    They're pretty slow in a straight line, 100-120whp. Test drive it first, of course
    Be weary of rattling from the engine (chain/tensioners/guides) and, of course, rust. The M42 is a pretty smooth engine and you shouldn't really feel any hesitations or rough idling. They're quite solid otherwise, just don't plan on using an 1800 E30 as your daily, or as reliable transportation. E30s don't really have the best rep for being... um... always working.

    Hey guys so there is a 91 318is in red up in Aspen, the guy wants 1800 for it, its red, he's going to shoot me over some pictures of it and if I could get him down on the price that could potentially be a good start if there's no rust or anything, but how slow are they? what are my options for more power? what should I look out for?

    I've changed routes, no longer going E28, drove my buddies 325i today and totally changed my opinion, going E30 for sure! if anyone sees anything let me know!

    Been busy with things

    Engine swap, misc fixes and megasquirt tuning...
    SAME here Tommy!

    1017 racing and restoration just built their garage and was installing lifts last week. They were talking about having a bbq down here in colorado springs. Maybe in a couple weeks we can get something going. i'll get with Rick and see what he is thinking, Ideally i'll have my turbo back by then.

    I don't want a vert is my stipulation, and I want an E28 but I'm for sure open to an E30 but who knows
