In Reply to: ATTN: Rant on M3 Values posted by Bill on December 02, 2001 at 13:26:25:
Well all I have to say is fu*k off to people who are trying to lowball values on our cars, based on KBB/Edmunds, etc. The fact is that E30 M3's are rare (like more rare than the Porsche 930 turbo for example) and condition/maintenance/history play a MAJOR part in the value of a collector car like an M3.
If people want to pay book, value for a used M3, then they sould go find one at a used car auction or on a dealer lot.
Rant off.

Rare?
"Rare" is something you can't find. I don't consider the E30 M3 rare....or the 930 turbo either. Since I can find many for sale (several even locally) at any give time.
But I guess compared to E36 M3's the E30's are harder to find....especially in nice condition.
I own (2) early Alpina B7 turbos based upon the E12 chassis... there were only 209 built(149 B7 and 60 B7S's). Are they rare? Kind of, but not really, as I found both via the internet, in about a year of time and have since seen at least 5-10 others for sale in the last 3 years. Remember, there may be only 20-30 early B7's in the US total. But they aren't hard to find considering I haven't even been looking...... Difficult to find in good condition? Yes, but not rare.
I think a BMW 507 might be considered "rare", but not a E30 M3.
