    E30 Convertible Oahu,HI

    I have owned many E30's and this has to be my favorite one. I moved to HI 6 months ago and needed a car to share with my gf - but did not want to buy expensive cars as the cost of living is so high.

    1991 325i Convertible
    auto ( my first auto e30, limited in choices on the islands )
    Granitsilber Metallic
    Gray Interior
    Purchased with 89k documented miles
    sits on basketweaves
    Added Z3 antenna

    Everything on this car surprisingly works. All I need to make her perfect is to find some OEM vert seats in Gray as these are worn. The plate is for her business.

        There are surprisingly a lot of low mileage e30,s in the islands if you look. I bought mine on Oahu back in 2008 with 27,xxx og miles and the odometer still working. Nice find.

            I live in town, right off of pali hwy. I really would like to find oem vert seats in Gray, I dont really want to buy an aftermarket recovering kit, etc.

              When I went to Maui I was surprised to see a couple e30s
              I thought about moving there but when I saw how expensive everything was I couldn't justify it
              I hope it works out for you guys!

                Yeah, its been good so far. A lot of cars are low mileage because of short distances everywhere.

                GF actually bought a 11' 135i convertible on friday back in cali, was thinking of picking up another e30, a nicer example though 5 speed, laguna green. I still like this car though, especially in Oahu.

                Things can be not as expensive utilizing costco, purchasing local grown food etc.

                  I want to say I saw this around Waikiki beach area last year. The 3 days I was down there, I saw one e30.

                      Yes, I bought this from a free spirited girl who lived in North shore. She did tell me someone bumped the car when in Waikiki. She owned the car for 2-3 years.

                        Yeah, its good for HI. The seats are rough but dash has no cracks, every single thing works. Just need a light bar.

                        I am sourcing the seats. And yes, proof of business for her.
