Another rare, attractively-priced E30 M3 has come up on eBay that could give someone the chance to fulfill their dreams without destroying their bank account. Â We’ve seen examples go north of $30k, with the majority of the market in the mid-teens these days. Â High-mileage M3s have become the last affordable way to get in the ultimate homologated BMW sports car, and this one comes in decent condition considering it’s covered 190k miles.
The mileage means it’s going to need a bit of work, but getting an M3 for under $10k is practically grand theft auto these days. Â The engine looks very clean considering the mileage and age, and the interior and exterior each have highs and lows. Â The Cinnabar Red looks pretty good though the front fascia has seen a lot of road. Â The seats have normal E30 wear but aren’t falling apart, and the rest of the front interior looks pristine. Â With less than day left and reserve off, the bidding is at $7,900. Â If people say you have to spend $15k to get a nice M3, this one will give you plenty of breathing room to make it gorgeous.

I’d only buy a car like that in person. The shot from under the hoist looking up would be the most important one. That and a test drive…oh yeah and a leakdown test. Nice deal if it passes.
