[GransportFan1]

Never heard of this one before, looks nice though.

Yep, never came out over her Adam .... Its a good one .... I only thought they were red but obviously not. Think it came out in Europe just before the EVO 11.

 

[GransportFan1]

not normally a convertible fan but have you seen the red e30 one munich legends have in.

 

[Andyk]

No but will have a look....Munch Legends are good but they do charge alot...But then they have the best examples.

 

[GransportFan1]

they dont have a price on the e30 conny, they have a nice e36 m3 in, red with tan leather, 25000 miles £13,500. I dont know how they manage to get such well cared for examples in stock.

 

[Andyk]

No price...That tells a story Adam....Lots then.

 

[GransportFan1]

30k i reckon, looks mint though, look at the z1 they have in as well.

 

[Andyk]

Love the Z1 Adam ... Much better than the Z3 ... Could have done with a bit more power as it was no quicker than a 325i...But with those drop down doors and great styling I think I would have to have one in my garage.

 

[Andyk]

This is the one to have with the 2.7 upgrade .....

There's one on PH for 33lk ... Now thats too much.

 

[Andyk]

Or your fav colour Adam .. yellow .. Although this was more Lemon yellow than yellow....Think it was called Lemon.

[GransportFan1]

i like the yellow one dont think i would ever buy one though

 

[Andyk]

Price of a 4200 Adam ... Very special little car though.

 

[GransportFan1]

yeah also the price of a delta integrale evo 2 and decent e30 m3 evo 2.

 

[Andyk]

Yep..Thing is it would be nice to have all the above.

 

[GransportFan1]

yep it would, it worries me i may never get an integrale evo 2 and e30 m3 as they will increase in value.

 

[Andyk]

10 years they will be well out of reach ... unless you do well and get a great job that is.

 

[GransportFan1]

10 years time and an e30 m3 will start from about 30k for an evo 1 and then for an evo2 upto 55k.

I don't understand why they've converted that car to RHD as it surely completely destroys the value of the limited edition. It wasn't built as RHD, so is effectively a modified example and therefore worth less in the E30 fraternity. The plaque has been removed and replaced as the console is different for RHD & LHD cars, I don't think the wheels are correct for this version either. It will be interesting to see if this car sells, especially at such strong money. Whilst RHD might be seen as preferable in this country by some, most people interested in a E30 M3 (especially a limited edition) will be looking for originality so that it's value is maintained. Bird's garage were the only place of note for RHD conversions - at the time it cost thousands to have the M3 converted - but this is still b_astardising an interesting example IMHO

Have a look at the attached ad for a delivery mileage M3 Sport Evo and sit down while you look at the asking price. The ad has now been withdrawn but I know the car to be genuine. The seller is a collector of mint, low/no mileage cars, mainly RS Fords (Google the Bonkers collection) but came across TWO of these Sport Evos which had never been used or registered. The BMW fraternity went mental about the discovery and accused the guy of lying etc. as they didn't believe that one existed anywhere, let alone 2 identical cars. He bought them both along with a proper Mercedes Cosworth Evo thing with similar miles from a wealthy collector and dished out a huge slice of humble pie for all of the doubters to feast upon!

£80,000 it is only an evo one as well, christ wonder what a sport evo would go for with delivery miles.

No Adam, not an Evo 1 - the cars are Sport Evolutions, considered the ultimate example of the E30 M3 - I suppose like an early day M3 CSL. It would be the version I would want the most but don't have the pockets for:
