    New Member, First E30

    1991 318i 4dr
    Only paid $400 but she needs a ton of work. But its my project car. Need something to drive so i don't keep putting miles on the M3.

    Needs...
    -slave cylinder
    -exhaust has a hole
    -fogs don't work
    -gauge cluster doesn't work
    -carpet is destroyed
    -rear driver side door won't open or close all the way
    -rust spots need to be fixed
    -front bumer is cracked and bent
    -and a bunch of small odds and ends and the wheels need to go
    BUT can't complain for only $400






    My E92 M3

        M3 is beautiful, not a fan of those wheels though. You will have fun with the e30!

            that is one fucked up pile of shit E30.

            I bet the same won't be said of it later this summer though, right?

            Glad to see that car gonna be saved.

                DAMN E92's are sexy, got to give you props for the 30 though most would have gone after a e36 or even a e46 as a DD when they have a E92 M3

                  I know! More to come for the M3 this summer.

                  As far as the E30, i was hoping to start stripping her down this week but living up here in NY sucks in the winter. Getting hit with a weeks worth of snow storms killed all my plans. And can't move the M out of the garage. As far as going with an e36 or e46, i have always loved the body style of the E30 and for $400 i couldn't resist. Once the weather clears up alittle i will start a build thread for it.

                      Do you drive your E92 in the winter and what lip is that on it?

                      e30 is a good start but pretty beat

                        haha, we are in the same boat!

                        i just picked up a $400 e30 as my project car. mine's a 86 325es coupe. its in roughly similar condition.

                        good luck.

                            Rarely drive it in the winter. Usually i garage it after the first snow fall and they salt the roads. And its the Vorsteiner Poly Front lip.
