    Hi

    Hey everyone. My name is Dylan and I just bought an e30. It is a 1991 318i m42 white sedan 5 speed. I used to have a '88 Festiva, but the engine went out and I needed a new car. I managed to persuade my parents to let me get an e30 because my friend Jonathan (KI4UJO) has one and knows his way around it.

    I is very nice, it has a glass pack, tight suspension and has been lowered but Im not sure how much. Interior is near mint, except I need a back seat cause the old one was from a e34, as are my front seats, which I am considering trading.
    Body is solid but it has rust and the clear coat is peeling. The odo is broken.
    The real thing that is a problem is the fact it is extremely difficult to start. From what my friend said it needs a Coolant Temp Sensor. We also replaced all the vac hoses cause they were covered in duct tape.
    I have also de riced it. I had ugly clear tail lamps that I changed to stock, and ugly red LEDs that went around the cabin that lit up when the lights came on.

    But thats that. Cant wait to fix up a few things and get this thing nice!

          If you have a Photobucket you can upload them through there. It'll probably work with other sites too, but I'm not sure..

                          I agree. If I manage to get a set of bottle caps... do you think anyone on here would like to buy these?

                              Well the thing is, I have a friend who has bottle caps for real cheap... so if someone could match that price...
