my new DD

I've gotten tired of spending $500 a month on fuel for the M5, so i picked up my 9th BMW (5th E30) and i'm stoked, this little booger kicks ass!

now take a stab at what model it is

Looks like a Macau (sp) blue M3.

I would say a M40 316 touring. does it have the M tech blue pinstriped seats in it?

ding ding winnar!

It's actually a 1994! I think i have one of the latest model E30's on this board! funny thing is the motor is a single cam, M40 i think.

here is one of the interior



I just got it off the lift, looks like it's going to need some live

CAB bad
front shocks are bad
the fuel line is bad
the brake line (the long ass one) is bad
fuel tank corroded and leaking.

so it looks like the tank needs to be replaced, while doing that i'm more than likely going to break the exhaust (corroded) and i should replace the center support bearing, guilbo etc while i'm in there :(

what can i expect though, a $480 car will more than likely need some extra love

heated seats are wonderful for the winter. A guy I work with has the same car, but in the purple shade, witht the same interior in purple. the seats are worth more than the car on this forum.

how bad is the cam, lifters ticking? thats about the only bad part of those motors.

looks like a nice car.

But a fuel miser. wow cheap, someone pcsing and needed to dump it? Swap another engine in since you don't need to comply with TUV.

I may be coming to germany in the spring. If I do, I'm buying and shipping a new interior for my touring. it's decided

[JeffNJM3]

I notice its only got the two power window switches on the center console, so its the power front and manual rear windows, right? I never understood that crazy euro option. I'd rather have power rears, cause i cant reach them!

Nice car, even nicer price, I can't wait for these cars to be 25 years old
