Hi all, I've spent the last few months trawling through forums and car selling sites looking for an e30 in my area that was in reasonable condition, at a reasonable price.
Today I brought home this 1990 318is, in white, coupe, with a sunroof and power steering. The paint is in great condition, there is almost no rust (tiny bit under battery and around sunroof joints), new brakes, bilstein shocks, h&r springs, 15x7 wheels I think, as well as a Turner Motorsport coilpack conversion and tune of some sort (not sure on details of that).
Just the one pic from today:
Immediate plans:
Cheers,
Tim

Immediate plans:
- Fix anything obvious that needs fixing, eg not all dash lights work, aircon
- Make sure the trim is up to standard - so new steering wheel is in order
- Buy remaining parts for the sr20
- Insert sr20
- ??
- Profit
