Well done you, something quite cool about buying a car no-one knew was for sale. Look forward to the pics and as I'm really bored on a train having just dropped mine off at ARM Motorsport, here's one I made earlier......don't you just love that thin rear glass....!

Nice work OP!

Make sure you put some pics up.

If you want an inspection done and you can travel to SE England send me a PM. I use a specialist mechanic for my car who has helped me strip the entire car down and rebuild nearly every part. It's safe to say he knows them inside out!

Condition is everything if you are paying top money so apart from originality (which includes having all the documentation) check for signs of rust. Particularly below the windscreen corners by the scuttle vents, sills under the side skirts, floor pan around the driver and passenger footwells and rear panel - inner rear arches too. If you are going to jack the car up, only do it on the solid areas of the chassis - those square looking jacking points on the front driver and passenger floor pan areas are not to be used and to do so will cause huge amounts of damage. They were merely there to locate a dolley when the body was shunted around the factory and won't take the load of a full car.

Mechanically, everything can be rebuilt/repaired for sensible money providing the car is an original EVO2 - which in my opinion is the best E30 M3 variant, with the best factory engine.

I've had my E30 M3 215BHP since 1998 and I'm so glad I kept hold of it even when they slumped to £4k in the early 2000's..... :-)
Should have bought and filled a shed full of E30 M3's all variants at those prices.
Amazing really. Hindsight is often a beech.

Congrats on the purchase OP.
