Whenever I do a nationwide search for E30 M3s there dealership always come up. The cars seem pricey, but then again they are in excellent condition and they are collector cars. I would probably trust buying an M3 through those guys than some of the horror stories I've heard recently about people buying E30 M3s from private sellers.

I drove by that place and took a few pics, but I didnt know if I'd get a bagel response from TCL. It's on the northside of Cincy and there's an awesome indoor climbing place nearby.

I bought my E30 318is from them, they are a bit pricey on stuff, but they do quality work and know their stuff, and did a bunch of work maintenance work on my car that he didn't charge me for before I bought it, I'd buy from them again.

E30 M3's are greatly overpriced these days. Yes they have a great history and are rare (kinda) blah blah blah, but its a 20 year old car, that will need work no matter what. And they are very finiky to keep in good running order. Defenitly not a daily driver...

I actually met the guy who runs this place when I was at Formula One in Indianapolis a couple years back (the Ferrari parade lap F1 "race" when Michelin told their teams to not run ), he was sitting next to us. He was a cool dude and knew his shiz, I keep meaning to check that place out when I'm home visiting family. Looks like a cool place!

Been by this place a few times. Never went to look at the cars since I'm afraid I'll buy one or hate the experience of talking with the owner.Never meet your heros. There's actually 2 more BMW places in Cincinnati that are well worth looking at. In fact, there's a place off of Red Bank Rd where I got about 80% of my parts for my old 635.

I daily drive my E30 M3, they make an awesome daily. They aren't that expensive to keep on the road, just regular maintenance. Good mileage, great cruiser, plentiful parts and aftermarket. Nice, original, clean examples are hard to find and keep marching up in value.

Clean, solid, original E30 M3's are mid to upper $20's now. There really aren't that many unmolested survivors out there anymore. Only 5,000 were shipped over here, a lot of nice ones have been shipped back to overseas buyers. It seems like half the 5,000 were rebuilt wrecks, totaled, raced, etc.. Not many nice one's left. I predict prices will be back where they were new, as in the mid $30's within a couple of years.

I do like how they have about 5 M3's all stock, yet on every single add they make sure to write 'very rare find'. Prices don't seem out of line for quality and beucase you are buying from a dealer. Something about this place having all those E30's makes me sick though...spread the wealth!

I found his site a few years ago when it was called, I think, carfinders.com.Earlier this year I was really interested in one of the E36 Estoril m3 sedans. My parents were heading to Cincy for a wedding so I had my dad check it out for me, since he knows a lot about older bimmers. He said it was good from far, but far from good and would need a lot of work in the not too distant future. I had spoken to the owner several times and he kept telling me it needed nothing, blah blah blah. I'd rather he would just be up front about what needed done, but don't try to be coy about it. Oh well. he does seem to usually have a good assortment of cars

Check the Cover of May 2009 Classic Motorsports it reads: "Future Classics: Put these cars in your garage today, before their values skyrocket." A Henna E30 M3 is front and center.
It seems that every other month there is a article about E30 M3's in one of the enthusiast mags - the demand keeps going up and the supply is getting very slim. We started '09 with about 15 E30 M3's and currently have 3 that are not spoken for yet. To all those that think the prices on them are very steep - check the market - several in the last 6 months have sold for $25K+ - there are two floating around wanting $60K! <- these guys are a little ahead of the times, but that is where the market is going. What makes a car collectible? -Racing pedigree -Low production -High demand when new check, check and check. Our cars are hand-picked from enthusiasts and collectors around the country - that is why they are all extremely clean and priced accordingly - they represent the top 5-10% condition left on the road. Like the old saying goes, "you get what you pay for."

I don't think anyone was implying that you were overcharging, just that the price of these cars has become crazy.
