Thanks for the links Steve. I'm still trying to hold out for something a little cleaner.

I noticed you were looking. Out of curiosity, what's your price range? If I see something, I'll send it your way.

[stevespai]

For a really clean one, I'm trying to keep it around 15k. However, like you, I'm trying to find one locally...which is difficult.

It's a shame that when EV
OIIIM3 sold his, it happened to be the week when I was really busy and didn't visit the board. When I finally did, I missed the sale by a few days. That is the cleanest M3 I've seen, by far. I would have found a way to pay his asking price

I use his images as my desktop background.

Wow, looks clean. I never really got into the red though...I like it, but I still prefer the other colors hehe.

[ShiftBMW]

I'd like to reiterate that I'm willing to travel ANYWHERE in California to find the right car.

Hey, what did you think about the one in fresno? (beemerjunkie)

[ShiftBMW]

I never saw it in person. 190k on the motor is just not what I'm looking for...with that kind of mileage I feel like I'd basically be buying a body with a blown motor that comes with free towing...aka rebuild time.

The car looks freakin clean though.

[beemerjunkie]

Even with 190k the car runs great. Most of us when we get these cars the first thing we want to do is the 2.5 upgrade. That means rebuilding it anyway. People do this even on low mileage cars. I understand your point about the mileage, but the low mileage cars seem to be above the 15k mark. When i bought this car i bought it because i wanted an e30 m3. I was lucky because this one had alot of rehab work done to it and it ran great as well. After all this is a BMW and they go for ever as long as you take care of them and this is one that the previous owner took pride in. I have the papers to prove it. So with that being said i wish the best of luck to you and hope you find the one for you as i will be some what as picky when i look my E36 M3.

Check AutoTrader, there are quite a few

[ShiftBMW]

That white one looks clean, but I don't want to spend 18000 just yet...

And I check autotrader every day!

DING DING DING! We might have a winner! In Sac.

I would loose the wheels though. However, it is clean.

[stevespai]

I'll probably make the drive up next week, I'll let you know if its any good. Only issue is that not much of a maintenence history was kept.

[ShiftBMW]

Wow Steve, that is my ideal car. I saw it and emailed the guy last night. Definately let me know how it is. I'm not sure when I'm going to be able to get to Sacto next...hopefully soon to see that thing...


Where are you located anyways?
