Now I know E30 are becoming collectable but have they really reached the £12k mark for 80k on the clock ??

80k is low mileage for a 22 year old car, if its genuine mileage, condition looks pristine to be fair

Looks immaculate. Perhaps if the mileage was 50% lower and if everything on the car is mint you may get close.

Advert is pretty poor for that money. Don't like the white front and side indicators either. For that money, has to be original.

On average most E30's I have seen are around the 100k mark so if he is asking £12k for 80k miles... 100k mile must be worth £10k then.

I think it would have to be less then 50k miles to Ask for that sort of price.

Agree with everything said here. For that kind of money I'd want a comprehensive ad, a car that's 100% original, and on a Sport I'd want to see it with all the plastics off before I part with my hard-earned.
This is why I no longer drive an E30......

Condition over mileage fella , you can't price them on their age, and there can't be many about in that condition, and most e30s around 100k mark almost guaranteed have a chunk if older mots missing, sport mileage is definatly way higher than 100k on average , they are cars that have been driven and enjoyed a lot lot more than the old boys moor door type cars and most e30s remembering the era and yuppie business types who bought them in then days , would of often clocked up 100k un the 1st 10 years easily

I agree on the condition over mileage...I am sure you can do a vosa MOT check to make sure the mileage matches up.

Only the last few years it goes back, you can see the last 4 or 5 mots and may show the mileage tally up, but its rate the have an e30 with every single mot from new- which is the only way to truly prove genuine low mileage if your talking a premium price

I wonder out if all the e30s on owned on here, ESP sports- how many actualy have the 1st 5 mots ?? Would be interesting to see how many . The mileage on them and the car now

Have to say, Sterling with black leather is to best combo on a tech 2. That looks stunning but the moody plates are a put off.

Here's something that needs to be added into every advert.


"Anyone can restore/tart up a car but it takes time to get this rust effect, so save yourselves the years of waiting. Premium Price, Genuine rust, Investors only"

What do think? We could achieve a sale?
