    I now own a second E30

    So I went an bought a 318is because the E36 318i was the biggest piece of shit I have ever driven.

    Anywho so the car has done 397,000km but seems to have been regularly service according to the books though the paint is well waffles waffles, and suspension needs some work.

    But the good points being it comes with BBS RS 001 delivered from factory, and it comes with ABS something not very common in Australia.

    Some picture for you all.









    This is the condition of the paint on the roof it looks like they have gone at it with a scotchbrite



    There are more dings then this but this is the most obvious





    This the condition of the paint on the bonnet think it has been resprayed due to the crows feet











    Over all the car is ok, going to try and give it a real good deep cut and polish and see how it ends up. Also going to swap the suspension and wheel over from my old car, this will allow me to rebuild the BBS Rs's.

              Clean interior, being from the states RHD fascinates me.

              I could be wrong but isn't ABS in e30s not worth jack?

                          I have no point of comparison, but it´s saved me from making mush of a pedestrian or two and avoiding having to kiss the back end of a car a few times.

                              Yeh I think it is good though I do miss the feel of non ABS

                              I think this was a stock option for the 318is in Australia. Every 318is I have seen has it, unless they went with leather.
