I've been into BMWs for about a year now and owned a fern green(friggin love that color) e46 before this. I decided the e46 was a bit too nice for me and I've always loved the e30 body style even before I was into BMWs. Well i happened upon a thread on bf.c of a guy looking to trade so i decided to go to Tenn. and take a look. I came back with an awesome 1991 318is with a few...modifications. here are some seller pics. I don't have too many because I don't have a good camera.
The Paint is pretty much completely gone(i'll try to get some detailed pics to see if there's any saving), I'm planning on having it professionally painted in the next year.
