While I do not consider myself a BMW (I had to make an edit because I thought it was an E30) connoisseur, This seems oddly optimistic by the part of the seller.

But quick history: Mexico didn’t really get the E21, or the E30 because Mexico didn’t get BMW until 1994. You see, much like a creep waiting for a 17 year old to turn of age, BMW didn’t settle in Mexico until NAFTA was signed, and all the blue-balled enthusiast got were E36s and onwards.

Considering the speedo reads in kilometers, this is an honest to god Euro import and not a cheap “driven across the border and registered after the 25 year classic car exemption” car with the speedo in MILES.

!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! So I suppose that warrants some of its price.

But 61,000 dollars for an E21?

What, are you nuts?

I’d very much prefer buying !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and keep some change.

correct me if I’m wrong but I think that’s an e28, definitely not an e30

Ya think?!?

This price is ludicrous!

How is that dealer still in business?

It’s not an E30, though, but an E21. Not that that makes the price any better. A Schnitzer Turbo E21 is probably rare, but not $61000 rare, I think.

I don’t know enough about old bimmers to have the certainty that it is an E30 (The fascia certainly looks like the E28!) but the ad claims its a three series, and it has “323i” lettering stamped to the boot.

All it takes is one over-monied speculator. As you know, plenty of these in this new Belle Epoque (recall how the last one ended).

I think I might’ve been wrong with e28, just found this pic (via gis) linked to a ‘post a random pix of your e21' so I would say it’s an e21

Now I love the E21, having had one as my first BMW, and I’d love to get another one as a plaything (provided it has six cylinders this time). But unless it’s a rare, one-off Dietel 345i, a car I saw when I was a teenager (it was built at a shop near where I grew up), $61K is a ridiculous price for an E21 that isn’t a racing car with a pedigree like this one:
