E30 M3

[Kosta Tombras <ctombras@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am going to be looking at a couple of 1988 M3s that are for sale in the
area.  Not being very familiar with E30 M3s, I would like to know of any
problem areas that I should look out for.  I did some web searches for E30
M3 web sites, but found nothing with any substantive information (other
than cool pictures).  Any pointers?  Finally, how do engine and/or
suspension modifications figure into the price.  Blue book for an '88 with
80-90,000 miles is $12,100.  But if the owner has invested $5-10K in mods
over the years, they shouldn't expect to recoup it all, should they?
Based on asking prices in the Roundel, that's what it looks like.

TIA,
