S42's are incredible

[patsbimmer1]

European Super Touring in the 90's was nuts!  It's probably one of my favorite racing era's!

This seems expensive for an auto E30, no?

I didnt know about the S42 either. One of those in an E30 would be glorious.

"The S42 engine was a 2.0L touring car engine with a 86.5mm bore and around a 85mm stroke, which shared the same block as the street going M42. Unlike the common M42, the S42 had a more sophisticated engine management system, and had individual throttle bodies. The S42 unfortunately did not share the same valvetrain as the M42, and is a solid lifter valvetrain (possibily from the S50Euro) fully capable of over 9000rpm, but was limited to a 8500rpm redline, as dictated by touring car rules. It was mounted upright in the bay, not slanted, and ran on a full dry sump oiling system. The pistons had a static compression ratio of around 12:1, and running on pump gas, the S42 made around 280hp (and up to around 310hp later in it's life). "

"The car...has been my most reliable vehicle through the years when considering how infrequently I use it."

Its a cool car, but 30k seems pretty high up there to me

[HipMF]

so 90's the license plate should say "URMOM"

[YoungCR]

I like that color, good price too

Its actual not far off.... Most of those M6 or M635's sell for 25-30K and that one has pretty low miles and is well documented.

Sick color. I really want one of these now and that seems like a good price given the mileage. 

Might see what I can get for bites on the F30

Didn't know they were pulling that much, good to know!

$0-20k is mostly non-M cars

$20k+ is M cars or specialty models (alpina/dinan turbo, Etc.)

$8700 for a 121k mile M3 with a incomplete supercharger kit... Looks familiar @Rekpoint wasn't this on facebook for like 5.5k

Little bit of rust for $7700... I could probably fist his jack points

[wasnt m3]

Last time it was posted was for $5kobo. That car has been around for a while and the PO drove it on a completely nonfunctional supercharger for a year or more. I've seen it in person and it is ROUGH.

An "active". It has all of the usual issues right off the bat so you won't have them sneak up on you after driving it for a while lol

First, he likes Honda's so there's that explanation.

That 6'er is very close to me if anyone want some eyes on it.
