I have 2 E30's.. what should I do?

[HardTech]

I recently bought a 1991 318is to drive to work while my 325es is on jackstands and gets all new bushings and bearings. I was planning on making the 325es a decent daily driver with some power (all poly bushings, race suspension, M50 engine with FI, etc), but now that I have the 318is, I dunno if my plans should change.

Part of me wants to keep the 318is relatively stock with minor upgrades, such as new shifter, M3 CAB, cabrio sways, maybe some H&R OE Sport springs and Bilstein shocks... if I get bored, I can always try to add more power to the engine, but I don't want to replace everything with something outrageous and make it uncomfortable and almost undriveable.

thoughts?

go with your gut feeling :)

sounds good :D

going crazy on mods will hurt the resale value, so i'm not too concerned about the 325es since they are dirt cheap. The 318is is somewhat rare and a pretty valuable car relative to other E30's, so I'll keep that relatively stock

I think the plan you have layed out sounds like a good one.
Replacing all the suspension stuff on the 318is and making it drive like new would fun and good for resale value.

If you have 2 E30s, you obviously need to buy one more...

I seriously would buy another one if I could find a 325i 4-door stick shift in alpine white and black interior with plastic bumpers
