Help Needed for E30 fitment

[Prestovie]

Enough links, I want to see an E30 with gravel tires and a skid plate! And a rally computer. And a cage.

Your idea of hitting up your friend's dad, rally guy from IRE, is spot on! If you run into dead ends, hit me up, I can scour my old teammates.

Really? Awesome thank you for offering, I'm really excited about getting it up to rally spec, the computer and cage may be a next year project, but for now I'm amped.
Just gotta convince my dad to let me store it in his house, if not looks like I'll be renting a spot for it

No worries. My old co-driver is in Canada this week, I will hit him up upon his return.

What'd you guys think? A little over priced in my opinion but if I can get him down in price then we're talking

Overpriced? E30's are appreciating for some reason. A rust-free E30 ix is a cream of the crop find, and for less than 5 grand? It's a steal.

Actually? Well damn, I knew the ix's were rare but I didn't really think about that
Just wish I had the money right now, I texted the guy saying I'd be able to make it out there during spring because I'll be traveling that way already and I'm waiting for a response.
I'm in love with it right now and it'd kill me if I couldn't get it

Not sure about where you live, but in the Northeast, finding a decent E30 worth buying for less than 4 grand is very difficult. That 4 grand will get you a rusty red-headed stepchild 318i or 325e, both of which require a couple of people to push from behind just to accelerate onto the highway in normal time. It'll need work at this price point.

It's been a while since I've checked, but when I last looked, the super clean ones were over 6-7k for standard 325i's, with 318is and 325is models being a little bit more. These are the rust free ones. Ix's commanded a bit of a premium if they're rust free and have a fully functioning AWD system.

Things may have changed, but if they were appreciating then, I'm sure that's not the case now.

Good luck! BTW, I would advise against buying this E30 for the purpose of driving down those crap roads for your summer job. If you're dead set on getting another car for that, you should buy something crappy that you can dispose of after you're done with it, something you don't care about. Just my 2 cents.

Ah that's what I'm worried about, I really really want an e30(and this one being AWD is a bonus) but I know I'd be driving it out there this summer. At the same time I don't want to buy a rusty red headed step child lol, I'll probably be using it in the winter too from now on so I can keep the ZHP safe, so it needs to last for more than one summer.
All the other e30s that I'm finding have rust below the windows and that could mean subframe and undercarriage rust and nobody wants that... it's almost too perfect to pass up

Agreed. A decent Civic, Accord, Corolla, or Camry should be able to be found in the $1,000 - $3,500 range depending on what you're looking for.

I just can't get myself to buy a Honda/Hyundai I know they'd probably be more practical, but personally I wouldn't be able to drop that kind of money on something I would loathe driving
