Hello from a new Zoner. This is my first post and I am new to the E30 world. I am in the market for a E30 on the low end of the price scale.

While researching the market I found this beauty. Its a 1990 BMW 325i SPORT in diamond Black. If the clean scuttle panels are a true indicator of the cars condition how much do you think its worth?

EDIT: I forgot the link :mad: not a great start to the Zone :mad: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1990-BMW-325- ... 20dd31c3a5

A clean scuttle is not a true indicator of the cars condition.

They can rot in many other places and just because an E30 has a clean scuttle, does not mean there is no rot anywhere else.

i didnt know that, its a small e30 world. sadly i think this one will be out of my budget. I am going to view a cab soon. besides the scuttle, arches and the floor corners is there anything i should look out for? should i be concerned that the odometer looks tampered? its cheap enough but the dodgy odometer still shows 160k :o

£25 - Is that a capital "3"? ;)
Welcome to the zone! If you are at the low end of the price scale, you might find a 325 Sport a bit out of reach - However, a standard 325 should be more attainable in decent condition at a lower $
