buy an e30 m3?

[m4xos]

i have just been offered a black e30 m3, g reg 1990, its done 102k miles, the condition of it is super mint!! garaged its whole life!
It is number 48 out of the 50 made RIGHT hand drive which is right up my street!
what do you zoners think its worth? or what would you expect to pay for a beauty like this?

[Bob_S]

the e30 m3 was never made in rhd format

[m4xos]

50 made

[Bob_S]

fuck off dreamer, LHD only, you've been fed bullshit and now spouting it

[m4xos]

well ur just a polish c**t!! do one,

[Bob_S]

A polish cunt with a proper M3, now you do one

[m4xos]

proper m3 here mate, looking at the pics i took earlier as we speak, just dont wana post pics up and i dont want anyway else getting there beedy eyes onit!

[Cook318IS]

It will have to be a converted m3 to be RHD, as already pointed out - they were all LHD

[Bob_S]

yes you know best, you are the e30 m3 guru

[harry_p]

there are no factory built rhd e30 m3s. EVER.

there were a few semi official CONVERSIONS done buy bmw dealers to brand new cars which were then supplied to the customer rhd, but there were never any actual official lhd cars, uk or anywhere else in the world.

a proper proper mint, decent spec e30 m3 is worth £12k + all day long. special ones and tiny mileage collectors items are going for £20k +

[m4xos]

got a plaque inside the car and certificate, with no. 48 out of 50 made....
got all the info from the 1 owner early 60's bloke

Possibly converted by Birds. The 48/50 claim needs to be proven though.

If I were ever in the market for an M3 - which is highly unlikely - it would have to be RHD and properly converted. I don't care what the purists think.

[harry_p]

it might be one of a run of 50 rhd converted e30 m3s, but it isnt an official rhd e30 m3.

cheers harry, you have explained it better than i could....

"there were a few semi official CONVERSIONS done buy bmw dealers to brand new cars which were then supplied to the customer rhd"
this is 1 of 50 done

[Jhonno]

There is NO SUCH THING AS A FACTORY RHD M3.. Only converted ones

[m4xos]

so now weve all sorted this out.

its one of a run of 50 rhd converted e30 m3s, no. 48....

how much is it worth? with 102k miles 1 owner??

[Jhonno]

I wouldn't even believe the run of 50 thing either... It is a RHD M3..

Worth less than a LHD one of same spec..

[m4xos]

and whats a lhd worth with the same spec?

[iisback]

If it was LHD then it would be worth about £11/12k. Thats ofcourse if its in really good condition.
Seeing as its RHD, max. would be £9.5k.

[StuBeeDoo]

m4xos never said it's factory. What he posted was....

It is number 48 out of the 50 made RIGHT hand drive

"made RHD" could be construed as "converted".
I, for one, didn't read his post as implying it's a factory RHD.

[Rodderz]

I would only want a RHD also!

[Bob_S]

I really don't see why people get so het up about LHD rightness?

[madaboutthe30]

Max sounds like a good one. Never pass a chance on an M3!

[Chris-W]

well ur just a polish c**t!! do one,

I suggest you re-think your words when posting on this forum.

[madaboutthe30]

I wouldnt mind a lhd, apparently it doesnt take long to get use to either.

[StuBeeDoo]

If I were ever in the market for an M3 - which is highly unlikely - it would have to be RHD and properly converted. I don't care what the purists think.

....And I'd happily pay a premium for a properly converted one, if I wanted one.
I don't hold with the "conversion devalues it" train of thought. If someone wants the car badly enough and it has been done 100% properly they will pay proper money for it.

[StuBeeDoo]

Think about it....
All E30s - come to that all BMWs - that are RHD are just LHD cars that have been "converted". They were designed as LHD, weren't they???

[pony2]

I'm just getting used to LHD it is a real novelty as far as I'm concerned. I had my doubts but it is rewarding learning to drive on the left and use a dog leg box.

[E30ToRing]

A delicate subject, and there has been much debate on the 'worth' of e30 M3s. I would say pay what you feel it's worth to you. If you want to benchmark it to market values, trawl the classifieds, such as Pistonheads. There appears to be a deeper market in LHD ones as they appeal to the continental buyers with their currently stronger Euros, as well as purists everywhere. I would guess that a RHD would sell for less than its LHD equivalent.

[madaboutthe30]

The lhd ones perhaps would be more in terms of price as they appeal more to the purists as original examples.

sorry chris-w, i have never had any trouble with any e30zoners but when it come to BOB-S, he's just in another league!!

suggesst you should try and ban him from writin on my posts or somehow caus everything he says, hes done it and hes got better!!
sorry for the bad language but he winds me up big time! its only him i have issues with and cant wait to meet him!!

as for the other comments, thankyou very much!! i didnt intend it to sound like its made straight from the factory.. you all know what i mean now!

[Bob_S]

What, you're going to threaten me with the following statement too..

"see you at the pod"?

Have the 10 other members ever met me? I think not

Regardless of your apparent feelings towards him, I'd say your comment - based around his being Polish - was un-warranted.

I happen to know Rob reasonably well, but that's by-the-by. In fact if he steps out of line in the way you just have he'll be treated the same way - ie. do it again and you may consider your use of the forum over.

[m4xos]
