I want an E30

I'm thinking about getting an E30 for a weekend/ commuter car for school while I'm in school in NYC..... My e90 is back at home in Washington and bringing that here is not an option. What do you guys think? Would I be able to pick one up for under 3k? It's either that or a bike, maybe a Ducati Monster, although its more than 3k, I've always wanted one... its either that or a used R6

hahaha! I envy those with it... its such a classic, I love it.. 2dr or 4dr... I'm kinda thinking it might be a PITA taking care of it in the city but if I move to Brooklyn like planned, I dont think it should be too big an issue... I wouldnt mind a e36 M3 either, but those are pricey..

I found this one on craigslist but the color is how much does it cost to paint your car matte black?

It was a true-cult-classic car and I still miss it very much. Handled so well and was so tossable. And it was a coupe! :-)
haha nice.. I dont mind it being either coupe or sedan but I'd prefer it to be a 5spd

If you look you can find them around... gems pop up time to time. I wouldn't mind having an 2002... those are great too. But the e30 in my book was the best BMW yet.
I'm trying to find a 1989 e30 325i 2dr/4dr <200k miles for around 3k? + or - 500

I wouldn't offer more than 3K for this one.
haha, I sent him an email asking for better pictures, info on the car (history), millage, and price

My uncle has an E30 325e for sale at $500.00. However, the engine cranks but has a no start condition and he has no time to fix it.

If anyone is interested please PM me.

I've started selling mine twice without having the nuts to actually sell it. I'm afraid once I do I can never get it back. I'll probably be thinking about it again in a few months though...

I'll do that.

I'm looking at getting into a new CTS. I'd like to keep the E30 as well but it may be better to sell. Only thing is there are a number of thousands of dollars into this car and I don't want to sell for much of a loss. Only 145k on original M42 engine, 100% fully brand new brakes, suspension, and HID lighting.
