Sammo 2544 Report post Posted October 17, 2021 (edited) I’ve decided to take the plunge and get into an E30 before the market gets even more silly. Ideally I want a clean, rust free FL 325i 2 door manual - original is nice, but not at all opposed to something 24v swapped. Looking to spend around $30k Edited November 5, 2021 by Sammo 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not actually opposed to a nice sedan, but dream is the 2 door / coupe so will hold out for now. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This 4 door is quite beautiful in itself with headers and a cam to boot. It goes very good. Someone will love it when I do sell it 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ghost Chip 188 Report post Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) @gjm If a sunroof sedan is in the mix surely a Baur can contend! If you’re going to let the sun in why not go all out without compromising rigidity?! Edited October 18, 2021 by Ghost Chip 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There has been a suggestion passed up the line (so to speak) - the potentially interested party needs reassuring that Baurs don't leak when it rains! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well it's an E30... If it was prone to leaking there would be nothing left by now! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus, it helps with aerodynamics. but good luck with your hunt, hopefully something comes up 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ghost Chip 188 Report post Posted November 13, 2021 “If you will purchase the vehicle “complete” - i would need time as I would like to keep a few items. Namely Carpet, Front Shock 51mm, Steering Wheel (negotiable), IS Lip Complete Vehicle with less items as above offers around $8500“ BYO carpet, shocks, and steering wheel it seems. “Minimal rust” but there’s quite significant bubbling by at least two areas around the sunroof. Random ? broken glass on the rear seat. Shift boot missing? Definitely needs to be sighted before buying. Low key, every time I see this thread have a new post, I’m excited as I think @Sammo has bought an E30. Can’t wait til you get one mate! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although do expect to be talking to someone about a 2 door in the next few days - maybe once we go to the traffic light system the listings will start falling from the skies 🤞 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
