      i will try to convince my parents to help chip in...
      how many miles and whats been wrong with it in the past or present.
      you can PM me of you are serious, but it has 210k, its 5-speed (all 1991 318is's are), only things wrong w/ it currently is that it needs a t-stat and the PS rack is leaking, so i disabled the power steering, which is an upgrade imho.

      all stock factory sport seats, crack FREE dash.

      Only interior issue is the vinyl is cracking on the left butt bolster on driver's seat, see pic. Carpet needs a good scrubbing too.


      Oh, and an M42 is waaaay cooler than an M20.

            It sounds like he made something up. He probably bled the coolant system a shit load of times, but he's still getting air bubbles, indicating a head gasket failure. Check it out. Replacing a head gasket will give a head start in the E30 game. You'll know basically all about your motor.
