E30 325i Rag-Top 2956 Report post Posted January 30, 2018 It's getting up there in terms of price for a non-limited edition E30 M3, but looks to be a very good, and sympathetic restoration. So, to the right buyer, with a little bit of negotiation that would be a reasonable buy in today's totally sky-high E30 M3 market. However, whether Jonny 4 stars from CHCH is a serious bidder, and can affort to go through with his bid on TradeMe may be another completely seperate conversation. My instincts would say, probably not! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ashmill 68 Report post Posted January 31, 2018 This was my car, i restored it and i put the tyres on it and they are not $50.00 tyres. Ron, not all good tyres are the expensive items you appear to like, there are some excellent tyres out there for very reasonable money. The car was never going to be driven hard or for that matter on a race track. The new owner wanted something reasonable for sedate driving because the car was going to be a garage queen. Alas he sold it to this crowd who are just trying to make a large profit for nothing. If i had kept the car it would now be wearing Bridgestones. It's an ok car but it's not 105k, maybe $70 to $75k and i believe the current bid is BS. 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are being very modest in your description of the car, it was an absolute gem when you had finished the restoration. Lets not go through another massive debate about tyres, save that for the wheels and tyres section please. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E30 325i Rag-Top 2956 Report post Posted February 1, 2018 1) nice car, is an E30 but not an M3 2) nice car, not an E30 but is M3 3) nice car, not an E30 but is M3. Equation is E30 + M3 = THE Holy Grail (for me anyways) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E30 325i Rag-Top 2956 Report post Posted February 1, 2018 True, I was being semi-realistic. i might manage to scrape together enough pennies to buy a genuine E30 M3 one day, but I doubt I would ever get near to having the money for a Sport Evo. Would almost be too scared to drive it if I did!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shuey did more kms in it last year than i did. The M5 is a brilliant car and just right for my stage of life. It is carting four of us to Leadfoot this weekend, something i wouldn't consider in the M3. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
