Must of been those strong BMW side beams that as you said "literally saved your ass." Nice to hear you got some fair coin from it. I can't imagine any scrap yard handing over an E30 here though, I think you might have gotten very lucky there as well! Anyways, great but unfortunate story. Perhaps its time to relive…

woooooow!
I wrote that blog and a few follow ups. Met the owner, but that didn't reveal much as he was very tight lipped. No one knows quite exactly why some of the 1989 cars are still in the showroom or why the dealership hasn't been sold/revamped/demolished. In the second blog, after heading over there and taking a ton of…
What a story! What happened afterwards? Im curious to find out how much your insurance valued the M3 for? Did you use a settlement cheque to buy 10 E92 M3 Coupes?
Or import an ultra rare 333i from South Africa.
That's a great story. Congrats!
Like Mike says in the article, E30 M3s are the most hyped up sports cars in recent history. Most likely for all the right reasons. I've owned an E30 325i, grew up in a 320i Convertible, and tracked a 318i at Mosport Raceway. I'm sure that the E30 M3 is epic. But from an investor's point of view, it is articles like…
If you can't afford an overpriced E30 M3 and live in the Africa region may I suggest picking up an ultra rare 333i. South Africa-only, used mainly in touring car racing but mass produced for the regular public in lieu of the M3.

In my book, these guys should have been out of business a long time ago. The only credit they'll ever get from me is for adding a bit of 'want' to the BMW 5 Series GT.
Like I said before, Porsche will be more than happy to suggest the manual purist towards the GT3 RS - a car where less=more money for Porsche.
Yeah, you got it.
You may be right, the PDK is there to go faster, but the lack of any sort of serious/carbon/racing bucket seat is inexcusable.
Someone shop the beige off of the side profile picture. It'll give us a sneak peak at the Ghost Drophead.
It must be difficult working as a designer or engineer at Rolls Royce since they can't make any quantum leaps in technology or design anymore, yet they still need to justify the astronomical asking prices.
My thoughts exactly. I hope everyone opts to delete "PORSCHE" and only leave the GT3 on the rear. Otherwise it does look too busy at the back,... too aftermarket.
Porsche will just tell their clientele to opt for the upcoming GT3 RS. It's all part of Porsche's ploy to get more and more customers opting for the less=more expensive RS models. No ??? here, just plain $$$PROFITS$$$.
