This 1988 M3 that simply offered on Bring A Trailer for $250,000 had 8,000 miles on it and looks basically ideal. However that dollar figure still blows every E30 sale ever out of the water. A minimum of, every one Ive ever seen. Each BaT has seen too, according to its auction result spreadsheet on this model.
Welp.
The BMW E30 M3, the O.G. M3, the quintessential BMW, truly, has been a highly valued and longed for collectors product for a long period of time but a quarter-million dollar sale on one is … quite wild.

A nice 89 E30 M3 chose about $100,000 two years earlier and the auction website hadnt taped anything greater till today. Have a look at the listing if you wish to see a big batch of images of todays crazy pricey car, by the method.
I. I dont even know, fam. These are terrific vehicles with a lot of cache, historic worth, a charming design, and a great driving experience but, $250,000! Sorry if you wanted to buy one of these in the near future. You can anticipate this sale to be cited following “I understand what I have” in every advertisement for these now and even clapped-out ones will go from “expensive” to “begin, guy.”
G/O Media might get a commission
Simply a life of getting moved from one super great garage area to another.
Every one BaT has seen too, according to its auction result spreadsheet on this design.
I do not indicate to sound very bitter, I wasnt in the market myself, but I do get a little bummed out thinking that terrific cars and trucks like this are just being utilized as parking spots for large amounts of money. Just a life of getting moved from one extremely good garage space to another. Definitely, you cant invest this kind of coin on an old M3 and then drive it? Every mile would cost you thousands! Or something!
That stated, I have a couple vehicles I barely drive and just take pleasure in taking a look at so who am I to criticize other collectors.
If you wanted to buy one of these in the near future, sorry. You can expect this sale to be pointed out following “I know what I have” in every advertisement for these now and even clapped-out ones are about to go from “costly” to “come on, dude.”
It does appear like it keeps getting harder to purchase old hardware. I believe Im going to hang on to my Datsun a bit longer after all.
