Pretty good find

[uofom3]

I was looking on CL this morning at cars as I usually do and I came across an ad for an 84 318i with "low miles". I clicked m the ad and sure enough there was an e30 that was straight with 111k on it since new with a clean title... And it was henna by the looks of it. Long story short, I drove out to rural Oregon and was met with a very dirty, but very complete, low mileage henna red 84 318i.

Bought it on the spot. Car was FILTHY. A few shots of how bad it was:




Got it home and washed/waxed her. The henna paint is in great shape with a clear title/all original paint work - at 111k it's very low mileage for an 84:

The car is too complete and unmolested to mod it. It's going to be slowly restored and added to the BMW hoard in the interim.

That's my conflict. I thought about restoring it and selling it to another enthusiast but I think I'll kick myself the next time I see one and wish I still had it - even with the m10.
