New E30 318IS Owner saying hello

[Dust2glory]

First I would like to say Hello. I am a proud owner of a new E30 318IS owner. I have been browsing for E30's and have been waiting for the right one to come along and I really hit the jackpot with my first one. I found it locally too. I have been in the process of restoring a Datsun 510 and have been on the lookout for a 2002 or E30. I figured I would go with an E30, as my Datsun will be the old road warrior beast once it's finished and the E30 could give me some of comforts that the 510 will be lacking. The E30 will be a weekend occasional driver as I have a company vehicle for my daily driver. I plan to keep it completely stock. Just the little bit of driving I have done with it has been a ton of fun.

Here are the Details:
Diamond Schwarz
103K Miles
Immaculate inside and out. There is one super small repairable dime sized ding above the rear pass fender flair (seen in pic) and a few small touched up rock paint chips on the edge of hood.
Slicktop with the unique black head liner
Flawless original interior
Verified LSD via Diff tag and tire spin test
Some but not all Service records verifying mileage and history + Clean carfax
Original owners Manual and service manual with oil change stamps
Cool Skip Barber E30 driving school pamphlet that came with the car originally
Incredible Original Paint with all VIN tags intact
Nearly 100% OEM - with every window, radio, pwr antenna etc, working great
Converted R134 AC working flawlessly
Refreshed suspension/ Bilstein
Like New tool set and accessories
It runs like a champ

I took a few pics today with my phone. I will try to take some with my DSLR and add some more as soon as I get a chance.

This Q check pic is the original quality inspection sticker from Houston Texas still on the drivers rear window.

I just need to find some correct floor mats and enjoy it. I am super excited to have it and finally be part of the club.

Wow! Those seats are immaculate. You must have dropped quite a pretty stack to obtain it. Check Lloyd mats out

ya did good, kid!

[BillBrasky]

Nice. Haha, it even has the quality check sticker. I still have that on one of my cars.

Wow man! That thing is an absolute prime example of an e30. You def came out on top being that it's a 318is and that it's in such immaculate conditions.

I love that car. The m42 is a great motor. And the all the headliners came back for the 318is models. Only made in 1991 and only offered in manual.

Apparently the 1991 318's are always the cleanest examples! Just picked one up myself in Diamond Schwartz Metallic that's pretty damn close to immaculate as well, just as clean interior and it's only lowered with different wheels, love it! Welcome to the family!

Great find! Another extremely clean 318is checking in. I went with 1 series mats. They're a bit tight (the passenger one gets a little crease in it, where the e30 mat has a cutout) but otherwise fit great.

exceptional

[Dust2glory]

Thanks everyone. I actually ordered the 1 series mats last night. I took the kids for a spirited ride in it the other day and they insisted that I take them to school in it this morning.

Pic of your 510? Great find.

Wow that thing really is spotless. Nice score! Welcome.
