil frontal impact rules etc.That e34 in the first post is nothing special imho low miles tho."special e34" are 535is,540is or M5.I do like my E34s tho.

Herbmiester 923 Report post Posted September 7, 2014 A classic is determined by time, be it 20 years 30 I don't actually know the the time frame, but a car that has as good a chassis as the E36 and has very nice lines especially in Coupe form will be a classic in my books. Its like XA and XB falcons, when I grew up they were a dime a dozen , now even a stock 6 cyl gets mega attention on Tard Me. In 10 years time Decent E36's will be hard to find, same with any car as it ages, more break down and end up around power poles. Just my .02, but I'm buying now before they really start climbing off the bottom of their depreciation curve I personally don't think good examples will get any cheaper.

Herbmiester 923 Report post Posted September 7, 2014 I have looked at both on Tard Me and I saw yours up close KwS, very nice indeed. Still as a small business owner I have to plow my cash back into buying stock at present. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Naa i was too lazy to look, so was going buy sight unseen, but wouldn't have paid much more for it anyway due to not seeing it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
