    My first car!

    Ok first off R3vlimited is awesome and I'm somewhat obsessed with E30's now! My 1985 318i was my first car and first big purchase! I'm 16 so after a few paychecks u had enough money for a decent e30. But I was snooping on craigslist and found a delphin 318i. Down sides were the m10 and interior was pretty shot. But I made do with it! I drove 50 miles home to Austin, Tx. I was so excited! A fee bumps in the road have occurred since I purchased it. Like my control arm bearing under the strut completely fell out because of a loose nut. My clutch master cylinder completely, let's say, exploded. But with some time I got all new parts and sorted everything out! Ok enough with the talk, here are some pictures! bottle caps are now on. Got rid of those weird wheels.

    Hopefully I can grab some nice interior shots when my sister gets home from college and brings her camera!

    Happy Driving, Mark

              Welcome aboard! No shame with an M10 and interior is an easy swap. Lots of potential!

                          Oh I wanted to see if anyone has heard of an e30 locking from the trunk? I thought it was a bit odd but that's the only way I can lock my front doors.

                                              That is all.
