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.

True, I was already assuming the worst with the s38 , definitely money to be made either way I think, or kept and appreciated as is for super cheap

I agree. Those motors are big money. I can say that after driving an S38 3.9L Dinan stroker E34 M5, I was left very unimpressed by those motors for the price tag.  

Here is a quick breakdown if you wanted to part it out....

• Motor; $3000-3500
• https://www.panjo.com/buy/bmw-s38-b36-m5-engine-and-transmission-20011
• Wheels; $1500-2000
• https://www.panjo.com/buy/bmw-m-system-ii-throwing-stars-17x82-17x92-staggard-rare-169957
• M-Sport/Technic mirrors; $400-500
• https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?1280558-For-Sale-OEM-M-Technic-e34-M5-mirrors
• M5 Lip kit $400-600
• M5 door sils $100
• M5 Motorsport Door handles $150-200

Rough high estimate on just those parts alone is $7000. 

Even after that you still have the suspension, interior, body panels, etc.... There is money to be made here..

That actually seems reasonable for a 95 Daytona Violet.  They only made Daytona on the e36 for 1 year which ads rarity, it's lower mileage that a lot of e36 M3's out there, the interior appears to be decent which is uncommon in an e36 and especially a dove grey interior and he says it has no rust.  All wins for an e36.
