    Vehicle Rarity Question???

    Gentlemen (and ladies);

    I am contemplating yet another acquisition, however, I would like to know if this is a rare or at least somewhat rare car.

    Thank you for any and all input.

    Regards,

    Mike

    Interior is black leather, appears to be in great shape.

    It's listed as 211hp, does anyone know if that is higher than the US M30 in the E34?

    I tried to look it up on both my '85 E24's and the decoded VIN says 0hp. I know the euro spec engine has more hp than the US version, so was wondering about the E34.

    Thanks again,
    Mike

    various
    Rare for Japan I guess in that it has a sunroof and leather. Pretty run of the mill stateside.....

    AFAIK 211 hp is normal.

    Yup, the only reason for the "rarity" here would be the VIN...

    If it was a manual with no sunroof, I'd be all over it...

    Yeah, it's officially 3hp faster. Between the age, mileage, and many chip options available for the M30 (I like EAT), the difference is moot.

    Its funny, clean mtechnic e30's with automatic transmissions now sell multiples higher than even clean 325is e30's five speeds because of rarity... but when the same thing in an e34 shows up its like yawn zzzzzz....

    e34's with factory msport body kit and suspensions don't last long for sale in Germany.
