    I'm back in the e30 game :)

    Found this on craigslist, drove it, liked it, so I bought it. It is a 91 318is with some mods.
    h&r sports, bilstein sports, m20 flywheel, z4 ssk (not sure which one), suspension techniques sways, "butt strut", markD chip, k&n intake, custom catback exhaust (2.5 " piping with a bosal muffler), corbeau carrera seats, and white gauge faces. For the price I couldn't pass it up.

    The paint is in pretty good shape. There are some dings here and there, but I think I can live with it for now. The door moldings and the pass. window trim are missing.

    I'm not sure if i will keep the wheels, but they may grow on me (one of them has some curb rash).

    It runs real good. I drove it 3.5 hours as soon as I bought it with no issues.

          looks nice, i'm kinda likin the wheels. dont know if tennessee gets snow, but if it does i would use those till the tires are worn, then throw winter rubber on them if you can find them in that size. then get summer wheels you really like.

          just a thought. +1 on the how much :mrgreen:

          edit: oh and i CANT WAIT to see what tennessee is like first hand (just got a reason yesterday to take a trip down :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:)

              Looks like a good base to start the sickness.

                  Ok ok...I got it for $2800. Where I live, I never find any e30's for sale, and when I do, they are usually way overpriced. I picked this one up in Charlotte, NC.

                  It does need some minor things, but it will be fun wrenchin once again.

                  it also has hella ellipsoids. One of the bulbs quit working on my drive home. Not sure if it is the bulb or the ballast, but I am a little bummed about it :(

                    What is the mileage if you don't mind me asking? $2,800 is a steal from what i can see!! great buy!

                              The PO's name is Chris. He was a real cool guy to deal with.

                              He said the motor was replaced at 100k. Car now has 177k.

                              For those of you who remember blackforest (dan coop)....this use to be his car.
