Ok so I found out today that if I buy a car older than 25 years. currently thats a 1980 model year then I dont have to convert anything to bring it back to the states. That means NO and I repeat NO DOT or EPA stuff. Ok now then what do I buy? what would you guys recomend? I was thinking a 2002 like a tii or maybe if I get lucky enough a turbo... how about a 3.0 CSL. please throw out some ideas for me. Thanks! OH and if I do get another e30, then I will go all AC Schnitzer with it, like Ryan did with Alpina.

Get a 3.0CSL or an early E30 if you are going to be there for 3 years. My 323i is 22 currently. Find one of them and by the time you are coming back it will be 25 years old. -
a 79 911 Turbo would be a good choice, if you have the balls...BEERTECH

ohh boy, your really dreaming now!!! a 3.0CSL, or a 2002 turbo--- there is no way in the world you wiould be able to afford that on a salary from the airforce. Its great to dream though! buy a E21 and go ahead and drop a 3.5 into it!Comment

Try a tuner car? In the English mags there are always really cool old Alpinas and such.

its not like the cars that you all are talking about are to be found over here in germany.
I think ive seen maybe 5 or 6 real ALPINA E30s in the last 10 years over here, and never a ALPINA E21.
when a car gets older than 10 years old they are pretty much gone from the world. the TUV standards are really hard over here and once a car starts getting cancer, good bye! Its not like the germans can just pull the old car up behind the barn and let it turn into a flower box either, they are really strict about that stuff here too.
your best bet to finding a good car are to search: mobile.de or autoscout24.de
good luck, there are still some cool cars out there to be had, you just gotta look really hard.Comment
