if you were me

My only question is... why haven't you bought it yet?

I have been in the market for one for so long... preferably without a motor.
The last one I came across went for 2.75k without the motor and the body was in great shape.

If the car is in good shape I would definately go for it. Remember there were a series of different motors that came with the e30 m3 with different horsepower ranges.

Initial Motor/Evolution I 2.3 1987-1989 - Power: 195hp @ 6750rpm Torque: 169lb @ 4750rpm

Second Motor 2.3 1989-1990: Power: 215hp @ 6750rpm Torque: 170lb @ 4600rpm

Third Motor/Evolution II 2.5 1990-1991: Power: 220hp @ 6750rpm Torque: 181lb @4750rpm

Last Motor/Evolution III 2.5 1989-1990: Power: 238hp @ 7000rpm Torque: 177lb @ 4600rpm

Also, the car only weighs 2600 pounds stock.

The only thing I would worry about is who has owned the car before you. If they haven't been tending to it, which is a very unlikely thing because of the rarity of the vehicle, then it may not be in decent shape.

If you feel that the car isn't for you please give me some more info....

Thanks
