This thing will probably ask used gt3 pricing / north of 6 figures.My wild guess is it'll end the listing at around 130k. Looks super clean and enthusiasts will chop an arm and leg off for one of these things now.

About a year or so ago EAG sold a 6k mile example for $200k.

Wow that will be interesting to watch. I have a soft spot for that model, when I was a kid a neighbor had a pristine one and that was the car that got me started on the car crazy lifestyle . I would walk by it and just stare. Lol.

Such a beauty

I was actually the winning bidder. Of course it's raining non-stop all week so I'll pick it up from The Drivers Source later. Think I did pretty well 🙂

Not sure what part of Houston you are in, but I'm near Kingwood and would love to meet up and see it; on a sunny dry day of coarse.

Congrats on the purchase. I've recently looked at some used F82 with 10k miles that weren't in as good a shape as these photos depict. Someone let this car sit untouched for some time.

I'm going to drive it! 🙂 I'll get it concours ready. None of that paint correction or ceramic coating. Just good ole Carnauba wax. Thinking of dry icing the undercarriage to get all that cosmaline off.

I just paid for it but keeping it in the showroom and took a buddy with me who is an avid car collector and he was blown away by the condition of this E30. It really is a time capsule for being 100% original and unmolested.

That classic certificate to get issued from bmw of numbers matching is not easy to attain.

Awesome and congratulations. I got a numbers matching C3 Vette, but getting a certificate from the Heritage Society is harder than it seems because they want showroom condition. Sounds like you got a great toy. By the way, is it at Gateway Classic Cars or another company in town?
