Seriously testing the water!

Is this modified M3 really worth that much more than an unmodified one?

I love all the hyperbole...

To some people perhaps it is worth more.

Not to me though, sorry.

£35K? Bwaaa ha ha.

[Jasandjules]

Well, perhaps someone will buy it. But I doubt it.

A 20 year old BMW is a 20 year old BMW.

I like that but I certainly wouldn't pay that much for it.

Lot better cars out there for 35k.

I see the guy referenced the paint. It IS a BMW blue. But despite his protestations. The car never left Munich in that colour. So it's a respray. A good one (if you like weird colours) but not original. The "BMW individual" customising plan was not even around when that car was made in 87.

Good E30 M3's are starting to fetch a premium of course, and if it was the ORIGNAL colour, and had FSH he may be looking at £15-20K for it.

Proof positive there's one born every minute. The seller, in this case.

The paint's going to get fked anyway, once you start ripping it round a track twice a month.

I there anyone else here that wouldn't consider paying £35k for a car they weren't allowed to test drive first? Just me?

Madness.

Not just you.

For 35k my mind immediately thinks there is a DB7 Volante out there with my name on it....

[Superhoop]

If you really want a modified E30 M3, surely 12k on this would be money better spent

Although TBH, I'd rather have a standard car

Not really IMO. If you want a 3.2 M3. Just buy the E36 version. It'll be cheaper too, and less rusty, and more reliable.

I could live with that, I've always wanted an Aston...

Ah......good old 'Slades'.


That's a couple doors down from where I live. Always a nice selection in there.

NO TEST DRIVES ALLOWED THANK YOU

Who the hell is going to spend £35k on a 23 year old car that they're not even allowed to test drive???

Madness, absolute madness.

[Thorny]

I love the way he says 'No introduction needed' and then spends the rest of the ad introducing it!

I think that is more to deter scallies looking to just test drive the car.... But no way in hell would I spend £15k let alone 35k on a 23 year old car in spastic chariot blue

So he's taken an E30 M3 and replaced or modified all of the bits (suspension & engine in particular) that make that M3 so special and sought-after IN ORIGINAL FORM!!! And now he wants silly money for it?!?


What a fking moron!

When the former supercar club Group20 was formed the owner bought a 600K orange Pagani Zonda, he was not allowed a test drive either

He probably got a warranty though.
