Welcome home E30 coupe

So after many many months of toying with the idea, and many more hours of scouring the web
I've found a good enough base to potentially burry my head into, another money pit
that will ultimately be something the wife and I can have countless arguments and disagreements over,
but will hopefully result in a stronger and more stable marriage. For the good of the kids really,
well mostly, well kind of. Lol

My new (old) E30 Coupe

Details:
1989 (According to owner)
318i Coupe
Manual
Extras:
E/Sunroof (working)
E/windows (dodgy)
Air Conditioning (needs re-gass)
Sport leather seats (needs a recover)

Everything works as it should and drives like a charm with one click starts.
She even passed roadworthy without having slip a few notes behind the application form. So far so good, let's see where this goes...

Lol that's the spirit.

Plans for the car?

Lol
For now - because it's mechanically sound - the plan is to
1 use it! It sips fuel which is a bonus.
2 Concentrate on aesthetics, not going to chase power yet. Id rather have a pretty car that drives as opposed to ugly fast car thats in the shop most of the time. Haha

Lol, I definitely feel like it was a good deal. All the other details made it all the more sweet:
2nd owner, zero rust, new licence, owners manuals etc. So im pretty happy with it for now. :ty:

Haha, I have no idea - I've been dreaming about getting a rough E30, an M3 bodykit and chucking 3.0 motor in. I think the S54 swap is just too pricey but what does an M54 or even an N52 cost? Would still be dope in that small body.

Calling the engine and modding experts to shoot me down!


Just to be clear - I'm not punting that webpage, I have just searched for E30 M3 bodykits before and this came up... Use at your own risk!

LOL, MtechII is undoubtedly Hot AF but its almost sacrilegious to do it to a 318i - Ill need to get lots of go-fast goodies to match that exterior...And no, lol alot less than that.
