E30s Are Too Hard to Find; Got an E28 Instead

[JeffOlson]

Yeah, I'm in LO, too. Took a gamble on an iX, flew to Boise, bought it, and drove home.

my neighbor bought the e30 i now own, parked it in my parking lot, moved, and sold it to me for a couple hundred bucks worth of my labor on his DH bike. zinno, SC car, no rust but f-ed up leather; easy fix. i didn't even have to leave my driveway to find an e30! however, the following here is pretty much non-existent, unlike the PNW. looks like a nice e28 though!

it's bigger than you realize... it's just not organized like these guys are


...oh, and just for good measure, this pic gets it on the same page for the 3rd time:


it's just that fuckin sweet, sinister even

yes, get some euro bumpers. they really do make the e28. I cant wait to start working on my m535i when my e30 is done. that car is so badass.

yeah, its having a couple of minor issues but the paint and interior are just as nice as your old one!

Issues

Yeah, it has a few issues.

The oil was sludge, so I drove it out to Oil Can Henry's yesterday to have the oil, automatic transmission fluid, and coolant replaced. (I had to stop at NAPA to buy the odd oil and air filters because Oil Can Henry's doesn't stock these items for this particular car.) I figured if the oil was sludge, the prior owner had neglected the car for a while.

On the way out, I first smelled then saw smoke billowing out of the left front air vent. So I opened the driver's window and drove faster! Yeah, I know, but I have insurance, and it would be kind of cool to drive down the road with the car on fire.

The gauge cluster is also shot. Only the tach, the fuel gauge, and a couple of idiot lights work.

But, hey, the car looks good! And I drove it today with no electrical fires.

(However, it does not look as good as Cam's old E28. Now that was a nice car.)
