When the first-generation E30 M3 reaches 25 years old- it will attain Classic Car Status, and the value will skyrocket to levels close to that of the 3.0CSi,3.0CSL. I personally think that it will be more like the value of the 507- because of its stellar racing career, and hardcore cult status. Face it- BMW no longer makes cars of this cars of this caliber, simply because its too expensive to produce turnkey-ready professsional-grade race machinery, to the consuming public.

If you avoid it- dont sell ....drive/keep your M3 to the ground, and make it an addition to your future estate.

I was thinking of selling my M (would like to pick up a couple of other toys)If there is any interest among the group I would like to know. The car like I said is an 88 and the colors are alpine/cardinal. I have replaced anything and everything in the interior that looked the slightest bit worn. (all factory BMW parts) It has what I consider to be lame wheels (16" DP) but the tires are the AVS with just over 200 miles on them. Now the milage, its 164,000 mi. Yes its a lot but I am an extremely detailed person and the individual that I bought the car from is as well, so the maint. and quality of parts is Original or better not cheap aftermarket(there have been almost 6000.00 in upgrades or "repairs" that I felt like doing). The outside of the car is perfect not so much as a ding. If you would like to see pics or would like a detailed info sheet email me with requested angles you would like to see of the car and I will take the pics and send within 8 hours or less.I'm looking forward to input on price etc.
