E30 Zone

Couldn't post earlier but two members of the TG staff [not the presenters] visited my mates place last week and gave him £2k for a red e30 320 Baur.

Not bad considering he paid £170 for it without MOT/Tax!

They said it was for an upcoming show! Keep your eyes peeled

How does he know it was TG staff?

Nice profit there.

^ I'm assuming they provided I.D

They also sent him some TG goodies - TG Mug, T Shirt, TG Car Sticker etc

He rang me as soon as he picked it up as he bought it because he thought i might need some parts. He just bought another E30 320 a few days ago with change to spare!

What a mug, I take it he will be removing the engine?

''What a mug, I take it he will be removing the engine? ''

I'm sorry to hear about your mate's problems (getting £2k for a 320 baur he paid £170 for then spending the money on another 320). He must like mint - he's menthol.

I've got a Baur rear shelf with blower in the lockup, I'm going to email Top Gear now and tell them it's for sale. ....and I don't care if they don't read it!

Don't get your hopes up! I remember the kerfuffle on the Fiat Coupe forums when TG bought a Fiat Coupe. At last! the coupe was going to be elevated to classic status in some "Italian Sportscar under £3k" sort of deal.
It was highly gutting to see Clarkson weld scrap onto the wheels and drive it slowly on the "fast lap" then trash it...

Will be amusing to see how they destroy this one..

I'm asuming they are doing an 'ugly'car show at some point

Maybe the episode will be "Caravan II - revenge of the Shed Dragger" featuring topless cars being crushed to death under the hideous MDF and fibreglass monsters....

And then they could of spent the other 1900 quid on something nice

I bet on the show they will say they bought it for £400 or something like that....

at least they would have bought mine.

I reckon Ollie_Bwoi is going to be the first to cry when the shitty baur gets ruined.

Sweep stake?

Well my mate is a young guy - likes his civics polos etc. He buys non runners and gets em on road for some spare change. I doubt he would know the class of an E30 but his awareness is becoming apparent. He calls me and tells me how much he likes his new purchase! Will try and get some pictures later!

The baur isn't THAT bad to look at..is it? Unless my blood sugar is really out of control and my vision is being seriously impaired, i think it a good well cared example would be highly desired!

That isn't your average Baur and yes it is still ugly so get down the doctors/opticians surgery before your beyone help

LOL haha i get your point - a show car is a show car..

in todays times i guess you can't appreciate its 'style' - but 'back in the day' i bet a few would've given an arm and a leg for it!

but 'back in the day' i bet a few would've given an arm and a leg for it!

ye think those were the ones that gave their eyes for a mobile phone with battery pack.

Cue shouts from the audience suggesting TG would be better off with a 318iS...or more likely a 325i.

as said in a previous thread...... if they do destroy this one that we may have to delare war like the morris marina lot did...

no doubt if top geat have bought it it will be abused round a track, painted, and then destroyed!

great entertainment

Lets guess who will be the one driving it...
My money is on Hamster. Probably with "MAN LOVE RULES" painted down the side.

I won't cry, its a baur! And I love the cheap car challenges.

The TG team also contacted another member on here about his cabby, and said it was going to be used in a remote control car challenge. But then they contacted him again and said no worry we are sorted with another car.

Is it just the lighting or has that baur got m3 flared arches? I've got admit it does look a nice example

It's a proper (all be it facelift ) M3 Baur IIRC.
