    New guy from Ottawa!

    Hello everyone, my names Anson. 17 year old from Montreal originally, I came across this e30 on a local add and couldn't pass it up.

    It was listed for $1500 originally, however when I wanted to test drive it, it would not start. I managed to talk him down to $500! It cost me $65 to tow it to my house and since then I've been slowly trouble shooting the no start problem.

    I believe I narrowed it down to the fuel pump not working. Not sure if its the pump itself or something else so thats the next step. I joined here to learn and gain help from the fellow e30 owners, and hope to be a part of the bmw community. :)

    Welcome to r3v! Check your crank position sensor. The fuel pump will
    Not turn on if it's bad

      Really? I did not know that it was related in that way to the pump. I was told to check it but after reading it said if I get spark it wouldnt be that.

      But awesome I'll check it out, thats why I joined this forum. Thanks a lot!

                I'm heading out to the shop today to dismantle him! :( If you need parts, get in touch with me.

                Engine is spoken for, as is the subframe in the front.

                  thats sad to hear man, i wish you best of luck, i actually have a buddy of mine he is rebuilding a e30 325is ill ask him if he needs any parts, as for me am intrested aswell, kind of hard question to ask knowing how much you love your car, but for a lack of a better way of asking, what is available in parts?
