What is market price for E30?

[vin]

hi estacado,

just speaking from my experience, if you wanna buy an e30, buy one of the latest models which are in good shape to avoid additional body work. I have a 1984 model and spent a few grand on the body itself due to rust and badly corroded metal. It didn't look like much at the beginning but once the engine was taken out, there was more damage than what was expected. There's always a chance that you would want to upgrade the performance of the car, possibly an engine transplant in the future, so starting off with a good base makes for less issues and problems in the future. Just something to think about....cheers

dear sifus,
what year model of E30 is worth considering to buy? i m in search of one for myself but not wanting to suck into it immediately without enough know how. furthermore, i'm totally noob about cars. what more a particular brand like BMW.
any particular nitty gritty thing that i should look out for when differentiating two make.

I already PM you regarding this...not interested arrr?

 

[estacado]

Agree with vin, start off with a good base is important.. but if an E30 cost more than RM20k, people will of course explore E36 lio. Much bigger car I must say, and its even bigger than the E46.

Buying an E30 is as good as paying cash because can hardly get low interest loan. Meaning, no need to budget for monthly installment lor.. just budget for maintenance, kao tim! hahahahaaaaaaa..

I don't know how many E30 is still in mint condition chassis that can still take the over 200kph bashing.. u will have better luck with an E36..

180-200 is no drama in the E30, at least in mine... Still pretty planted up to 220.. But then again, i've done some work on the suspension and chassis..

CTR is 2.0 220bhp lah.... that one only pussy's monster can play...

Forgot to mention 220kph in my E30 is going slightly downhill.
Flat road can reach speedo-indicated 210kph...
