Howsit guys,
I initially registered on the forum some time ago however I was skeptical about introducing myself since I dont technically drive a bimmer.
Instead I drive a 2013 Cooper S.
Anyway, instead of browsing the threads like a stalker I thought I would just say Hi.... plus I am looking to get myself an e30 320/325 as soon as the right one comes along.

Welcome bud.
Mini's are welcome. lol
There are plenty e30's around...it all depends how much you're willing to spend. BTW...please dont get a 320i, its not worth it. lol

Thanks for the warm welcome guys...
I'll post pics of my mini.... she's just really pissing me off right now... it keeps going into limp. Changed out the 1 coil that had some rust on it and the plugs and still the same issue. However, today it ran perfectly fine for some reason with no limp at all.... wierd.
@jeremy, you right, I was just settling in a way.... I cant seem to find a 325i in good condition.
If I had any experience with fabricating and welding stuff, I would probably try build this beast:

Wow, that "Deathkart" seems mad. What a build!

I may be able to put you in touch with on or two contacts for e30's. How much are you willing to spend? PM me if you dont want to post that here.

My wife had a 2009 Cooper S. Four years of ownership, 3 timing chains and various other fixes later, we could not sort out the limp mode issue. It was just hit and miss all the time, without ever knowing what the problem was. Only fix was to trade it in.

Good luck.
