    Finally bought a 318is

    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:

      I like it alot. Looks like the wheels could use some scrubbing though. Good score man.

                      Wish you much (responsible) fun!

                      Get that toothbrush out for the wheels.

                                  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?

                                      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.

                                                      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?
