    1981 320i in Kyle, TX $4800. Fairly clean looking. Has Recaros and a 5speed, but isn't an IS.
    That looks nice, but with the rain I can't tell if the paint finish is horrible or not.

    I had fun already. Now I just want to relax. 8)

    But actually in the rain yesterday I did 180 degree u-turns with tire spin the whole way in the rain. Kick down works and first gear is still low.

    I could still smell the rubber today.

    Holy *!%@. $10,000 feels like a steal quite honestly.

    I truly don't want to start a firestorm here and no offense against mcgee as I think even with the flex plate repair cost he did okay on his car but...

    Regarding this 30k mile car: Automatic -~$2500 and safari beige -(at least) $1000. Given that and the tires are old and seats are toasted (surprising the guy admits to that, must be the rare honest ebay seller), I think that's pretty much all the money. Pretty sure that car has been for sale for quite a while, as in over a year. IIRC they were trying to get more than $9500 for it originally.

    People have paid more for less IMO... 30k miles is pretty damn low for a car this age. Certainly the lowest I've seen.

    I don't disagree that 10k is a lot but c'mon it has to be worth more than 3500

    Thankfully, it looks like someone purchased it. The temptation was keeping me up at night.

    I had half a mind to buy it and sell mine! Maybe a 1/4 mind...

    Here's a blue 4-speed on BAT:

    Did someone say it was only worth $3500? That is ridiculous.

    Here's my math on it: A "just about any other color than safari", manual transmission, non-S package, 320i with ~30k miles would be a low to mid teens car. Subtract off $2500 for the auto and subtract off $1000 or so for the color and you're at ~$9500.

    Ah I did your math wrong. I thought you were saying 3500. I see your logic now, my bad. Safari beige isnt so bad. Beats the E30 champagne colors! But it's pretty close to the bottom of the barrel. Im the weird guy that would be happy with any E21 paint color.

    I love the attention these E21 are getting. Im happy with my M42 swap and glad I took my time with it, but holy crap, it was just a $1500 car when I decided to tear down an original vehicle with 100k miles.

    The car in Kyle, Texas looks like a good buy to me assuming it runs and drives well.

    Relatively nice looking 323i euro in California. Its on Copart and you cannot bid without a dealers license unfortunately.

    I hate that all these cars are in California.

    I really don't need another car but I've always wanted a true 323 euro. I wonder if it's optioned with an LSD?

    The sport seats look good. Most of the car looks good with the low resolution photos. It may even buff up pretty despite the bad clear.

    I hope someone can get it.

    Thinking of grabbing this car for a donor to my Baur..

    Why is it on Copart? Is this a regular occurrence? My assumption donation meant just dumping it for a write off.

    Drool. Sure hope it doesn't get crushed.

    Here's a drivers side underdash panel in good condition for $59 shipped. Just posting it because it took me a long time to find one as nice as this when I needed one!

    Early and late are different, correct?

    Thanks for sharing!

    I think these are all the same. At least, realoem doesn't indicate a year range for it.

    There are two different ones, with and without the speaker fader knob - but don't bother waiting for one without the knob, I've only ever seen one once, and it wasn't for sale
