(Like mine!)   heehee I've never heard them called orthapedic seats before! They are the rare 'proper' recaros seats, not the BMW made sport seats.

In fact I don't think they are the Recaro orthopaedic seats which have a flatter base. They look like the very nice optional Recaro sports seats based I think on the Recaro LS model.

But many people want cars without the options and will pay just as much if not more!!

When i looked for my car i wanted no options apart from the Recaros

Yeah, that's pretty much what I said!?

Mine is a '89 and has a cat' 215bhp engine. It had 15's still. I don't think 16" ever became 'standard'?

It does look a nice car but then mine could have been described just like that ad when I bought mine. (Until I started playing with it!) I bought mine for £6000 so I don't see where they get another £6000 from?

If the car sells for £13k then it's worth just that!

If it doesnt then the owner will either hold on to it, or lower his prices till it does.

"so why do most of you guys on here think that these cars are not worth that much money?

If it is a mint original car, rare to find in that condition, original. it has got to be worth more than some of your suggestions of 7k!

Lancia Integrale, RS500 cosworths and many expensive cars from that era still demand over 10k

My car is insured for 9k and when i sent the pictures to the broker they suggested i get the car re-valued as they felt it was worth more in the region of 12k and it is a non evo car. If you look at the prices in europe at the moment cars in excellent condition are being sold for as high as 25000 euros." unquote.

RS500 only bears price comparison with Sport Evo. A 1989 "cooking" Integrale with 70,000 would be well under 10k. Merc 190E EVO 2 maybe 35000 euros in mint condition, but the standard car, pennies. Yet this is the most direct and relevant historical rival to the M3, and cost more new.

I am not aware of any standard cars selling for anywhere near 25K euros, unless they have under, say 30,000 miles.

Obviously the market will decide, but I don`t know why genuine enthusiasts think it helps to overvalue these cars.

Is this the car that was in South Wales, advertised in the BMWCC mag just over a year ago for 8k, and recently on ebay, where it was unsold at 6800?

I have just got the ad out, and it doesn`t half sound like it-Diamond black. Recaros, wind up windows, air, 73k.

Can`t be more than one?

I recently bought my E30 M3 Cab on a K-92 with 57k on the clock for £10500....it's all about what someone wants to pay for a car, and as the years go by their only going to rise in price and I can't see them dropping.

I did see this too a while back on Ebay for a lot lower price, nice car though....
