my friend's brother asked me to post this. He's got a 1988 E30 M3 with 127K miles. White, BBS wheels, Stereo system, etc. I'll get more details from him later. But he's in SoCal and needs the money to buy a wedding ring.

He's open to serious offers. contact Kenny at b02o@yahoo.com. but anyways.. onto the pics.






















Year: 1988 VIN: WBSAK0309J2197713
Make: BMW
Model & Trim: 3-series M3 Condition: Used
Body: Coupe Title: Clean
Engine: Stock 2.4 high rev, inline 4 Exterior: White
Cylinders: 4 Interior: black leather

Transmission: Manual - 5-SPEED MANUAL 1988 BMW M3 5 speed manual, fully loaded, w/ Alpine 6 disk CD changer, nice stereo system includes 2 amps and 2 10" subs..
latest modifications: cross drilled brake rotors, brakes have been changed, w/ stainless steel brake line differential has been changed, due to making a high pitch noise last major tune up was last year, changing all the hoses, and a new coolant tank, so AC is really cold eibach strings and bilstein shocks, shocks are less then 3 yrs old front 2 tires are new, also the clutch has been changed a year ago, due to the short shift before has wore out

i'm the second owner, and this car is really one of a kind! one of my precious toys! just don't have time for it, and don't want it to be sitting in the backyard

So i'm willing to hand it over to someone that is in love w/ BMW's or has time to take care of it.

its pretty haggard. hope shes not expecting many diamonds

What's with the AC Schnitzer badge? And, yeah, it certainly looks like its been around the world a few times.

$8000?

id give him 2000.


1000 for the engine which im sure needs a rebuild, and another grand for the body which looks like its been fucked by a bear.

all the leather looks like its turned to parchment aswell.

I lol'd

Being on the lookout for an E30 325i myself, I know what these babies are worth. I see a few things wrong with it but nothing major, I don't see any rust in any of the pics which is a plus but then again there aren't any pics of the underside. People into Ms would frown upon the aftermarket steering wheel and shift knob. In its condition I would tell Alto to suck himself off and not take anything less than 10K.



EDIT: Damn women, have a nice car to impress her with and get her on the hook, when you bag her the first thing to go is the car.

E30 M3 > Marriage

The E30 might just last longer.

will he trade for an immaculate GTI VR6?

i just added more info. and i think he's looking for cash. but.. damn.. he's asking way too much for it. oh well.. good luck. all i can do is spread the word.

Hex should be all over this.

whats his ridic price?

he posted it on Craigslist. $16k. way too much imho.. but i guess he's shooting for the moon.

ahahaha

What, is $15k of that just the AC Schnitzer badge?

do i get to sleep with his fiance for that price?

well.. be nice. shoot him a serious offer if anyone is interested. just tell him what you'd pay. i'm sure he'd rather have offers (even lowball) then none.

hex will probably buy his wheels.

I want it! I tried to get an e30 when I was a senior in high school but I just couldn't work it out. Will he trade it for a cobalt? Only 23k miles. If not i'll add a poorly written poem to the offer

I wouldn't give him that much for it judging by the pictures and the price for similar cars used I wouldn't give him more than 9 grand for it. If i had 9 grand. Aftermarket parts do not add to the value of a used car.

There are mother-fuckin days I would take an E30 M3 over a wife.

It's a nice car, but I suspect he'll have a hard time selling it since only someone in the know is going to see anything but a tired BMW. If I were single I would throw $10,000CAD at him, but considering he's asking the same as a pretty OK Porsche 964, or even a decent 2.5L 986 Boxster...sheesh.

Nobody in their right mind would buy this.

It looks like a perfect candidate for a rally car. I love the E30's as much as anyone on this board. but I dont see him getting a dime past 6 or 7 for it. my buddy had one that was caged and lovingly treated and I think he got 10 for it.

Still, in about 3-5 years after hes hoping shes a part of his past, he'll wish he had kept the car.

Fixed:




I've seen a few e30 M3s for sale in the past few months- and from what I've gathered- this car would fetch about 7-10k, not much more. At 16k, he can only dream.

Is the car on s14.net?

I think I'd rather spend a bit extra and get this.

BMW M3

Update: My friend just told me he sold it for $12K cash.

If he's telling the truth, he must have explained his situation to some rich guy... if I was loaded and he told me that he was selling the car for that reason, I'd have helped him that way.

the guy he sold it to already had 2 other M3's. so i guess this one completes his collection.

Ha ha, told you guys it would go for over 10k.
