Found my from 2 hard month's of searching on craiglist, forums, autotrader, and newspaper. Finally found one close to where I live and it was from a tech shop. The owner was a really good friend with the original previous owner who passed away. Vehicle was from AZ and came up here cause the wifey wanted to have the shop owner sell it for them especially since her husband passed away which is no use to her no more. It was previously owned by a tech foreman so I know it was in good hands :)

Picked it up for $3900 OTD with 170k

Found mine after searching for a few weeks on every medium I could find: Craigslist, Ebay, Forums, Roadfly, BMWCCA, eyes open, etc. I live in Socal so there were quite a few cars out there. Eventually found my 89 325i, Royalblau 5-speed with 183k miles. Paid $3400 and loving it so far. Only had it a week and I just keep putting money in for tools (didn't have much to begin with) and miscelaneous parts. Just ordered some tires, soon going to get a Z3 1.9 SSK, new brake pads, flush brake fluid, coolant flush, hoping to redo suspension soon too...gotta love the E30 modding bug :)

My 325i, the one pictured in the sig, was purchased by my father in 1989.

My first personal e30, the black '90 325i, was purchased in the autotrader (although the owner was a BMW CCA member and all that).

Then my parts car was purchased through Roadfly.

My 4th e30, the 318i, was purchased through r3v.

And now I got everything I salvaged from most cars and poured it into the first one, which has been officially mine since I retired the black 325i.

[BMW BMXER]

still got it? what'd you end up paying if you dont mind?

bmxer -is that the concrete mississauga park that opened a year or two back? never made my way down there. how is it?

yea i can see oakville being too tight for bikes, but i always see a million of them whenever I'm there

bastards with no brakes tailwhip out of that little miniramp/snakerun thing right onto the platform where everyone's standing, all day long, lol. till the cops come and they scatter

The mississauga park is pretty good. But same deal cops come and we have to get out for fear of a 265 dollar ticket.

I found mine randomly when i was in the bmw mechanic's shop talking to them about a lot attendant/office job there. although i may have found another (younger, better) one now so i might be selling my baby :(

Kinda boring...

Prior to buying my car I had been searching the southeast for two years and my buddy had shot me down on @6 candidates before.
I was driving down a main road in Ga and passed a "tow the note" car dealer. I saw my soon to be car and pulled in. It had good paint and no rust, so I test drove it. It needed a suspension bad, but ran well so I went back and asked if I could take it to my mechanic to put it on a rack. He said ok and I drove it 30 miles to my buddy's shop. It checked out ok, besides the suspension it was leaking from the oil filter housing and the interior was pretty beat up (go figure!). My buddy asked me if it was the car I wanted and I said yes (this was around the 7th e30 I hade brought to him. He told me to buy it if I liked the color and we would begin work.
I went back to the dealer and told him about the suspension problems, then bargianed him down from 3800 to 2800 out the door. He accepted and I got my dad to come pick up the car with me.
I then tore the bitch apart and redid everything but the head, not because it needed it, because I wanted to.
Knowing what I know now, 2800 is kinda high, but screw it. If I had passed on my car I wouldn't have near what I have now!
