We have a gorgeous 1984 318i Euro that was imported from Germany in 2002. 148,000 km, 4-speed manual, original alpine white exterior with flawless original blue cloth interior. Absolutely zero rust anywhere on this vehicle. All mechanicals are up to date including recent brake service at Forward Automotive in Victoria. Full service record including complete maintenance history from Germany.

This is a classic early E30 318i with front discs and rear drums, non-power steering. Comes with a good quality Alpine AM/FM/CD with amp (installed) PLUS original German AM/FM stereo. 14" steel wheels with hubcaps. Almost new Bridgestone tires. Glass is perfect. Sunroof works - no leaks. Engine and transmission are excellent. Handles beautifully. It is extremely rare to find an E30 Euro in this condition. The only cosmetic condition issues are a couple of very small dents on the roof and one on the RF fender which were there when we bought the car.

The vehicle is located in Victoria BC. Additional pictures available on request. We'd like to see this go to a buyer who will truly appreciate this rare find. We've got approximately $6000 invested but we're looking for offers around $4800. Please e-mail danwood@telus.net or call 250-472-8105.

Oops - just realized I posted the incorrect odometer reading. Actual kms are 165,000 - not 148,000. It had 148,000 when we bought it.

Hi guys!

I am about to post this vehicle for sale on the usual web sites. Since there has been no interest or input so far from this group, can any of you give me some feedback on asking price, description, unanswered questions...?

I'd appreciate any suggestions. This car is in amazing shape. We checked out at least ten others before buying it earlier this year. It was far and away the cleanest and cosmetically best E30 we have seen before or since.

Al Canuck · 10-14-2008, 08:52 PM

Hate to say it, but its too expensive. Yes, its very clean, and rare. But fact is, its an M10 E30. Even one this clean, likely won't fetch much higher than $3000-3500.

Man... look at that stance... i agree with Al its sweet clean and rare... but it may be a little high

direction88 · 10-15-2008, 11:48 AM

Price is more than a little high. Right now it is contending with a clean 91 318is for $4000. Regardless of KMS and a couple of small bugs I know which one I would choose.

Nice little euro e30! Are you selling in Victoria? I recommend putting it up on usedvictoria.com Just found that site and it's much much better/more active than craigslist (Victoria). Also don't go too low if you can wait and sit on it.. it'll sell it looks really nice!!

Yes, I am in Victoria and you're right - Used Victoria is a great site. I have used successfully it many times. Thanks for the comments about the car. Please pass the word along to anyone who might be interested in taking a look. By the way, the interior is just as nice as the exterior.

Alright will do, I wish I had the cash right now

stonecoast · 10-20-2008, 12:45 PM

bump... with a lower asking price. This car is now listed on Craigslist and Used Victoria at $4250. Come take a look or email for more pics.

Polaris78 · 10-21-2008, 12:33 AM

Hi,

Assuming this lil' Euro e30 is as clean/stock/rust-free as it looks in the pics, for my money I'd take it over a 91 318is anyday. I love the stance, and super-conservative lines. The latter may be a better value from a driveability perspective, but I know I'd have much more fun in the Euro 84.

Now if this were some Euro e21 super-base model, I would be all over it, despite have zero space! Don't even ask about an e21 Baur!

Good luck with the sale. It this was three months on the past, I'd probably have come and taken a look!

Regards,
C
