    I saved an e30, its also my first

    Found a 1991 318is sitting in the back of some guys yard and it was going to be cut up for parts and the rest scrapped. I ended up getting it off him and all that was wrong with it was a idle air control valve, install a new one started and ran perfect. After poking around when i got it home had alot of goodies including, Dinan ecu chip, Koni yellow shocks, H&R springs, stainless brake lines, front strut bar, and a bmw supersprint exhaust, all was already on it.

    Here is how i found it.



    Got it home and went to work with the buffer and the wax.



    And here it is now, just purchased new XXR 513 wheels 16x7 15et front and 16x8 0et rear with 205/50/15.



    I did have one bmw prior to this a few years ago as my daily drivier it was a e36 323 but i can honestly say i like the e30 better.

            So this guy was gonna cut up a really nice looking e30 to sell for parts?

            Oh and throw those eyebrows in the trash! Other than that sweet pickup

                        Got it for basiclly 1000 bucks, because it did run the guy was going to cut out the trunk pan and quarters and junk the rest.
