    Any Known problems with E30?

    Hey,
    I'm new to the E30, but not to BMW. Currently own '12 X5, in the past have owned 2009 X5 in Germany, E30 M5 in Germany(If I remember correctly) and E32 318is in Germany and US.
    I just inherited an E30 vert from my father in-law, and need to know if there are any known issues which I can fix.
    Looks like it has a K&N intake and Racing Dynamic Strut Brace. New leather interior and new canvas on top. Sorry, no pics right now
    Any input? Also, any popular mods I should know about?
    Thanks!
    Porsche-BMW... All the same, right?

                      The biggest issue I've had is since I purchased my e30 7 years ago is that I've fathered dozens of illegitimate children since women can no longer resist me, and I have no time to myself as all men want to be around me. If you can deal with those issues the car is worth the troubles, I guess.

                                  Tis true... chicks dig the E30.

                                  I've had about 2 dozen people offer to buy the car from me... and it's an Eta. But also, E30s tend to be more rare this side of the border.

                                  Can't tell you how many random people have started conversations in parking lots over the car.
