Jeeze I never find things like this

How about an E30 M3 with just 37 miles, a second E30 M3 with 57 miles and, wait for it, a Ford RS200

Pretty much what I was thinking.

That's interesting as only last week one of our customers at the shop said he had just bought a low miles RS200 that had bene stored...

I wonder if that's the one?

Never driven an E30 M3 or an RS200 then?

Not a fan of BM's to be fair but what a find, a rally legend and still one of the fastest accelerating cars ever made and two pristine M3's...

Twas a lucky person who found these......

Of it in it's dusty state or before it went in the garage?

Here it is about 4 months ago, last time I pulled it out of the garage to wash and clean....

2.5 straight six. Totally original with 90,000 on the clock.... It's the SE model too so has all the options, elec mirrors, sunroof and all 4 windows (all work), remote central locking... I love it.


Nice.. Not particularly into BMs, but I bet its nice to know you have that locked away to play with

I'd take the RS200 over either of them...

Well, my wife bought me it for my birthday last year because I kept on about how they are going up in price. She paid £800 with tax and MOT last year. It is hard to find a totally standard 325 of that age with that mileage for that price now

I'm into all sorts, the only reason I wanted the E30 (I had never driven one BTW) was because I had convinced myself it would only go up in value, I would buy anything un-usual though. Myself and you have very similar tastes actually
