28k Miles BMW e30 M3 For Sale in Alpine White
This has only been listed for a couple days and the bidding is already over $26,000 with 7 days remaining. Hold on, this one is reaching high!

quote from the seller’s listing:
Possibly the finest BMW E30 M3 Coupe in North America! One owner, 28,385 original miles, garaged, no winters, no rain. Completely stock, no modifications what so ever. The undercarriage is pristine. We are a 30 year BMW specialist representing the owner who is reluctantly selling this vehicle due to health issues.
The Alpine White on Tan leather looks very good and a nice break from the black or cardinal red interiors that white cars often came with. I’m a little surprised at how much this one is currently going for and will be eager to see where it finishes!

Super Low Miles BMW e30 M3 For Sale
BringATrailer spotted this 4k mile e30 M3 earlier this summer and I blogged it as well on my old blog. It’s an interesting discussion piece as it’s likely one of the nicest survivors in the world, and carries an absurd asking price of $55k.
I post it again here for those who haven’t seen it yet and because my memory was sparked when a thread on VWVortex showed up and a lengthy discussion ensued concerning this car.
What’s your take?

Update: This listing is pretty out of date. Consider one of these early e30 M3′s instead!

BMW e36 M3 in Alpine White Wallpapers
I took most of the weekend off from blogging (and everything else technology in nature) to enjoy the 75 degree weather we got this weekend in the Willamette Valley. I apologize for the lack of posting and I offer these wallpapers in return. They were created from an old image I took of my previously owned Alpine White 1995 BMW e36 M3.

1989 BMW e30 M3 For Sale with 71k miles
Alpine White is one of the best M colors in my opinion, and of course this holds especially true on e30 M3′s. Here is a 1989 BMW M3 with 71k miles for sale on eBayMotors:
quote from seller’s eBaymotors listing:
[...]
EVO III splitter below the EVO II spoiler.
EVO rear flap spoiler.
EVO hood gaskets were installed front and back. A brand new extra set of EVO gaskets included.
The M3 has front and rear strut bars and Sport Springs
Brand new crossed drilled rotors, brake lines and differential cover installed…..all by South Bay Independent ( the leading West Coast M3 repair shop) We did not stop there the SBI custom short shifter was installed and just recently EVO red seatbelts and VDO gauges for Oil Pressure and Volts were added where the ashtray was formally.
From Turner Motorsport came OEM EVO front and rear wings while getting painted I had the front bumper re-painted and a new windshield installed ( no rust anywhere on this car).
The badges done in the mono scheme to stay in the Alpine/Grey/Black color .
The interior is 9/10. Leather is in EXCELLENT condition (just fantastic and rare for the tan interior cars). The back seats are perfect!!!…the fronts are in fantastic condition. The Steering wheel is a Momo Driver and a Hamman shifter and Momo boot. It also has the E30 arm rest.
A removable subwoofer resides in the back but factory speakers and amp are in place. A new Alpine cd player is installed and the factory OEM radio is included.
17″ Ronals that look great and the tires only have about 1000 miles on them.
ECU from Turner Motorsports.
E36 tension modification already completed.
EVO/European doorsills that bear the M3 logo…quite pricey.Mechanically, the car is incredible. All maintainence and service history have been impeccably kept.
[...]
I just had a compression test done and all were 160-165 lbs.
The graphics are vinyl and can easily be removed if desired.
[...]
I love all the Evo mods on this car, though I’m a little less crazy about some of the less period correct upgrades. They’re nice, but they just don’t match. One thing is for sure though: This car is CLEAN! It’s already bid at a bit over $12k (reserve not met) and has 8 days to go. The last e30 M3 I posted was a local PNW car and it sold for about the current bid. Granted it had more miles and it was difficult to tell the condition compared to the photos seen here. But it’s in the same ballpark I think.
Update: Maybe this car isn’t in the same ballpark. It’s listed on S14.net for $27000!

1991 BMW e34 M5 in Alpine White
Alpine white on black leather. Does it get any better on an M car than this? I don’t think so either. This 1991 e34 M5 looks very clean for 104k miles, and if the documentation of upkeep holds up, $11k sounds like an absolute bargain for this legendary modern classic.
Listing on Roadfly for this 1991 BMW M5 in Alpine White in MA:
quote from Roadfly listing:
1991 BMW M5 The e34 M5 was a very special car. Each was hand built by a team of two skilled craftsmen. This one has been Garaged kept and is in excellent shape. It has 109K Miles. It is white with black leather interior. The car has upgraded Dinan supension, Dinan chip and cam gears. Absolutely Immaculate Interior and All power functions operational. A/C blows Strong and Cold. Extensive service history.
There are a lot of if’s when it comes to e34 M5′s, and there is homework that must be done for this car. But on the other hand, it wasn’t too long ago that cream puff e34 M5′s were in the $18-25k range. If it took a few thousand to get this car into really sharp condition, you’d still be ahead of the game.

1988 BMW e30 M3: Alpine White on BBS, How Can You Go Wrong?
For $16k, this looks like a great compromise between an expensive beauty queen example and a full on track only modified car. Check out this 1988 BMW e30 M3 For Sale in Reno on Craigslist:

Alpine White BMW’s are so beautiful, and this e30 M3 looks great with the BBS rims, smoked tails, and Evo spoiler. While I might normally take objection with the black cloth Recaro’s against the stock tan leather interior, a well maintained car with 108k miles and a $16k asking makes me think the better of it. Looks like a really fun way into an appreciating modern classic while being able to drive it in the manner it was intended: At weekend auto-x’s, track days and back road blasts through the mountains!
