i need a 4000$ bmw

currently i have a 1989 cadillac deville that is bluebooked at $4000. I received it two years ago as a gift from my grandma when she passed away. The problem is that as an 18 year old student, it is too complex for me to fix problems on it. I was hoping to find a mid-80s 3 series for about $4000 that will run well as a summer vacation car.... Any suggestion?? what years have the most reliable transmissions, engines, etc.? thanks for your help.

I just purchased a 4000.00 bmw I would go with the e30 3 series and closer to 86-91 this way most of the manufacturing and reliability problems were solved. Go with a manual transmission.

yep i agree u can get 85 to 89 model something like that

how much do E30 M3's cost over in the US. they ar4e fantastic cars, in alot of peoples opinion better than the E36 or E46

I believe they are still selling in the teens. And if it is in good shape shouldn't go any lower than that since it is such a great and unique car.

I have a 1984 BMW 318 i for sale in Ottawa Ontario, Canada if you are interested. $3500 CDN. Runs great and body is good. Interior needs work. Email me for some photos.
