    You must have missed the part about being a gas-sipper ;).

    Ahh yeah, I almost forgot; the shifter has the classic spoon-in-a-bowl-of-spaghetti feel going on. I'm going to have to replace it. I don't want anything as aggressive as, say, the Z3 M Coupe shifter, but definitely something shorter and all new bushings will do the trick...

    My New E30!

    Yeah, back to having two E30s.

    I picked this one up this morning. She's a gas-sipping '91 318i. Tim (VacMan) found her on Craigslist Orange County on Tuesday...I had told him that I was looking for one on Monday afternoon.

    Original owner, all records, 266,000 miles, all service up to date, everything's been done. They've been taking her to the same shop ever since the factory warranty expired.

    Her drivers side rear quarter was paintless-dent-removal'd and resprayed after someone rubbed along the side of her. No bondo, but not original paint on that panel. Very hard to tell.

    My plans:

    - Detail detail detail.
    - SEM Trim Black on all plastic mouldings & grilles.
    - SEM Chip Guard on rocker panels.
    - Repaint front and rear valance white areas (PPG Delstar Acrylic Enamel, foam roller).
    - Fix SRS light.
    - Remove tint.
    - Euro Ellipsoids w/ HID.
    - M-Tech II steering wheel.
    - Save gas and insurance money!

    I paid $2500 for what it's worth.

    On to the pics:











    And last but not least, my favorite part of this car (seriously!). I love these things -- they make an E30 look so..."Euro".
