    New guy '91 318i for $500

    Hi, I'm new here! Picked this up a week ago. Guy wanted $500 for it. Checked my bank account. Had $501.36 Soooo... I bought it... =p No rust. Couple dings and I think one dent. Clear coat chipping/peeling. This is the 1st european car I've bought for myself (the VW in the pics is a father/son project). I've had twenty-some-odd japanese sports cars before this. Decided it was time for a change. Needs a clutch, doesn't move under it's own power and can smell it burning. I pushed it home a mile, the previous owner was nice enough to steer, lol. Runs great though. Can I have some clarification as to what engine this is? I haven't done much reading on here yet.







    And some of the other cars I've had. =p







    I love this area, if only for the fact that the last 5 cars I've bought were for $500 or less. Think I'll keep this one though =p

                it'll say on the front driver strut tower when you pop the hood. but i'm pretty sure it's d-schwartz.

                  there is a label on the inside of the engine bay just above the driverside wheel, it says the color :)
