Trying to choose between two E30’s.
One is a 4-door, 2-owner, ~155k miles on it. Awesome color. Base interior (no Sport seats). Airbag steering wheel. Bottle cap wheels. Pretty plain Jane, but a great base to start from. Working factory AC converted to R134.
The other is a Touring. Don’t know how many owners. ~110k miles on it. Ok color. Plain grey cloth interior with nice Sport seats. Small MTech2 steering wheel. Euroweaves. Stock, but with some nice little bits. No factory AC.
Both are quite clean cars, both 325i’s with manual transmissions.
Seems like an easy choice initially, but the Touring will cost ~$5k more than the sedan, to get it to my front door.
I don’t need the Touring’s extra utility, but was considering it as a fun unique vehicle.
I don’t really need AC, but sure, there’s an occasional day where it would be nice to have it.
I have a spare MTech steering wheel on hand, as well as some Sport seats (that would need different upholstery to match the sedan’s interior).
Either car would receive an H&R Sport and Koni Sport suspension, possibly some ST sway bars, and 16” wheels. I would want them to be streetable and somewhat comfortable.
I guess my biggest concern about the Touring is that it’s going to be squeaky and flexible and annoying.
Any thoughts?
