Mix together with a white e30 for ultimate 80's street cred. Bonus points if you paint the trim, bumpers and grilles white too like that e21 that's been floating around for a decade.

Too many unique things here: turbo diesel, roof windows, lifted, tiny van thing (and it's a manual). I love it, and yet have no desire to buy/own it.

my sister has a 5 speed 80s toyota vanwagon. similar, but not as decked. pretty hilarious to drive with the super tippy feel, engine vibrating under your ass, and super clear view of the road ahead of you.

I agree, but they are only going up in price, now is a better time to buy before they are unubtainium in a few years.

Low mileage e30 1991 318is in MI, rust free that could use a little bit of work. Best case re the M42 engine noise is that just needs a new timing belt tensioner

Seems like a good deal, but seeing there is not a met reserve and its has a few days remaining tells me its going to go up, or not sell. 

How about an over priced early model instead? LOL

The title is a bit ambiguous, it's a Euro bumper swapped 524td. 
She was diesel her whole life, it's a US spec motor, and there are a few other clues that make me assume it's never been meddled with. 

That being said, 524td's don't come up for sale often. Especially if this a**hat I know keeps buying them and harvesting their internal organs...

After selling mine for what turned out to be less than I should've (I got asking price in less than 48 hours), I think that's actually not an unreasonable price. Mine was (arguably) a more desirable color combo and had a lot of recent maintenance, but it also had 40k more miles and some rust in a few places. With the current ad and pictures they will be hard pressed to get 9.5k, but with a more descriptive ad and better pictures I bet they could get that asking price without much difficulty.

Passing along the deal that @Jdesign passed to me, I can't logistically make it work and it would cost me too much to transport and store the car from Decorah, IA

1993 M5, guy is willing to sell for $4000 obo, @Jdesign had him at $3500 and maybe he'd take less. Heres what I have gathered from chatting with the guy

• Has rusty jack points but little to no body rust, paint looks decent (big dent on door)
• Has spark but no fuel (just replaced fuel pump)
• potentially a blown head gasket (because the oil looks murky to him)
• Has motorsport door handles, rare M-technic mirrors,  M5 throwing stars
• Has been sitting in a dry garage for awhile 

Car is complete. My thought was this is easily a $6500-7000 part out. Would love to see someone here get a deal. Pretty sure just the mirrors, bumpers, door handles and wheels would fetch $3000 rather quickly. 

Edit: I ended up buying it

Damn. Forward me some stuff. I wonder if an e34 partout would be better then a crashed m3. Or both. Hmmmm.

The M5 will get you way more no doubt. The prices are hyper inflated and everything is NLA. No doubt there is $6000 easy in parts

[Jdesign]

It’s pretty far away and is one of those all in, or all out situations. You could make some easy money on it, but it’s hard to part out a car that could be fixed and made drivable fairly easy.
