    Crossed over onto the dark side

    Decided to buy one of these yesterday, found one last night, bought it this afternoon, parked infront of my house tonight



    1985 E30 318i coupe.

    Still keeping my a3, this is just for station duties and maybe some fun.
    25years later it still goes well, and still gets sideways

    Classic beautiful shape, I've always had a soft spot for e30s, I can't believe I found one this good so quickly.

    Very nice man, looks tidy.

    Make sure you head over to the ECCA, it's where all the BMW owners seem to be these days....

    haha I've got to promise myself not to mod this thing too heavily, or else i'll need a 3rd car to drive to the station.

    It has factory BBS mesh!

    I'll have to get some better pictures later on, with 4 VWs in the garage this will have to be parked out on the street.

    When you come to fix the following items and you get stuck, ask me and I'll tell you my experience:

    Changing springs and shocks
    Changing Alternator
    Changing starter
    Changing power steering rack

    That steering rack was a bitch and a half.
