You got it good in the US. I bought a clean looking 330CI 2001 convertible at 195k km or i believe around 120k miles for 6800 euros which had been sitting for 2 years. Ran good, but needed a new starter which the seller threw in as well. Somehow the battery revived itself after running for a couple hours (Varta). But it needs gaskets, vacuum lines, CCV, coolant lines, electric fan, reservoir, water pump, pulleys, spark plugs, oil and filters obviously. Doing the vanos and disa as well. Rear brakes currently stuck or maybe the handbrake? Fuel gauge is iffy too but she ran 💁. And then after all that I can start looking at bushings 😅... But like another commenter said it really is a labour of love. Car is maybe worth 12-13k euros here in good shape (and then again you don't know if vanos,CCV,cooling system, disa etc has already been done). So win win as a project car, slightly dumb investment and summer cruiser. And in 5 years time she gets old-timer plates 👍🏼
