Need Opinions Please..trade my 91 318i vert for 70 2002?

No way. M42 FTW. Besides, there were less than 4100 318iCs imported to the US, it's kind of fun driving something so odd.

It's kinda like driving something so slow :)

2002 vs. E30

I see you made up your mind to keep the E30. Good call!

I just sold BOTH my 2002tiis ('73 and '74) and now drive a 318is that I purchased for $1750. It's the "spiritual successor" to the 2002.

I think driving an '02 every day is a lot like working in a chocolate factory ...after a while, you lose your passion for chocolate.

In my case there are other reasons, too...my '74tii was rear-ended on I-80 and termed a total loss. I got some bad whiplash and have filed a PI suit. I bought the car back from the insurance company and made out reasonably well from the sale of the five-speed, LSD, etc.

E30 parts are far more plentiful and a whole lot cheaper. I'm also at an age where I like little conveniences like A/C and power windows.

Back in the 70s, when they were new, I lusted after a round-taillight tii. After owning my Inka Orange '73tii "roundie" for eight years it was time to let someone else be the "custodian." I'll miss it, but I've no regrets.
