The holy grail. As far as epic German cars go, few exceed the desirability of the E30 M3. If you need to know why, please ask, but I’m guessing most of the readers here need no further introduction to my favorite car, so I’ll let the pictures do the talking for now.
I’ve seen this exact M3 on eBay before, and while it’s not some racer/tuner/showcar, I like it a lot (perhaps because it seems like such a driver). M3s look good in any color, but I like them in the classic German racing white. 146k miles is ok but not great, as I’ve heard E30 M3s with more than 100k are asking for some serious service. This one looks well taken care of though, with a lot of thorough mechanical attention and upgrades. Apparently it needs a cat before it’s CA legal, but if you’re in a state with less stringent emissions standards (read: all of them), leaving the header-back exhaust is probably a good and loud option. Of note is the price:  people go on and on about E30 M3s going for $20k and up, but perhaps this $12.5k Buy-It-Now represents a softening in the market. Soft or not, these cars are established collectors items and this is a killer deal on the best car ever.

2 days left and it’s at $10,101. Someone take advantage so I can live vicariously through you!
If it was such a hot deal someone would have hit the buy it now by this time. One thing about eBay is that its become a very efficient market these days. Professional car guys scour it day after day. There is hardly an air cooled porsche from 1967 to 1994 on eBay that I dont know about, the same goes for all the other cult like cars, e30 M3 included. The guys in Ohio who run that M3 place would have scooped it up if it were worth the asking price or more now.
