    My E30 and Others

    I've been browsing around R3V for awhile now and I thought I'd finally show my ride and some others.

    I bought my '91 318is for $2,000 with 80,xxx miles on it in July of '08. The guy brought the car to my family owned mechanic shop in Cambridge, MA for a tune-up. We specialize in BMW's and Mercedes. The only thing wrong with it was a power steering fluid leak. Whenever I test drove the car, I absolutely fell in love with it. Not like any other BMW or Mercedes I had ever driven before. The guy said he had never drove it anyway because no one knew how to drive manual except for him and it wasn't his daily driver. So he offered me $2,000 for it and I became a proud owner. The car is in perfect condition except for very light, barely-noticeable erosion marks on the paint.

    Here are the pics of my E30:

    Seats are in perfect condition. The driver's seat looks odd because of the shadow, but really looks mint just like the passengers seat.





    This is my father's '85 635CSi with 82,xxx miles on it.


    My dad's girlfriend got jealous of our BMW's, so she bought a '06 525xi with 23,xxx miles on it.


    And finally, me and my sister (this was probably 9 years ago) standing next to a customer's amazing M1. Driving in this thing is amazing. Not like anything else you will ever drive. We tried to buy it, but he wanted 200,000 :(


    If you want to see the rest of the pics: http://s4.photobucket.com/albums/y13...20BMW%20318is/

    This is the internet. Just make something up.

        Wow a rare dark colored ///M1! Damn that was only 9 years ago?? By the way people are dressed it looks like 1983. But I forgot it was Boston, lol jk. Great E24 there!! Except the rims, IMHO.

          Haha. He likes the rims. I like them on his car, but don't like the rims in general. I wouldn't put them on my car. Lol dude, I was like 10. I didn't have a fashion sense. I don't even wear tanktop or shorts now which is funny.

            Welcome to R3V. The 318is appears to be in good condition, nice find. Where in Boston is your shop located?

                  Thanks for the welcoming to R3V guys.

                  Future plans for my car when I receive the funding are:
                  - illuminated shift knob
                  - new tires (I bought it with snow tires on)
                  - M3 wing
                  - MAYBE a new lip spolier
                  - rear spoiler
                  - side skirts
                  - new paint job or just fixing all the erosion marks myself until I receive the funding. I'm scared of touching the paint myself though
