BrIaN EG2 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 well i FINALLY found my pics of my bimmer so here they are hope you guys like them: Parked At Work, look at all the old ass military trucks in the background, lol Out In Front Of My Barracks Red, White, and Blue E30's Kind Of Ironic... lol these were when i first got the car and it was in okay condition, the guy that owned it before me didnt take car of it at all, it had a rust spot on the dirvers fender and the hood was black and was rusting, so i ordered a CF hood from the auto shop in downtown baumholder... what suprised me was that the guy at inspection said that i had one of the nicest E30's that he has seen in germany in a LONG time, i took that as a big compliment, seening that there are like a billion E30s running around in germany...

sup Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 E30 FTW. There was an E30 M3 for sale around here not too long ago for $13k with around 130,000 miles on the body and 30,000 on the new motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrIaN EG2 Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 yeah i love E30's and i really love mine, i want to send it back to the states but it costs too much to ship it because they have to convert it to US specs stupid 20 year old classic car rule, mine will be 19 years old when i go back to the states >_< but it would cost me $4,200 to get everything converted and i got the car for only $550 and dumped alot into it but the guy that wants to buy it offered $3,000 which will put me out on top about $1,000.. i really dont want to get rid of it though...

BrIaN EG2 Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 so... youre suggesting i should ship the E30 back to the states, clean it up a little more, and sell it for more profit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS John Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I always thought that BMWs were some of the most handsome cars on the road, regarless of what model or what year. Even old four doors like this look great to me (I know yours is two door but the one behind it in the third pic isn't). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrIaN EG2 Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 i dont like many models of BMWs but i LOVE the E30, they are beautiful if done the right way... if i do get rid of it im going to be depressed for a while :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubbith Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 So dont get ride of it. Sore it for a year and ship it back as a 20 year classic car... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrIaN EG2 Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 but there is just one tiny issue about that... im leaving germany 3 months after i get back from iraq, and i would get my friend to hold it for a year and then ship it, but i have to be there to sign the paper work when i drop it off and when i pick it up... and if i did get to keep it, that would be my DD b/c it gets great gas milage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastigir Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Why can't you just ship it right before you leave? You'll get back to the states way quicker than the car would. Also, I liked the old BMW 850. Never really was a fan of anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrIaN EG2 Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 b/c it cost 4,200 to ship it and i got the car for only 550 but i really dont want to let it go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastigir Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 b/c it cost 4,200 to ship it and i got the car for only 550 but i really dont want to let it go Then that's a decision that you have to make. I know in the Army you make money, and really don't have to spend too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchness Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Can you ship it back here, have it trucked to storage in the states, then wait the year to get it registered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrIaN EG2 Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 its not the registration that costs 4,200. its the initial shipping and converting to US specs because it is a Euro spec BMW (non shatter proof glass, KM/H gauges, needs different front and rear bumper supports, and a few other things i cant remember) the registration is not a problem its the converting thats costing all the money... im still debating it right now...

Mitchness Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I'm missing something then. What was the issue with it being a classic vehicle in a year for then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrIaN EG2 Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 by US law your car has to be 20 years old to be classified as a classic car... I go back to the states october 2009, my car on the other hand is a 1990, so it will be 19 years old when i go back to the states >_< that is my HUGE problem, oh and i cant change out the VIN number, already though of that, i cant because the VIN is stamped on the frame of my BMW.

Mitchness Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 So does that mean if it were a classic car then you wouldn't have to convert everything or what? IOW, what benefit would it bring you. All I know is that when your car turns classic you can order those cool brown license plates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrIaN EG2 Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 yeah the shipping/converting would change from $4,200 to $0 if it was a classic. i hate those stupid rules, why cant it be 19 years old as a classic >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
