DanG · 07-13-2020, 05:36 PM

A BMW I would love to own but too expensive for me. I hope some museum buys it.

roadsidegeek · 07-13-2020, 10:04 PM

Marvelous but the pricing is overwhelming.

F30lolz · 07-13-2020, 11:53 PM

EAG sold a low mileage one similar to this for $199k. I remember when these could be had for $7k back in 2004!

I hear ya, I payed 13k CAD for mine in 2005. Sold for almost 4x that a couple years back. MUCH higher mileage.

I would honestly be afraid to drive this, and insuring it would be pricey with a declared value policy up here.

PYE46M3 · 07-14-2020, 01:42 AM

this car will go for 200-300k.

stein_325i · 07-14-2020, 09:43 AM

A classic, icon, definitive moment, game-changer, so many words to describe how excellent this car was.

IB M · 07-14-2020, 09:52 AM

Very cool car - won't get driven much any more but I'd love to see it at a show someday.

That's sad in a way.

E30 Racer · 07-14-2020, 10:11 AM

Wonder what a 5.5k mile 325is would bring?

forza1976 · 07-14-2020, 10:12 AM

Incredible!

19x · 07-14-2020, 10:23 AM

I love how simple these cars were back in the day. Just look at the undercarriage. Simple diff, a control arm here and there, small exhaust, etc. Wonderful. Less is always more.

euro* · 07-14-2020, 10:24 AM

I will not forget that time in 2012, when there was a local E30 M3 that was not selling for $20k for the longest time. Then I met the owner at the local car show and he was begging me to take it for $17k and I passed it on.... next year the values exploded.

I regret not buying that car

Thought you were more a Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16 guy, aka rival.

I actually didn't get into Mercedes until my CLS, so only close to two years. Before that I always liked AMG, but BMW will always be my first love, just right now we're in a bit of a separation phase

i'm actually trying to find an older Z4 M at the moment to bring back the love.

Miko M · 07-14-2020, 10:41 AM

The color

Good old days

Plenty of love just not plenty of cash

Those things are going for insane amounts of money! Also I miss my convertibles. With the Z4 I still get a lighter curb weight with a high revving engine and hydraulic steering but not as expensive as a clownshoe or E46. Gotta have cash left on the side for repairs after all

AUSf22 · 07-14-2020, 10:59 AM

Oh my lord, they have been increasing in price!

There's only 3 for sale in AU and they are priced from 80,000 to 100,000 atm here.

RyanBMW · 07-14-2020, 11:15 AM

Uh..No, I have that kind of money but I ain't gona spend it like that. As much as I love the E30, but still a no. Mic drop!!
