Clean and lower-mile E30 M3 for sale

Usually I can distance myself from the pangs of covetousness I feel when I see E30 M3s such as this with immaculate paint jobs, engine compartments worth eating off of, and the steep price tag that goes with it.  They’re so far out of the price range, so nice, and too far to access that I don’t have to worry about losing control and stealing it.  Distance isn’t an option here, though, as this car is for sale exactly halfway between home and work and right on my route.  So… close…

97k mile E30 M3 for sale on Burlingame Craigslist

New OEM Bosch spark plugs
New OEM BMW ignition wires

This is a beautiful M3.  Diamondschwartz isn’t my favorite, but for a car in this condition, it will do, especially being such a beautiful new paint job.  Finding an M3 under 100k miles these days is the holy grail, and this is a nice medium between never-driven time capsule and well-maintained and well-used 80s delight.  He’s obviously put some serious time and money into making this car as good as it can be.  $23k is on the high end of M3s that have actually been driven, but the more I look at it and the thoroughness of the maintenance, the more it seems like a fair price.  I wish it were less, and I wish it were further away so that I didn’t have to ponder the consequences of felony grand theft auto.

    To think he could have sold it for 14K with the Shabby but original paint. I prefer old paint to new paint when it comes to cars like an E30 M3. looks like a nice car though. If it has zero corrosion when viewed from a hoist, that would be a bonus.
