1991 M Technic E30 325i: Worth buying?

[BavarianBeast]

It looks like a good car in good condition but it is an old model and you can buy something new and advanced.

Buddy... I own a Dinan S1 M5 and a new F30 328D on top of this car... Please.

Great e30! With the car being single stage paint you can most likely skip the wet sanding. Especially since you don't know how much paint is there.

Great project and keep it up!

I thought you wanted to wetsand old single stage paint to get off the contaminated surface layer to see reach the clean paint underneath

Well, after a month of stalling due to being too busy at my job, I've done a full buffing, polishing and a few coats of wax, new kidney grilles, new hood roundel and a new rear convertible top window. The car will be going on Craigslist later this week. I'm getting it smogged tomorrow.

Actually, the paint is on the e30 is not single stage, but a base and clearcoat paint. At least according to the bodyshop that I took mine to. Awesome looking vert!

Only the Metallic's were base/clear unless it was cleared by a dealer independently when new. This is why the reds, whites can be buffed. Again, this is when new...a long time ago. Most have been resprayed at some point. I think this car was already sold.
