We groove on BMWs. We also like wagons. Blonde girls in tight dresses elicit a raised eyebrow of approval from many of us too. Today, brings you all three for $15,000.

Yesterday, you didn't have to one-hit-wonder much about the Mercedes ML55, with 54% of you blessing its $14,000 price tag as nice-pricetastic. Today, we're going back to Germany for something with a little less celebrity, but greater rarity. Plus there's a girl!

The E30 3 series was the last of the boxy beemers. Upright and formal, with tidy styling, and available in four body styles: two-door, four-door, convertible and estate, which BMW tagged Touring.

Today's 325i Touring, as presented by the impersonator in the ad, was the one body style never imported to the land of mono-linguists, despite its handsome proportions and potentially easy federalization. The only smallish German wagons offered at that time in the U.S. were the VW Quantum and Mercedes Benz E-Class, neither of which was as compact, nor flingable as the BMW 3 series. The Benz is typically driven by scotch-drinking soccer moms, and the Quantum only finds love these days with out of work MIT grads, and yuppies without the means to own a Volvo. This little family hauler would have fit an Audi A4 Avant-esque niche at the time, but, BMW didn't see fit to bring the body style over, and in fact denied the U.S. release for small kraut-wagon hard-ons until the E46 update, two generations later.

Under the hood, the SOHC M20 engine is stout and puts out 171bhp in Euro-guise, which should move the Beemer's ton and a half weight with reasonable alacrity. The seller offers a laundry list of updated consumables and notes a rare armrest/cupholder as a valuable incentive to purchase. Countering that is the 200K on the clock, which is 124,000 miles to those of you metriphobes. That's a lot of Autobahnstorming, and the 3-series, while sturdy, only have so much life in them, so take that into consideration. It's also important to note that this car is not kitted like most U.S.-bound cars were; it's mostly manual, with hand-crank windows and sunroof, and lacking factory A/C.

So what do you think of this E30 Estate? Is fifteen grand a nice price for so rare a wagon? Or is the only thing it's hauling is a big-ass case of crack pipe?

You decide!
