    Question: 318is has trouble up hills?

    A 318is I am looking at for $1100 says it has trouble up the steeper hills in SF. Would this be true of a healthy 318is?

        They probably just suck at driving. That's a steal for that car.

          looks a hell of a lot better than my car when I got it.

          Go for it.

            Seems like a steal - find out where the oil leaks are!

              Buy it and figure out all the issues afterwards......thats a steal of a price by far.

                Buy it, figure it out later. That's a great price for a relatively clean E30 regardless of the issues posted. Go buy it now.

                      4th gear is best for going up steep hills at 25mph, right?
