    looking to buy an e30

    I have a good selection of models and year in my area but im down to two. Now I'm looking for a decent DD that is drift capable and ok in a straight like like 14s and atleast able to keep up with a bolt on nodded KA. First is a 90vert stock 325i second is a 91vert 318i m50b25 swap. Possible pro vs cons? Also been reading and I'm seeing that the m50s are point less and stick with a m20 but also read thatm50 are more responsive to bolt ons. Also not ever planning on a turbo, I see stroker in the future but no turbo. Want to run on lowering springs and dampers and a 10 and a 500watt amp (easly removeable set up like a box with quick release connectors.) Also am not gutting car. In short an e30 that still is luxery but can perform better then stock.

                Do this. I promise you won't regret it. I can say though, I don't know why you want to participate in motorsports with a vert. I prefer a big ass steel cage around me.
