On the market for an E30, what do I look for?

[Airsep]

Thanks.

Yeah, I just rented a uhaul truck from them on Butler and the guy that installs hitches has a clean E30. Good paint. He said he knows alot about them. That he rebuilt his own motor and changed heads and stuff??
We talkd a little bit before asking how much he wanted for his car lol
needless to say, too expensive for me.

I use to work on subarus and built my old Sti from the ground up. Bought it was ablown motor and it was converted to RWD. I rebuilt it and made it back to AWD and sold it for profit.

Do you work for Gore? I have a lot of friends who work there.

Congrats on graduating.

Nah, I am an Engineer here in town. I didn't know the Uhaul (I rent car trailers from them occasionally) had an employee with an E30. I'll keep an eye out the next time I swing by.

Hey, I see you're in Flagstaff.
I just graduated from NAU and moving down to phoenix sunday.

You're not the guy I just talked to that works at uhaul in town are you?
Marcus was his name? Silver E30 with bronze rims.

I have been out of the Facebook scene for awhile, I might have to get it back once I move back to Phoenix.
Thanks for the insight.

There is an 'AZE30s' Facebook group that may be a worthwhile resource for you.

I too would avoid an iX, especially in Phoenix. Just no point at all. More complex, slower, and parts are harder to find. All for no real gain.

[dnguyen1963]

You live in Phoenix so there is no need for an iX. iX parts can be more expensive and harder to find. I live in a snow heavy region and never had a problem with my 325IC RWD. I would stay away from an iX.

[Airsep]

Noted!
Thanks.
For now I am saving up my pennies and will purchase one in late June/early July.

Also, I came across and ix.
Stay away? Buy?
Or is the AWD not worth it?

[MR E30 325is]

You literally just missed the car for you.

It was an 89 325is, priced at 6k, for sale on the PHX clist.

Good luck with your search. You happen to want the E30 that just about everyone wants, so if you find one you like I'd recommend you jump on it with haste. The iS models will disappear very quickly.

Well I think I've set my mind on having a 6cyl 325is. I like the sound of it.
Getting a 4cyl and trying to turbo my daily sound like a nightmare. lol have to see how hard it is to map the ecu, if it possible, or get a standalone. Seems like a pain.
I'd be content with a stock 6 cylinder. Maybe buy a second motor and donhigh compression. Or maybe swapndown the road. I just want a good car for the next 3 years. And I want one that I can invest money into. I prefer the rarer cars. Don't want to put money into the less sought after model.

Beyond the link just spend some time searching or just browsing the forum as this one has been covered seemingly millions of times. When you've done that try to test drive all of the engines (if you want a stock one) instead of deciding just on numbers.

Corrected for you.
