The post I thought I’d never be making,
I’m considering parting with my M3. My projects are all taking years longer than expected and have no idea when I’ll get around to it, I’ve seen something else Ive wanted for year which is much closer to being roadworthy and selling the e30 is the only way it can work at the moment 🥲
This should be considered a ‘Barn Find’ it has been off the road for approx 15 years, it has rust in all the usual e30 places. Scuttle, under the fuse box, inner wings, possibly bulkhead. Plus the scabs and bubbles you would expect from being sat so long
But, it’s a complete, genuine e30 m3. 1989 German import. Zinnobar red, black leather, non sunroof. Premium audio speakers, rear blind, 6 button obc, originally had ac with climatronic heating. Ac compressor and engine bay pipework currently removed.
Was a 195bhp cat car, but has supersprint decat exhaust with x-pipe and made 204bhp when tested many moons ago. Wears 4 genuine m3 evo 16” wheels, the spare is an original 15” has an evo airbox, uncracked black dash myech 1 steering wheel. From memory it’s on Bilstein dampers and eibach springs. Eibach strut brace, powerflex poly front arm and rear subframe bushes.
Last run about a year ago, fuel pump was making some odd noises and by now will need the tank draining and fresh fuel which I’d like to do if I get a chance.
I’ll be honest, I don’t want to sell it, I DO know what I’ve got. No stupid £10k offers, and don’t expect to jump in and drive it home. Where would you value it? I’ve got a figure in my head where things get interesting.
Cheapest complete roadworthy car I can find at the moment is €63,000 in Ireland.
