The red 324td is all but on the way to the new owner in CA, the blue 320i now lives in NY somewhere with someone on r3v, and the silver 318i now lives in TN with r3ver Heitzke (and yes, a scooter fits just fine).
In the case of E30 tourings, parting really does make the heart grow fonder. I'll get another one some day.

That will be a nice Touring when finished! Was there much rust to be repaired before painting? In addition to the normal areas (bottom of fenders and doors, rockers), mine has a surprising amount of rust in the rear wheel wells. Thankfully, the rear hatch is rust free.

Yea some in the rear quarters that was completely removed and repaired. They did a really nice job of removing it, repairing it, and undercoating everything so it wont return and also the battery box they patched up a bit. Not the best repair in that area but completely neutralized and undercoated.

Only thing I could tell was rusty in the rear so far has been the fuel line evap cover thing. Basically disintegrating in the passenger rear. I need to poke around some more... but I sorta don't want to'89 318i Touring

Haven't found all that much on mine yet. Just started really knocking around yesterday. Little rust on bottom side of the hatch, bit underneath the rockers, and bottom of the fenders (that was already sealed).

Do check for further rust ASAP, after all, it won't be any cheaper to repair later on and can cause more issues in the interim.
Rust is the enemy!
Pics of rear self leveling system and the balls (accumulators) a goofy rare option as far as I can tell:
