I joined the E30 club...

Picked up this E30 yesterday...

1991 318i convertible, 202,000kms, black on tan vinyl interior, hardtop & soft top.

Needs some work (exhaust, e-brake, maybe blower motor, and some minor paintwork) but it was a good price.

Pics are crappy... but it was dark and snowing out!

Cheers,
-Paul

Your very lucky to get the hard top, I know a few people who are looking for one!!!! great Starting point for a great car, The m42 motor is great!!!

Duct_Taper · 12-14-2008, 10:46 AM

Yeah, the hardtop was a big selling point - I actually bought it without even looking at the soft top... hopefully that's in relatively decent shape!

btw richie - do you still have that set of basketweaves for sale?

richie_s999 · 12-14-2008, 10:49 AM

now someone picked them up last weekend. I do have a set of sway bars and a new ragjoint for the steering and front m tec springs from my 318is if your interested.

Thanks for the info, but I'm not going to be looking into that kind of stuff yet - first priority is getting it safetied and maybe getting some nicer wheels.

richie_s999 · 12-14-2008, 10:54 AM

thats what I had to get the rag joint for, put a new one in and then changed the car to manual steering which uses a different rag joint then the power steering.

Duct_Taper · 12-14-2008, 10:55 AM

Ahhh, I see... well, when I find out what it needs for safety I'll let you know if I need one of those.

Enjoy it!!!

Duct_Taper · 12-14-2008, 11:02 AM

I'm sure I will

johnoz · 12-14-2008, 11:08 AM

The soft top is not motorized is it?

Duct_Taper · 12-14-2008, 11:09 AM

I don't think so. Where would the switch be for it if it was?

Nguyen_E30 · 12-14-2008, 11:53 AM

Yeah, I'm pretty happy with it... the only spots that seem to need paintwork are around the front wheel wells and the gas door. Slight chips in other places, but nothing major.
