IMHO i would go M3.By all accounts you need deep pockets to keep the Cossie.Sport evo if the funds strech to it.:thumbs:

Keep the e30 standard and it will hold decent money.

The 3dr hold good dough, but if you tinker I think you limit your market.

E30 for me.

In terms of investment, I wonder if E30s have now peaked? Will a mint Sport Evo really keep going up over £40k, or a Cecotto or Ravaglia over £30k?

I suspect it could be the same for the late 80s/early 90s stuff like Golf Limiteds, Merc 190 Evos, Integrales, Quattros, and maybe Cossies

The smart money seems to be going into CSLs and Z3M Coupes as far as I can see now

Saying that, I'd still love an E30. And an RS500. And...

Always fancied an RS500,what do they go for now days.

[grumps]

Yes i'am with you on that! I've got a 190 cossie modified but am always able to restore back to standard so if i got a cossie it would be standard, I used to run around in an rs500 that belonged to my boss at the time back in the day! But we also look after a couple of e30's.

20k upwards:bigcry:

Think they're about the £30-35k mark when they come up for sale. Little more gets you an E30 Sport Evo, and a little more again seems to be the rate for a 190 EvoII (£40-50k)

[grumps]

How about a 131 racing lol

Always remember the E30 M3s against the RS500s in the BTCC,some fantastic battles,the RS500s had massive BHP.:thumbs:
