I had to sell my e30 88 sedan (miss it everyday) due to lot of life changes. New job, moved out state, new baby all in a a week. Well over year later after selling my beloved car the mrs. Needed a bigger car than her e39 so in comes the escalade. At this point I o not have any bimmers in the barn and went into deep depression as I felt I had betrayed the motherland.
So fast forward to last week. The mrs. Says and I quote " you should buy another BMW so you don't cheat on me". So I pulled up eBay and Craigslist and narrowed it down to the e30 vert. Found the closet one and bought it.
Today I drove up from phx to pick up a 92 318i vert with 217 on the odo with a bad motor mount for $2,650 I am so happy to be back in he fold. More pics coming.
