    1991 318is, my third e30

    Just purchased my third e30 from a guy in Michigan, a silver 318is with sport package cloth interior. Unfortunately not slicktop :(. He took great care and it shows. Great history overall. Just 130k miles, minimal rust and great interior. I'm so excited to get into it and make it showroom quality.
    I went down a long dark path with my last e30 (suspension, motor swap, etc.). I'm going to try my best to keep it as oem as possible but lowering will surely be coming soon as I've grown accustomed to low sporty cars.

    I'm having problems posting pics but I'll try later.

          Clean looking! I hope you keep it OEM. That is the way I'm keeping my '91 318is. Best of luck with this great find and many happy miles!

                        So the pressure's on, after a year the car should be done right? LOL.

                        First thing I did was identify some wheels to upgrade from the stock 14" weaves, although they are quite minty, I love these cars with the right wheels and stance.
                        I came across some Rs033 for sale on vortex, very straight set aside from clear coat pealing and minor scrapes.

                        I went about refinishing them myself, which I am sure I will never decide to do again unless I have better tools/equipment. What a huge pain!
