patsbimmer1 Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 So is that where we're at? $3k for a wrecked e30? It doesn't look to me to even have $3k worth of parts to part out. Am I being naive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsparagusMike Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 That's a little insane. There was a guy I met a while back right near me that ended up selling me a trans for my motor that had bought a 91 ix almost identical to that one to fix up. Front end smashed in from an accident but clean everywhere else, same color, automatic trans...and he payed 1200 bucks for it.

stealthbimmer Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Yea, I didnt even respond to him. I had to close the txt to prevent me saying something mean( my new years resolution was to be nicer, it's been hard a road) His response to my first text (which was just asking for a ballpark price) was: "No idea. I know theyre worth the most of all e30s cuz theyre the rarest". Which, yea maybe, but a wrecked car is still a wrecked car. You may get lucky and be able to rebuild it, but its pretty much a parts car as it sits. A front end is very hard to get back together where everything doesnt look wonky after a front end collision like that. My e34 wasn't nearly that bad and I still had to ghetto space some bolts to keep my front end from looking like it has downs. There is not 3k in parts on there. The drivetrain is really the only thing worth more on the ix, the tcase in particular. I will say, the extras for $500 is probably worth it. I know the tcases are becoming harder and harder to find in working order. That being said, post is gone. Tempted to ask him why.

Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk It will likely go for more than I have to spend. I really just want the manual swap goodies. Wondering how it ended up there with such minimal body damage Doesnt take much for insurance companies to total 20+ year old cars. It does have a clean title though, so who knows what the circumstances are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 Well if you end up getting it cheap, I will buy a good portion of parts off of you if you just want the trans swap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suspenceful Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 I browse CoPart every once in a while, mostly for newer BMWs, but can't do much because I don't have a dealers license. Do you guys have a license or a way around that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there are brokers who will help you buy a car with their license, but then they charge a fee Another option is look in MN, since I believe you don't need a license there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I know getting a dealer's license isn't exactly an easy task either. Nice tip on looking in MN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris3 Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 I'm trying to figure out why this one looks familiar. Anyone here own this in the past or know the car? Maybe its just the front kidney color add-ons. https://milwaukee.craigslist.org/cto/d/2001-bmw-330i/6422857732.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
