Hey Bimmer Loyalist, you reckon it's still possible to get an E30 M3 EVO II these days? I seriously am going to start saving for this for when I get out of college. Definitely one of my favorite cars.
Good luck Doug. I just did an ebay search...yielded nothing. It gets harder with every passing year.

Yeah, I tried AutoTrader with no luck. Thanks for searching. The fact that it gets harder every year kills me . I feel like I was born at absolutely the wrong time, lol. I missed the E30 M3, E36 M3, E46 M3 (kind of), the Supra, RX-7, etc, etc.

Haha, sometimes I feel like that too, but then I consider that cars have improved dramatically over time, and I'm glad that I don't see 90's Ford SUVs or Toyota soap bar econoboxes everywhere. The 80's-90's was a mixed bag: you had some true classics, but then it was also the peak of absolute blandness in certain cases.

Ideally, source the near classic of your dreams before it becomes a classic and the price goes through the roof. Anything from the mid 90s strike your fancy?

Older, pristine cars like E30 M3s would be a complete joy to own and operate. Even if many bland cars of today can equal it in what the public perceives as "performance," few can match its emotional appeal and actual well balanced performance. Plus it's just cool to have something old and pristine that you rarely see...especially when it's rolling art like the E30 M3.

I had and still have the feeling that my Z4 M will be a car that in 20 years has a similar appeal as the E30 M3 does today. By then many if not most will remember the car wasn't the best seller, but was the last car to use the highly respected S54 motor, has classic sports car proportions, and is very fun to drive. Fact is there will be very few around in 20 years as there are few today compared to current MY BMWs. The slow sales of today will work in its favor way down the road.

If you ever wanted a E46 M3, prices are falling and there are still many around that are barely used. It's also destined to be a classic and it still defines the industry standard sports coupe, 3 model years after ending production.

I remember seeing a white E30 M3 with like 500 miles on the clock going for 60K or something. It was in PRISTINE condition because the owner kept it in a bubble.
