Yes, original body panels with original paint mostly. I would guess front bumper likely resprayed at some point as it looks so good.

EAG eh? Those cars are always immaculate...but come with the price, and then some.

Beautiful car. I remember in 2006 when I had a chance to pickup a clean '88 with 70K miles on it....for $13k. Damn.

If its from EAG it should be really nice! I bought my 91 from them and although it was pricey, it is nearly perfect and all the high dollar stuff was already completed. Well worth it IMHO. I also remember when these were $10k cars. I had several and sold several. I paid the price when I had to have another one. GLWS. BTW, did you talk to Eric about buying it back?

CarreraX, yes I did some time back but we couldn't agree on a price. Also not in a rush to sell. I have a deep 3 car garage (yes its painted M colors) that could probably fit 4 cars if I stuck this in the corner using wheel dollies. Wife thought I was crazy. If no sale I'll keep and no dedicated track car, I'll just use my dd which is an F80 M3 6MT.

That is a polite way of saying EAG is horribly overpriced, which it is. They get destroyed daily on bimmerpost lol.

To the OP, beautiful car and good luck with the sale! And how are you liking your F80?

Thank you. Love the F80. Have had it for a year and a half now, its my daily driver. Tolerates winters in MD with snow tires, plenty of room in the back for my family, and plenty of car for the track. But for some reason I'm still addicted to classic cars and prefer them..

Well... they don't call the E30 God's Chariot for no reason!

Bump for you I had four of these.

I sold one to eag. They started off with a good business model and then got greedy. You can't corner the entire market.

Naw... no way. The E36 is a cool car and whatever, but doesn't have the proper motor (in the US) and also doesn't have the history/story/lineage of the E30.

They're also way crappier than the E30 - It's hard to explain - Cost cutting to the max in the E36.

Although, a nice/low mileage E36 M3 does command a premium, but it's one of those in-between cars, kind of like the 996 of BMW.
