Scary typical for an E30: TMU, bad window regulator, engine leaking oil, upholstery shot. Some E30 fanboy will be all over it!! ;)

Relatively speaking that's petty shit. Only the driver's seat is shot. All of these cars are getting rare as could be and overall it's a clean example.
Fun times behind an S52 E30 up North in WA at the First Annual Bavarian to Cavanaugh drive. Also footage of me crawling into a 488 Pista. That car is something from another planet, but it was parked next to a pristine '72 tii. I kinda swooned more over the tii as you'll see in the video later LOL. Still wake up not believing I sold that damn tii 20 years on.

Seller is super cool dude I used to run into him alot last summer in his E61 N54. Cool cool car. That one was NOT SLOW AF :laugh:

Not at all. First of all it's a 325(e), not a 325i which makes a difference. And your definition of "Super Clean" may mean it had a car wash, but I'd expect upholstery that is not torn, clean wheel arches and matching bumper filler panels.

Now that being said, I agree the price is not out of line.

Fair enough but these guys basically took a shit on it when there was no need to. Several of us reviewed the snark and were like WTF dudes Lighten up Larry.... y'all know I've had 8 classic well 7 classic and one E90 so my frame of reference is reasonable given the ongoing age of these cars and the LACK OF ORIGINAL examples anymore.

This owner is no BMW neophyte either (E61 N54 modded as noted) and this was his simple DD but reasonably well-maintained and as to the filler panels and the driver's seat oh Jesus Effin' Christ on a Bicycle for the price just recover it yourself or source another seat. Damn.

Agree to disagree. It's piddly shit. Go find something better at or near that price. I'll be waiting.

Meanwhile the folks I'm kicking it with find the comments harsh. And they got some cars make all y'all's shit look like yesterday's news.

Pretty much everybody's rig if it's old needs something done to it sooner than later. We just keep on smiling.
Someone here once rhetorically stated -- "I'll bet you're a lot of fun at a party." In point of fact, I am.

Fun times, no harsh judgments, just folks chilling out. Fancy that. :shock:

Wow.
Bodacious means bold, audacious, and brazen. Sometimes it can mean attractive and sexy as well.
The adjective bodacious is probably a blend of the words bold and audacious.

Man, remember when 240hp used to feel like a lot? 4-cylinder N20 territory now.
And that spoiler! What a pretty car that would be if it just didn't have that ugly wing on the back. Too bad, otherwise a nice car.

It's a question of shading. "upholstery shot" for example to me connotes and perhaps denotes that you have a roached interior. In the case you most assuredly do not have a roached interior. You have a driver's seat with a bad bottom. As to whether the car went to a stereotypical E30 fan boy or to a middle-aged or elder person who plans to DD or make pretty I can't say. Nor does it matter to me; it's just a negatively assumptive, tertiary ad hominem loop.

Your turn. I'm ready.

This car sold from the south bay just a few months ago. That seller bought from BAT, documented a few upgrades on YouTube, and presumably sold to this person. Wonder why they are selling so soon.

I'm not sorry.

But calling that Facebook E30 "super clean" is at a "the election was stolen" level of delusional. To say that it is "super clean" means that one does not know what "super clean" actually means in an E30 or E28. There's no way around that, and enough of us here on this friendly little forum know what "super clean" actually looks like.

I'm not sorry the truth is inconvenient. I'm very not sorry. :rofl:
