Long time r3v lurk... probably close to a decade at this point. Finally pulled the trigger and got myself an e30. Craigslist find, just needs a little tlc.
1990 325is
Schwarz
238k on the chassis
~100k on the motor (donated from a vert)
Needs a heater core (currently bypassed) and blower motor. Has some minor fixable rust - battery box, small spot above license plate, and small spot on outside of rear driver wheel well. Driver seat mechanism needs to be fixed and covered, and the driver bolster has a tear. Dash is cracked, of course. The front end is not original thanks to a deer incident with the PO. Otherwise, she's in great shape considering a lifelong NY/New England car - underside is completely rust free! Decent maintenance history with receipts, etc. came with the car.
I have a new oem is spoiler (for after the planned respray) and mtech 2 steering wheel on the way... Going to enjoy her for a few weeks then have a local restoration shop do the body work and give her a fresh coat of schwarz. Planning to lower her a bit, sway bars, uncracked dash, ecu, intake, exhaust.
Runs extremely strong and is a blast to drive!
