A black over black E30 325i sedan with a manual and only 77k on it for 2500?!

Only two and a half hours away in the middle of nowhere Illinois. No big deal right?

Me having $2500 to buy it would help though. Fuck.

Chances are 100 : 1 the odometer is broken. Very common E30 issue.

What happened to this desire for something reliable and practical?

Cheap 80s German sports sedans with three pedals.

I’m not very good at learning lessons.

True...

Still, pretty clean, manual E30 without the economy motor.

sketchy dealer is sketchy. But if they take even less, that’s an awesome deal...it looks like it’s done a lot of sitting though, there will definitely be things that need addressing

It does look overwhelmingly decent, I’ve never been able to get over the non-sport interiors though.

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > Logansteno: Bought a VW?

Tell them you’ll take it if they trow in the Corvair.

Nothing I’m not used to with ze M3. Just even less complex (I think)

e30's are fairly reliable little cars. Not much on them to break anyway, and having a manual removes the one big failure point already.

Way less complex, and the M20 + G260 is a truly lovely combo. My friends pretty rough 325i vert is one of my very favourite cars to drive.

Meaning different seats, aaaaaand...?

If you want a black/tan 325i stick 2dr i will sell you mine for that price. Odometer stopped at 135k but I bet that one has similar mileage.

Seats and steering wheel, but the seats are my main point of contention. Also, you might want to offer Logansteno the car, haha.

Er shit, I don’t know how to reply. whoops.

Ah yeah missed the steering wheel too. My previous owner put in cloth sport seats, if I could get them heated they would be the best seats...in the world. Also I need to find a better steering wheel, the original bmw 4 spoke airbig wheel is the worst ever

I’ve owned 3 e30s. 1 got hit by Jeep Cherokee and the other 2 were sold. The way the e30 market has been $2500 is a NP for this. If you want an e30 and you're in the area, see if you can scrounge the money together. It's totally worth it. One day I will own another.

Considering we could not sell a super clean 90 325i just like that one with 116k. Its an alright deal. Nothing special. E30 prices have tanked in the last 6 months.

Ok, so where do you live? It’s not too far away from me, either. Only like 1+1/2 hours away. And it’s snowing like crazy.
