    My E30 318iS

    Hey Guys,

    It’s been a long two years of searching but I have finally bought an E30. The car is a 1991 Lazur Blue 318iS w/ 195k km’s (approx 125k miles) in overall very good condition. I got the car with a fBMWsh, all original, quite clean, no previous crash damage, new tyres, etc.

    The bodywork is very good, it has a few small scratches here and there but overall, it still shines nicely with only a couple of very small dents (no paint removed). The interior is very good for the cars age however the car only has the standard seats (non-sport). The mechanicals are also in great shape, the engine pulls very strong, no leaks, etc. The car rides very nicely for the km’s traveled and the suspension is still very tight as well. Also, only 5k km’s ago, the car had a large service where lots of various parts were replaced as far as the mechanicals and chassis go.





    All in all, I’m very happy with my E30 and can’t wait to start modifying it. I don’t plan to do too much too soon as I want to keep it as original as possible but I hope to add a few things just to personalise it a little bit. Either way, I would love to hear your thoughts, any suggestions on modifications or advice, I appreciate it all, thanks,

    --Pete :D

            I've seen this color once, but it was old and faded, it looks soooo much better in the condition it was meant to be.

            Good luck with your car!

                  I thought that was Diamond Black until I saw a blue tinge. That's a sweet color. Awesome 318is!
