M3s are a completely different ballgame. If people are getting $7500 for clean E30s these days, you'd have to be a fool to buy one. Nothing has changed in the intrinsic value or fun factor of the cars since they were $2500-3k. And they sold a gazillion of them.

I've owned the nicest E30 imaginable back when it was a like-new car. They are *alright*. With all of the hundreds of used car choices out there that are either undervalued or at least "fair valued", you never buy something that is grossly overvalued. And old E30s for those prices are grossly overvalued, IMO.

I've seen clean ones in the junk yard for years, maybe the supply really is drying-up. Very ordinary cars, though.
