So you thought an E30 M3 in really good condition was expensive, well you need to see !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Originally posted on Ebay, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! aggregates listings from different partners like Ebay, this owner is asking for $62,000 for this extremely rare E30.
According to the owner he had some trouble with entering the VIN in Ebay because the Alpina VINs don't exist in Ebay's VIN database. However, he does say he has the documentation to prove the authenticity of the car.
Lets talk about the goodies the car has. It has an Alpina 3.5 liter inline six engine with 261 horsepower, which is 93 more than stock. It cranks out as much power as the E28 M5, except you can enjoy most of the power in the mid-range, 2000-5000 rpms, which sounds pretty awesome.
Overall, I personally couldn't afford to spend $60k on an E30, let a lone one that isn't a M3, but for the BMW connoisseur or collector with deep pockets this seems like a once in a lifetime opportunity.

The owner is trying to flip this. It was purchased last year and imported to the US just to be the only one here to increase valve. It last failed to sell on eBay after 25 bids got it up to $30,001 last October. It's not worth $60,000. The #009 B6 3.5S (M3 chassis) was up for sale in 2011 for the equivalent of $51,000, so I don't think this non-M3 version is worth more, especially if private-selling versions in Europe are going for $40,000. The seller is asking for a premium because they imported it and because it's the only one in the US. For less you can find one and import it yourself.

Very good points. I'm not familiar with this market at all. Even if I had the money I don't think I could pull the trigger on this. I'd rather hunt down an E30 M3 Evo, or one with Evo parts.
