I eagerly await the e-backlash when someone brings an E30 M3 to Lemons where it will surely be crushed.

I dont see that happening, unless it was just the shell with a ETA engine and a 325 suspension. The 5 lug suspension on a M#  e30 alone is worth $500.

There are quite a few really rusted out shells out there, But it would be alot of work to make one into a Lemons car.
