buy new e30 or work on mine

[Cliche Guevara]

Fix her up. I always feel better about investing in a car that you know is mechanically sound than taking the plunge and buying something new with a bunch of unknowns. You have a pretty clean car right now, with a little bit of work it'll look pretty nice and you'll have the added bonus of knowing that you made it happen.

They all need work. You can buy one that's better than yours and it will still bug you. To make the car perfect, you'll need to do paint and interior on most e30s out there.

Just keep it. Don't get lured into the appeal of something "new"

This. New just means new problems. At least you know where you stand with your current car.

be patient and DD it untill you find a super clean one, buy super clean one and than fix up your old one.
