    Picked up a 1985 318i

    just picked up a 1985 318i, drove two and half hours with my friend to get it, 700 bucks! 5 speed, drove home no problem, last owner kept it pretty clean. Here are a couple pics ;)

    Dang bro, looks exquisitely clean.
    Awesome find and the price, fantastic.
    Now you can dump a shit load of $ in upgrades and don't have to worry about it.
    M10 FTW!!!

            Well, the pros, you have the lightest of the E30. Con is, you also have a boatload of inferior parts.

                    Drum brakes, small strut tubes, small axles, small diff, and of course the lack of power. I have an 85 318 as well.

                      Enjoy it, and learn as much as you can.

                      That way it is much easier when you get your next E30. Because beleive me, there will be another one.

                            It's the same for me. I have learned damn near everything with this car, and although it's much more work, the learning experience is much greater than it would have any 325.
