    E21: Another BMW!!??!!

    Dammit, I was driving down by the beach yesterday to try and get my comics and on the way back, saw a 320i sitting there, FOR SALE. Something told me I should check it out, because it looked pretty clean. So I did.
    - Inside was in great condition.
    - Engine bay, very clean.
    - Paint, eeeehhhhh 6/10 bayisblau?
    - Big dent in drivers door.
    - 5 speed
    - Rust? Not very much at all. Underside of car was VERY clean and there was a glaring LACK of rust. Owner said that he's had it for 8 months, and it was a Cali car... (ru kidding me?)
    - Called the guy, and he said that it needed a starter, and the brake light has started coming on. Otherwise, drives fine.

    $650. I think I might just offer the guy $500 cash, push start it, then put in an M30 starter when I get it home. Replace the rotors, and pads (rear drum, bleh) and call it a day.

    (yeah right, then it needs lowered, tint, wheels, paint, etc,etc, etc....)
    How do I say no to this?

        Go for it, just make absolute sure that there isn't any unmanagable amounts of rust on it. Pick it up, throw in an M42 and call it a day.

            x2. OR find a 323i / 320/6 subframe and drop in a high powered/turbo m20. Don't forget rear disc brakes from a 323i and euro bumpers. then top it off with some minty 320is recaros.

                  Cleaning it up a bit and resell it.
