    ^ I'm certainly no E30 expert, but I think that 325e looks pretty good. As long as you're willing to fix the head gasket with the included parts, or get someone to fix it for you.

    Either way, as long as there aren't any other major issues, it seems like it fits well with what you're looking for.
    Still lookin' for my first E30..... Oh well, not anymore.

      Exactly but he said its in no condition to drive it home 300 miles so it'll be tough to arrange. I'm trying though.

          I probably sound annoying but being on a tight budget like I am, I really can't afford to fly out to Cali to drive back a mildly sketchy e30. I need to find one close so I can get t home and then start to work out any kinks. Is there anybody in nc who would do the head gasket job for the e30 in my previous post?

                ^ this is an example of someone who had nothing better to do than to go out of his way to type a negative comment on a teenagers Internet post. Funny thing is there're many people on here helping me with my search supporting the fact that an e30 can be found for around 1k$, so honestly waffleswaffleswaffleswaffles-boy, get off my thread.

                  MokinWeet- kudos to you for having learned how to be so eloquent at such a young age. I love that last post. You CAN find a car for $1-2k but it will need some work as many have said, but you can do it. Not everyone has 3-4 k to buy a car with, good luck with your search. If anything pops up near me I'll let you know.

                    Thanks man, I understand I'm not going to get a very nice e30 on my budget but the fact is I don't have anymore to spend and I want a Bmw in my life haha.
                    I actually just started talking to a guy with a 325e who is local, I'm feeling pretty good about this one. If there is any enthusiasts in North Carolina who would like to go look at it with me I would be willing to pay you.

I am also on the hunt for another e30. that same shop actually has another e30 sitting around so i may have to go ask them about it:) Good luck bud!

                        Thank you for story and your support. The one I'm looking at now has an insane amount of miles but it'll have to work for now haha. Good luck on finding another e30 man!

                          You'll find one, they are definitely out there. I've bought 3 for under 1k in NC that drove just fine.

                            Oh you're from NC as well, very cool. After I go look at this 325e, hopefully I but it and I'd love to meet some other e30 owners.

                              Mileage should not be a worry, you are gonna build it yourself anyway, right?

                                Ill probably try to daily it for as long as I can and when this power plant dies on me a swap will be inevitable as long as the chassis is worthy.
