Don't you just love Craig's List ads like that one? At least there's more than "one" photo, but if the car is anything like the presentation/write-up it's gotta be a total money pit/waste of time! ...

Gorgeous Zinno/Black.....next to DS/Black my favorite color combo! My first Bimmer ('85 318) was Cinnabar Red and that color really pops!

I'd try putting as much penetrating oil in the tube as you can find, and get a sawsall and slice up the top of the shock casing being careful to not damage the strut...cut and bend enough to grab a...

Well if the car has a salvaged title the seller should have disclosed that along with what all was done to the car (repairs. etc). Just replacing a front fender shouldn't cause a car to be...

Wow, that's not pretty! I'm sure you'll feel a huge difference with a refurbished head assembly. Hopefully, the bottom end is alright.

Sunoco 93, Techron fuel injection cleaner, and ethanol treatment additive are your M3's friends! And keep the fuel tank topped off before storage.

I figured as much...sign of the times!

I know that early '88's with Cardinal interior could come with red carpet (aka "full red treatment"), as I was considering a DS/Cardinal '88. Then, BMW dropped the red carpet option after '88. I'm...

I doubt this seller being a dealer that anything near $30k is the reserve on this one....most likely $35k or thereabouts (or possibly even higher)....simply because of the car's mileage and apparent...

I'm glad I'm not in the market right now....there were many cars for sale 4 or 5 years ago (for much less $) when I was searching. The "hunt" is half the fun though...well, sometimes...losing a...

I'd do a compression test if it were me.....get to operating temperature then let it cool down 1 hr (per BMW spec)...and see what you have across all 4 cylinders. As Carfantiti said above, high...

I remember seeing both new E30 M3's when they came out and I even spotted a new E36 Lightweight on a trailer one day....nice but, it and all later M3's really just don't do it for me! Something...

My #1 Rule when car shopping...."Feel good about the seller!....if the seller is not forthcoming and doesn't answer each & EVERY question you have, walk...no run!" Honest sellers are a must IMO,...

Safe investments are not plentiful these days....this is one reason we are seeing collectability of classic cars go way up!

The black window washer fluid tank is cool...never seen that before!

Just picked my copy up....it's indeed expensive but the content appears to be somewhat worth the $15! Lots more good stuff inside than the E30 M3 content.

James,

Didn't you mean to say "I don't think he would mis-represent the car"?

P.S. The car does look like it might be a good one for the money for someone!

Obviously a nice example. I love that color combo (looks to be Zinno/Black). Being from Florida though, I had to laugh seeing that damn from license plate holder on the front of the car!...if this...

Looks to be very original...nice color combo! I'd recommend that they buy the plastic wiring harness covers that conceal the wiring along the firewall....will dress up the engine compartment big...

Car looks familiar to me....if it's the same one that I'm thinking of it was far sale in Reading, PA several years ago...and as I recall it may have had some issues. I just cannot say for certain.
...

The '91 318i sounds like a good "go to" car.....I'd at least give him a call or go look at it if I were you. As long as you want a beater why not stay with a Bimmer?

Damn Nick, give some of the rest of us a chance at stuff will ya! Ha!..only kiddin ya man!

John

Gotta love that! Two great cars and two great champions! I hope BMW nails it again this year in DTM!

John

Ralph,

You're just an honest & fair seller! Absolutely nothing wrong with being fair with fellow enthusiasts!

Kudos,

John

Like I said before, it's the damn gas! Ethanol is ruining gasoline for our older cars! PERIOD! Oh, and btw, it also has an effect on lawn mowers, boat motors, and just about everything gasoline...

I'd say that's about right. Generally, for older Bimmers in the $20k to $25k+ range if you are paying more than $200 to $250 range per car/yr for typical collector car insurance (with the usual...

Correct...I did send them photos.

Nope! American Collectors Ins. just covered the amount I asked for. Sure they checked into it, but they did not argue! I priced Hagerty but they were alot more expensive! This was 4-6 years or so...

I just started up mine after a 5 month hibernation, and it took many cranks to get it to start! Once it started it was pretty rough for a few seconds but then was fine. I figure it's the gas....I...

The E28 M5 wheels are definitely more stock looking....similar to the EVO E30 M3 wheels yes, 20mm offset vs 27mm offset for the EVO's...obviously they are both 16" diameter, as opposed to the stock...

Well now that's a steal! It's worth the parts if nothing else.....someone close should grab this....it shouldn't last long. I like sellers who want to unload something and just price an item to...

Here's a suggestion: If you have parts shipped, find out how many parts you can order for the $9.00 shipping charge and order the max...then you can keep some spares and offer the rest to others. ...

Call Larry at carcareonline.com Good dude and he has "everything"! That's where I've bought my Wurth stuff for years.

John

Looks very nice indeed! Might be a good one for anyone in the market...I'd prefer no window tinting and black interior, but I could get past that if I was in the market. Silver looks absolutely...

The PO of my car had the trans rebuilt by Blanton....I believe I have the receipt...if I can remember, I'll look and see what the cost was. As I recall, it wasn't all that bad however. All I know is...
