    My e30 addiction strikes again!

    I have been an e30 fan since the 80's. My first e30 was an 86 325e automatic it didnt last long coz I wanted a 5 speed so I sold and bought me a 91 318is 5 speed it was a fun car to drive power wise not too much. After I graduated from college I found a 190e 16v Cosworth so i decided to sell my e30 and buy this nice Cosy. I pretty much restored this car. When i got the car it has fuel issues that took me a while to learn how to fix (stupid k-jetronic) and replace all sensors and relays and mostly major maintenance. Now that the car is running perfect I have been looking around for e30's as a daily beater. I found an 88 325 for $600 but it has slight front damage but its driveable so I bought it and drove it home and started tearing up the car. I miss playing with this cars its much easier to fix than the complicated 16v cosworth. After 2 weeks of fixing up the e30 somebody told me that there is a mint condition e30 for sale and its cheap so I tried getting the sellers information short story I went and bought the car its an 87 325is running and no issues. I know you guys are probably tired of reading my thread. enough with the story. here are the pics.

    My first e30 I ever modded

    Then I bought this 87 190e 2.3-16v

            Thanks. Was... but after spending nearly 5k to get the car road worthy I guess I'll keep the car and I figured the value was going up for this specific 190e 16v.
