It's great having an E30. I love it already!
In standardshift tradition, here are a few shots. Sorry I haven't cleaned it yet.

padauk's 1986 E30 325
Picked this up yesterday for 1100 bucks. Good shape mechanically; and I think with a little love she'll look nice too.

Right on. Maybe not my favourite Beemer body style but it looks like it could be fun. 'Grats on the purchase.
Two pedals, two feet, too easy.

What's with the OSB? Oil leak?

No leaks so far; just watching for one. Easier on the board than on the ground when it's been raining.theholycow wrote:What's with the OSB? Oil leak?

Hell of a deal! I need something like this around here. For 1100 bucks it will barely run, will be rusted out half way or be dented all over the place. 
I like it!

e30 and the subseqent 5 series will always be one of my favorite looking cars. Especially the m3 though.

That body style and older BMW's in general have a certain kind of stigma around here. Hopefully it's not the case over there.
Still, not a bad-looking car. If I lived elsewhere, I could perhaps...

Kind of like how Buicks are insanely popular in China but have very little traction in the US? Although the new LaCrosse and Enclave are starting to win people over for the Buick nameplate.Tups wrote:That body style and older BMW's in general have a certain kind of stigma around here.
