Curious why you're only interested in years that came with the airbag steering wheel? (since there is a fabricator involved i'm thinking it'll be a project car).

The 89 models did not have the airbag, 90 was the first year to have one.

Are you looking for a coupe, sedan, convertible, M3, iX, etc?

Good question.. I'm probably showing more ignorance versus preferences: coupe preferred, sedan but no IC. Indifferent on the IX but don't know how much of a challenge there is if having to swap auto to 5spd.

I'm really in search of a quality car......... You have one?!?!

I have a similar thread going and I've had some great offers. I'll PM you some links as they, for one reason or another, weren't what I was looking for but are awesome cars. Welcome to the trophy e30 hunt. Get ready to lose your mind.

It just looks like you have a plan for the car, but for the right people to offer their car to you you should post as many requirements as you can. "Quality car" can mean a lot of things (showroom condition stocker, or properly swapped hot-rod, etc) so give some specifics about what your master plan is (such as a complete 24v engine swap, or building a caged track car, or a mild weekend driver creampuff etc).

Back when i was searching for my first E30, i first educated myself about the differences between the various years and models and determined what i wanted and did not want, then it became clear that it had to be an 89 325is only as no other year or model met my specific requirements (non-airbag, plastic bumpers, ellipsoid headlights, pop-out quarter windows, iS front lip and rear decklid spoiler, premium stereo, OBC, electric windows and sunroof).

It still took me about a year of searching and test-driving until i finally found a nice example and as soon as he opened the garage i was sure i was probably going to buy it. I only took the test-drive to make sure there were no catastrophic problems with the engine and drivetrain, and to find out what mechanical or suspension stuff needed fixing since i was already over-paying for a very clean example.

You have one?!?!

I do have a fairly nice one, but i'm not ready to sell it yet (maybe later this summer if i don't chicken out again LOL).

Thanks to Mafia Racers in Portland .. My search is done. Bought a gem today... And for the next few weeks the auto gets swapped for a 5spd + 3 pedals, 3.73 LSD, ss brake lines, and some clean up work... Not to mention the 15" BBSes that were waiting to be mated to the right car! Munich Motor Works in Portland gets a shoutout as well!!!
