    My $480 E30.

    Well, Ive been looking at this car for a little over 3 weeks now but today was the first time Ive been able to set up a time to meet the owner. He was advertising it for 350 british pounds but I ended up driving it away for 300 british pounds. I felt bad for talking him down but just like any other 25 year old car it did have its flaws.

    The car is in really good condition minus a small rust in the drivers side wheel well. The interior is flawless minus one crack in the dash, no rips or tears. It has the puny M10 but has no leaks or anything. Shifts perfect, accelerates perfect, and is very nice. It has an almost complete tool set and a set of weller racing steelies that I believe came on it as a dealer option. I have every receipt from all the original owners, I even have the original invoice the dealer got from purchasing it, which has the wheels on it.

    My plans for this car was to throw my Borbets and coilovers on it but after buying it and driving it I think Im going to keep it mostly stock. Might update the engine or something later down the road, but right now I love it.

              Thanks guys. I think my plans are to keep this one stock and keep on pressing on my blue coupe. I want to bring both coupes back to the states, so once I sell the wagon I should have the money to pay for one of the cars to get imported back. Then the other the airforce will pay for.

                I honestly was looking at another one just like my lapisblau one, but the owner advertising was very false. I saw this one and couldnt believe the price on it. I thought it was going to be in rough shape but it def. surprised me. I honestly had nothing to complain about besides the rust on the driver's side. Which will need attention. This car is very clean but dont let pictures fool you, it still needs work.

                    Thats exactly whats going to happen. I have a complete E34 ready to be taken apart, now all I need to do is sell my wagon and make these plans happen. All I need is some E36 engine arms, E21 booster, E28 535i engine mounts, and E21 Tranny mounts.

                    A picture of the only rust in on the entire car.
