Hey guys, greetings. ...
I'd like to know if anyone knows the whereabouts of these cars, (the bmw e30s ) in the country. If anyone knows where a neat good shaped one can be found, please post a comment let's talk.
Preferably a 2 door (coupe)...
I'll post pictures to help the description

Looks like I'll have to keep this thread on the first page
I guess I'll do that by dropping tips about the car daily

The production of this particular ride began in the year 1982 and ended in the year 1993

Anybody seen anyone yet? ? ?


The e30 models were powered by a range of four cylinder and straight six engines. ..

I'm down for the straight six engines but if the four cylinder is at hand. .... let's talk

This car is getting really scarce. Even e30 parts. Came across a convertible e30 325 in kaduna. It's still lying in the mechs workshop. Great body but dude has changed the engine to a 1.6 or something. Still can't fix the car and doesn't want to sell.

Wish you luck, I'm on the hunt for one too

Good examples cost an arm, leg, heart and possibly life savings...........

My friend owned the diesel version of this ride, guess he still own it. #200 naira fuel then took us places, but if fuel. Finish for that car while on a journey, you will hate yourself.

Don't blame us, we were students back then and it wasn't easy fueling cars. I think diesel was around 70 to 80 something per litre then

I have a sedan, but its 6 cyclinder tho. I guess u live in abj cus many guys in abj are inspired by darknight motorsports e30 drift cars.

Naa, I'm actually in the east. I have seen a couple too but sedans .
I'd really prefer a coupe.
I'm fast, sporty, racy..... but for me it's all for the love of classic German engineering

Wow, pictures of the convertible won't be bad sir

Perhaps when next I head there. Wanted to buy myself but owner won't sell.
I'll mention you soon

Not really Lexus. Few people cherish classics here and don't really know the value. With 500k I'm certain an owner can be convinced to sell his old bucket.
Only if I could export these classics to the US. Haha

Anyone that drives an E30 in Nigeria and maintains it to a high standard, knows the true value of the GEM they own.
But we have those that don't know, when you see the condition, you would not even open your cheque book (if the seller accepts cheques) or you would simply not bother heading to the bank or ATM machine........

Gas Monkey would surely be pleased..........

I actually saw one not long ago, but with some previous experience with restoring classic vehicles in Nigeria, I decided against buying it.
Wasn't looking too bad for an over 25year old car struggling to survive in Nigeria, but after considering sourcing for oem parts( of course importation ) in this naira predicamented time , I decided against it.
Wiring was history, but it started and idled nicely at a one trial
I'll post pictures of it.

But that's not to say that anyone sighed by anyone be it worse looking should be overlooked abeg.

500k is even on the high side

Hey nice coupe version there, pls here is my number i am intrested in that coupe e30. Pls call 08167161773. Is it in abuja

That so?..... bad news is that it's at Owerri and I'm not in Owerri.
Saw it during one of my travels to that area.
But I've got someone there who can check if it's still available and maybe get the sellers number for you if you still want it.

Got some pictures today

These cars were heralded as the 7th wonder of the world. The E30 won awards throughout its production run from 1982 to 1992. To find one in a pretty good shape today is a pretty long shot. Best you find someone to import one from Europe if u wanna get one with some life in it. else you have to look really really really hard within the country, there could be some hidden away in garages. I came across one in April but had a smoking engine. Body was perfect with almost no major dents at all. I'm not sure if it's still around. Vehicle was in Jos - BMW 320i. Am also a big fan of the E30, even though it's a classic, I wanna drive one with with plenty of life ahead of it so am Prepping to import one

I see such and I just can't help but feel disappointed. ..
We're you able to find out why exactly it was abandoned?

Would have loved to take the importation lane. .. but one has got to cut his singlet according to his cloth man.
The Dollar isn't smiling at all.
Still hope to find one here, and please once the body is in top shape, let me worry about the engine. ..... in case you come across another one

Youre right Jo, I see a few adverts on OLX though, theres a white one that caught my eye. It looks like a pre-'88 model and may not have the 2.5 liter engine we so crave for, but it had all the curves of a sporty car, engine pic looked nice too and best of all its a coupe. situated at Ifako Ijaye area if its close to you, why not check it out.

How about a web link sir

BlackJo:

Check it out on OLX. I tried pasting the link but it keeps getting truncated. Search for BMW on the site and it should pop up on the second page. It's the only white E30 couple there

It looked cool abi? me sef i vex as i contacted the owner only to hear its no longer available. means there are hunters out there for the Bavarian masterpiece. especially with the dark knight drift craze going on. but i believe better deals will surface
