Finally bought a 318is

[j3ff]

Well, I've been considering getting an e30 for a while, and I finally got one.

1991 318is with 165k on the clock. Bought it from the second owner, guy's had it since '98, has all maintenance records, he's a bmwcca and pca instructor. Guy really knows his stuff.

Mechanically and interior-wise, the car is in great shape.. the paint leaves some to be desired, but I don't really care too much about that.

Its got h&r sport springs and bilstein shocks.. sways also. The thing handles very nicely but still gives a smooth ride even on crappy downtown atlanta streets.

Here are some pictures:

Award for largest drivers seat ever?

Very nice. I want an M42 car. I think more 318is's came in dschwarz than any other E30, lol.

What's with the fat stacks of cash?

[j3ff]

Haha, those are the 20 dollar bills that I paid with.. I paid $3500 for the car. I used 20's because I found this car on craigslist last night, and wanted to buy it today, so I had to make a run to like, 3 different ATM's.

Ha ha ha, that's fucking hilarious. Your bank is going to call you tomorrow and think some fucker stole your debit card.

[Huff]

Can't wait to see it around town..

nice car- that sparco seat reminds me of the great jon toilet ad on this is pictures thread... lol

[j3ff]

Haha, yeah it is pretty huge, but its comfortable and much better than the original seat (broken). How much does a stock seat usually go for?
