Finally got an E30

[SykoBMW]

Finally got an E30 today. It's a 1992 318ic, 5spd, ~39k miles. Pretty much mint all around, it's Granit Silver. Just got back from buying it a couple hours ago, we filled the fuel tank and apparently it has a leak :roll:. Luckily it came from a Volvo Dealer which better fix it. They supposedly did a 240pt inspection which seems like BS now. Here's a pic (sry for quality, came from camera phone), for more pix go here

Carfax came back fine. The leak needs to be fixed though, smells horrible.

I love it, now I just need to learn how to drive manual :D
I'll prolly drive it around tomorrow... if the gas leak isn't too bad. Couldn't tell it was leaking before b/c the tank was only like 1/4 full :evil:

[franz]

Very nice. I would like to hook up with W-S gang sometime, there are a lot of you guys on this board! It is a bit of a drive for me but not bad, and I like to drive!

A fuel leak at 39k miles???? I'd be worried. But never fear. Have them check the hoses near the external fuel pump and fuel filter(in front of the drivers side rear wheel). Those hoses are notorious for cracking, like mine did....

I want to see you and Evan line em up. And Rob. Battle of the M42's.

[Erick]

not much of a battle there.... he has a heavy cabrio :roll:

It's all good though, now you can ride in style with the stop down. And damn 39k miles is nothing at all! Awsome find!

Actually, the drip was by the rear drivers side wheel. It no longer smells like gas though.
