    Getting out of the e30 game

    Well it sucks but I sold out my remaining e30 out of the stable, cause I needed something more dependable and able to help me with my business, (furniture distribution). I'm going to miss the old e30, but my new ride isn't too shabby. Got a '03 Tacoma X-cab 4x4 with 25K Miles, fully loaded and with the ext. warranty for 7yrs / 100,000 Mi. This website has been a great reference for all the stuff I went through basically bringing an abandonded 318is back from the dead. Hopefully one day, when I have the time and money, I'll be able to get my hands on a fixer-upper e30 M3 and I'll be back with plenty of questions, but for now, the truck will have to do.


    The old 318is...

    the e30 will be missed...

    but that's a very interesting shifter setup in the truck.

        That is just the normal gear shifter and then the transfer case selector for 4WD. Nice truck. If I was going to buy a truck it would be one like that.

                Never seen a 4WD shift lever before, Dom? Expand your horizons, boy!

                            just think of all the e30 parts you can haul around now. you will be back. these square crapboxes are addictive.
                            you know the reason you really bought that truck is just to haul parts around for the next project.
                            btw nice truck-too bad it isnt a chevy though(j/k)

                              It's the 3.4 V6, I absolutely love this truck and in Hawaii, it's great to have a vehicle that has a/c that gets cold within a minute of turning it on. Hopefully I will be back with the e30's, my car stable was getting out of hand for a 27 yr old. I had a 91 318is an 89 325i vert, which I sold, now I've got it down to the truck and a 99 M3 vert. I'm hoping in a few years to get my hands on an e30 M3 as a weekend project / driver.
