Hi,
Just found another 1987 730i. Already fitted with e38 rims and black leather seats. Nothing fancy on electronics. Asking price lower than local market rate... typical US$6700, but offered at US$3000, which is in range of 1983/84 e30 price list...

While i already own 1988 730i, should i get this e32 adding to my existing e32?

Just getting opinions...

thanks...

The question is what are you doing with that car in addition to the cars you have. I have the same problem. At the moment I have 5 E32 750iL, out of that 2 Highline versions under reconstruction, plus a Citroen 2CV Charleston with only 1.200 km on the clock in almost 20 years.
I will reduce my car pool for sure. because I cannot drive them all.
If I drive the Citroen, people watch that car, because the car is very seldonm in Japan, less than Ferrari.
So ask yourselves: can you also drive the car? Or just buy it?
Buying is the easiest part, maintaining it.....

You wouldn't be paying more that £500 GBP for that in the UK. They are worth nothing. Tidy 1987 730i Auto is about £350 on Ebay.
I have a 1989 730iSE Manual with 250'000 miles (400'000km) with black leather, OBC, cruise, BBS original wheels and I would say it's worth £300 maximum. I am looking at buying another one either to use as spares or to use alongside mine - i.e use the other one whilst one is being repaired. I am bidding on two at the moment - a 1991 730i Auto for £150 and a 1990 735i for £350.

What I really want is a 1991 ish 735i 5 speed manual for £500. If I could find a dechromed 89/90 SWB 750i with a ruined gearbox for £2-300 I'd buy it and sort out a manual gearbox for it :-)

These are crazy prices. Have a look at what you pay in OZ for a half decent M30 735iL
