The advert doesn’t mention the engine which you’d think would be a plus? Car was covered a few pages back, and was a bimmersport members car circa 2010.

E28E30 335 Report post Posted July 1, 2021 (edited) Ah thanks Harm… those bl^*dy battery boxes! Still such pretty cars, look amazing. I don’t personally like those wheels but it looks hunkered down and mean. Edited July 1, 2021 by E30 325i Rag-Top Picture quote Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E30 325i Rag-Top 2956 Report post Posted July 1, 2021 It was listed at $30k asking, as it went so quick you would think it was pretty close to asking. 1 hour ago, leichtbau said: I admire the hustle to finance a 30 year old car and then make $1K a month on it. Cost of finance is so low right now, and any savings are getting no return so not a lot to lose from that point. Good car to flip if you have the wherewithal to fix those rust spots and give it a tidy up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sammo 2544 Report post Posted July 2, 2021 Kind of surprised with that one TBH. I get paying top dollar for an immaculate Mtech but that seemed far too tired, flawed and modified to occupy that price range. Was the consensus that it was a Bone fide Tech2 or not? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's an 87 build, so literally the earliest facelift production - the 337 mtechnic option (which incorporates all the usual M325i fruit) may simply not have been available at the time.

E30 325i Rag-Top 2956 Report post Posted July 3, 2021 There was a period of production at the start of the facelift models where 337 M PACKET option was not available at the factory. I understand it was not until MY update at end of ‘88 build that it was re-introduced. 28 minutes ago, leichtbau said: If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck... Which begs the question, if I have a chicken and swap in a ducks body, ducks wings and a ducks head, have I still got a chicken or is it now a duck..? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E30 325i Rag-Top 2956 Report post Posted July 5, 2021 All this talk of curry and roti is making me very hungry.. I keep looking for a cheap(ish - it's all relative) E30 that is suitable for a quick tidy-up and flip, I've got a garage full of E30 parts that are all ready to be used, but I haven't seen anything hit the market that fits the bill. The possilby rusty Pre-FL 318 was as good candidate - but that sold before I could even call the guy, so there are obviously others out there doing the same. But then I already have two E30s in the garage needing time and attention, adding a third one is probably not the best idea for marital peace and harmony. If the E30 had a few more safety features it could possibly be suggested as an ideal first car for the kids, but I don't think that will fly without an airbag or traction control.. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
