Hasn't this just sold for the asking price?

Post Tue Oct 21, 2014 8:59 pm

I see it came from Chandlers the same place as my E30. Im sure this has just sold yes.

This is originally BMW L&C Tunbridge Wells (as is mine)

I thought your e30 was Park Lane supplied, or am I getting mixed up?

The E46 M3 CS is originally from BMW Park Lane

However, I have bought a lot of parts for the E30 from BMW Park Lane Classic several £000s worth

Ok mate, cool. My grey and black tech1s are Park Lane cars.

Seriously I think you should have sold some of your E30s and bought the £20k Sport as a museum piece / Sunday driver / road trips and keep one of your E30s to drift / cane / rag everywhere

That way you got the best of both worlds. A super nice example to cherish admire take to shows, concours etc. And an example to really get the buzz from driving ie drifting , caning, blipping it everywhere etc

See the other thread.

Won't be long before we see E30 325i Sport sell for £30k
Being helped by E30 M3 prices and the next best thing is the Sport
Also Sport is cult classic in UK
Renewed interest in all 80s cult / classics / greats
Of course there is some overlap with E30 M3 market

Post Mon Oct 27, 2014 12:12 am

The sport is not the next best thing to an M3, what about all the alpina and hartge variations? And I think the e30 in general is a cult classic no just the sport

Post Mon Oct 27, 2014 8:43 am

Despite all that this one is unorecedented and overpriced.

The buyer has made a boo-boo when you consider a very good M3 could have been had for that money.

Where is this very good M3 for 20 bags?

Post Mon Oct 27, 2014 10:00 am

Very good, not excellent

Post Mon Oct 27, 2014 11:19 am

I too thought the £20k sport was overpriced, by about £5k IMO but more than on person was willing to pay £20k for it and as they say "something is only worth what someone is willing to pay". Ergo it was worth £20k

You will struggle to get a very good E30 M3 for £20k!

Most are rubbish at the £15-20k mark and you really need to be spending £25k+ to get something decent and even then its still a minefield.

In the UK, the sport has a cult following where E30's in general have a World wide classic appeal with the M3 being a Motorsport icon.

Black tech2 sport

I was referring to the products within the BMW E30 range offered directly from
BMW and ignoring any tuner specials of which Alpina, Hartge are very few and far between.

When I was growing up (in my childhood) the Sport was the E30 to have. In the 1990s I saw lots of them slammed, tinted, with council exhausts and big stereos. In the 80s not that I remember many of them then but all the Yuppies had them and they would fit right in that OFAH Yuppy Love episode

I used to have a Corgi Tech1 Sport in white as kid. I think it was a Sport. I was aware of the M3. I brought (white) E30 M3 to "show and tell" and no joke some kid broke the rear spoiler. I was p1ssed. Lol.

Jimbo I think you should have got that Sport the £20k and kept as garage queen. Then keep 1 or 2 cheap E30s to abuse/rag/drift.

I'm not sure spending £20k of my kids inheritance on a car worth £10k is a very good investment plan though to be honest mate

I also thought the £20k Sport was a bit overpriced and based on previous values be somewhere between £10-15k. At least there are some nice original Sports out there.
