    First e30, alpine white 318iS

    Ffinally picked up my first E30 - a clean '91 alpine white 318iS with a nice tan interior. The car has 207K on it and the engine is in excellent shape. Here are a few pictures from the seller. I'll take some good ones soon.







    I'll have to fix the A/C and heater, but those are the only issues. I'll wait.


    But overall I'm happy. The plan's to use it as a daily driver for quite some time until I can do a swap. In the meantime I'll add some minor performance and exterior modifications, starting soon.

    ;)

              Super nice. The only flaw I can see is a cracked dash, the passenger seat looks mint.

                  Looks like a good starting point. Very familiar...

                      Thanks! Yeah, the dash has some cracks and the driver seat isn't perfect. But the passenger seat looks practically new, and the rest of the interior is very very good.

                              About $3k. I think it was up for $4k. Also got the seller to agree to providing parts for the repairs it needed.

                                      Haha yeah. I was going to get the car for less than $3k if I remember correctly, but then he made the offer to give me the parts it needed so I just gave him a little more and accepted that. It was a local pickup for me so I had a PPI done. Mechanic kept stressing what great shape the engine was in so that sold me.
