Help? 1988 325i conv in TX. Dead engine need advice on swap

[sk1624]

Hello, I am looking for an affordable engine solution for a 1988 325i convertible. Looking for reliability and affordability, car would be a daily driver.

Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated.
I am especially looking for anyone in texas nearby that has an e30 as well.

Thanks!!!!

Sell it to me, cut your losses. Lol. But yeah if its your first e30, and its a vert I wish you luck and much patience.

here is another good possibility as long as it doesn't need a head gasket. imo, if that really needs changing this guy is selling a paper weight.
