1985 318i Yes or No

[Ignusvdmerwe]

This vehicle is spotless, 1 Owner since 1985. Under 100000km done. Is this a possible classic? Let me know what you think if this is a keeper for future vintage cars or is the 318i engin a little light weight.

Hope this gives you a better idea. It's a beauty.

Dunno about a future classic, but I sure as hell would buy it.

Go for it.

 

[Nick]

price?

 

[Ralf*]

I might be wrong ...but any 2 door E30 is much more a collectors piece then the standard 4 door

 

[Ignusvdmerwe]

The price puts it in a whole new perspective, asking price is 49k, although chances to get another 1 owner 28 year old Beamer with full service history, and only 96000km on the clock might be a rare finding.... This car wil surely make someone very happy, do hope it's a BMW enthusiast like us to be the new owner.....

49k is steep.

But one does not simply buy a BMW with ones head
You buy with your heart.

If you like it, buy it bro!

I defnately agree on that!

I agree with both of these statements. :rollsmile::thumbs:

 

[sajjoo]

looks pretty neat bro and well looked after

 

[Fraser]

I'd buy it. Without hesitation.
As a matter if fact if you're not going to take it send me the details.

If you got the cash, buy the car...too many of these mint models end up in the wrong hands being molested :thumbs:

 

[Sabretooth tiger]

Do it bud.

 

[Fraser]

No don't do it....... It's a horrible car.
You'll hate it.
Terrible colour and too old.
That car came out with foot pedals. You'll have to leave for work an hour earlier.
:nonono:

Okay let me be quiet frank. I got an e30 318i.

Very nice car.
Price is way high. Its an old car things need to be fixed/replaced.
Yes parts are cheaper than others but some can be pricey.

When I bought my car I had to replace the following:
Ball joints
Steering rack (not leaking, it had play)
Gear lever started hitting the propshaft had to get that adjusted.
Diff bushes and subframe bushes were worn out.

All these came to around 10k with fitment costs.
Cosmetic fixes came to around 5k

The cost does add up.

Driving the car is a pleasure. I enjoy getting into it and driving. Its a day and night difference compared to a golf mk 1.

End of the day I bought this car o use as a daily. If I wanted a "collector" item I would have spent 50k on a nice 325i.

I personally don't like the chrome bumper model. The plastic bumper has more stance.

At the end of they day a month after driving this car you will want a 325i. I would buy this car to use as a daily and that's all but not at that price.

Just my 2cents. Take it or leave it. End of the day, life is more fun in an e30 :thumbs:

one more thing. Don't buy this car with intention to keep value or resell. Buy it to enjoy it :thumbs:

Would've loved to have it, not for daily use, just to keep it in my garage.

The only reason I see for buying it is to use it everyday and enjoy it.
