WTB: e34 or e30
« on: May 09, 2011, 05:07:12 AM »
LIKE THE TITLE SAYS: WTB e34 or e30; I prefer an e34…I have had two e30’s already....Please read the entire post, thank you

NOTE: I am out of the country until Mid August, so I am looking to buy then, but if something comes up before then I am willing to work with the seller if he or she is willing to work with me, i.e. having a friend come look and drive the car, or sending me detailed photos, videos (if the car is cross country) AND going through my power of attorney for payment and title transfer.  I AM A CASH (bank check or wire transfer) BUYER PLEASE DON”T WASTE MY TIME OR YOURS, THANK YOU!


General Requirements

Requirements for the e34
Year Range: 1990-1995 (prefer the 94/95 years)
Model: 525i…but show me everything
Transmission: 5spd manual only
Color (in order of desire): White, Silver, Red, Black
Mileage chassis/motor: Chassis: I don’t care as long as everything works and it’s in good condition/motor sub 150K if all possible, will considered those with fresh rebuilds and documentation to prove the rebuild
Price of e34: I would like to stay under $10k but for the right car I will consider more


Requirements for the e30
Year Range: 1989-92
Model: 325i four door will consider coupe if it is a good example
Transmission: 5spd manual only
Color (in order of desire): White, Silver, Red, Black
Mileage chassis/motor: Chassis: I don’t care as long as everything works and it’s in good condition/motor sub 150K if all possible, will considered those with fresh rebuilds and documentation to prove the rebuild
 Price of e30: I would like to stay under $5k but for the right car I will consider more

NO RUST!!!! I am tired of rusted out chassis, bolts break off because of the rust, etc…after owning 30 some cars I have become crotchety about rust



Other Considerations
1. I would prefer to buy a Southern car that has not seen the elements, but will consider northern cars that have been garaged and proof of this
2. I would love a car that is tastefully and subtly modified already, I don’t want project cars but stock is ok with me
3. No swaps, unless it is 100% working order with no problems, none of this..all you have to do is…
3. If the car is accident free, and doesn’t meet some of the other criteria, I am willing to look past certain things.


Location of me: Richmond, VA
Contact information email gray dot loftin at gmail dot com or through PM
best way is through email though, put in subject line BMW e30 or e34, so I can write a rule to filter out these emails and so they are not lost to my spam folder, thank you




**Even if you weren't considering sellling your car, think about it, you have some time to decide, like I said I am looking to buy in August when I am home**

I'd sell my '87 325 sedan; but it's a bit rusty and out of your date range.  Chassis is solid.  I swapped an M20B25 into it from a rollover victim.  The chassis has 169k miles IIRC.  Runs well, needs some work.  Let me know if you'd consider it, I'm only looking for $1500.

Wish I still had my 102k mile '89 525iM.  It would have been perfect for you.

Sold: '97 Montrealblau 318iS, '91 Brilliantrot 318i, '91 Brilliantrot 318iS
