    it's probably already sold if you haven't bought it yet, you are doing it wrong.

        No, I already bought it. Those are my pictures haha. Guess I didn't make that clear my bad.

        Any tips on owning an e30? Or just suggestions for the car in general? I've heard talk about chips and such but don't really know anything about them. Worth investing in?

            change the oil and other neglected maintenance. lower it and take care of the old and worn out bushings/ball joints. then worry about power.

              Yeah of course. But other than changing the the oil and the timing chain I'm not sure what's considered neglected maintenance.

              Hey terry. It was as smooth as silk! Shifts great, no weird noises, nothin. I'ma gonna need to change the instrument cluster asap though. Not only does the odometer not work, neither does the fuel gauge, temperature gauge, or the tachometer. Also, if you come across a catalytic converter let me know. Can't pass emissions without it.

                The first "power" mod I would do would be to replace the stock flywheel with one from a 325i, much lighter, will make your car feel more alive. Then I'd get a full tune up, chip, and then lose some weight
