:-)

it was fun looking through this whole thread for other early 318i owners .. not many out there and I only saw one with an LSD. I'm pretty sure mine does, that's what I'm really looking to find out.

Yup - LSD! :D

Caught up I think. If I missed you, let me know.

Once again, if you are just tuning in... feel free to post VINs - no promises on turn around time. May be a day, week, or a month. Usually the decoder works back to about 1983-84, older than that and it gets iffy (but post'em anyway to try). I'd love to see if some Alpinas or Hartges decode. Please post VINs here and not by PM.

WOW I am really impressed.. It actually notes the conversion at the end..
To bad the Alpina e21 I have is to old.. Its also a Baur.. There is alot of debate going on about it.. If it was a Alpina that was then make into a Baur or the other way around.

THANKS.. and I was not trying to guilt you.. Really making sure you were Ok.. Then I saw you post about the 1 series.. but that was after I looked here Honest..

So what do you drive in the winter? Im guessing the e30 is tucked away in a dry warm garage,,

Sad to say, the E30 is the daily driver for me. I've driven it two winters in Ohio salt and snow - and it has always been an Ohio car all its life. I do take the Kopis off and use the stock bottlecaps during the winter months. It was 60 degrees the other day and i got spring fever and put the Kopis back on - it looked so much better... then it snowed the next day! :(

Thanks Aaron!

I am finding e30 ETA cars down here for under a grand every few months. I just picked up 2 for $500 for the 24 hours of Lemons race in July..
So if your looking for a winter ride let me know.. Yea I know winters almost over.. but I can keep my eyes open for next year..

I grew up in Mich.. so I know about the salt.. I always took my 67 Mustang off the road for the winters, I drove a Gremlin one winter, a cougar and a diesel rabbit after that. Then I moved to FL.. and now the worse decision i need to worry about is what to drive in the rain. OK and avoiding old people in caddys..

many thanks :up:

Also I noticed the options on the Baur are in german.
I used Altavista babblefish to translate..
WAERMESCHUTZGLAS GRUEN, RUNDUM = GLASS FOR PROTECTING AGAINST HEAT GREEN, ALL AROUND


LM RAD/SPEICHENSTYLING = LM WHEEL/SPOKE STYLING
It has BBS wheels so Im guessing thats what this means..

the other one I can understand.. RE power antenna.

Very cool.. I do also have a LSD.. I wonder if that was added later.?

Funny, I was itching to bolt my Borbets back on the other day, but held off because I just know we'll get some freak spring snowstorm within days if I do. Wouldn't be the first time....

Anyway, could you run:

Thank you!

[zookie]

Want to make my day? then please run : VIN # wbabb2315lec22642

The reason i ask is becasue the PO didnt give me anything, and my mechanic realized it had an auto to manual swap. He also noted some sort of bracket on the rear. dunno what that was about.

Thanks!
