Hi everyone!  First post here, been perusing the board a lot since I bought my first bmw about a month ago.  I've always loved the e30 and wanted to get one.  The purchase was totally spur of the moment as I just happened to stumble across the car while perusing craigslist while bored at work.  Needless to say once I sat in and drove the car I wasn't leaving without it.

Here are the details on the car.  
1991 318is with about 295000 miles on it:eek:
has bilstien sport/hr sport suspension
17x7.5 BBS Rx's with 15mm ecs spacers in the rear
The interior is absolutely perfect except the drivers seat, which should be fixed soon hopefully
Runs amazingly well and I have enjoyed every moment with it since the purchase

Here it is when I first purchased it

And after putting the wheels on it and hitting it with the dewalt and a wax.  Dont worry a new front lip and repaint of the valence is on my short list.

I love it and its super clean for that many miles. I'm loving the rims. Are they white or silver? Anyway, nice find and good luck with it.

Thanks, most people hate the yellow, but its not their car so....

Gotta love craigslist and a boring day at work. Thats exactly how I found mine. I would say that was the most productive day of work I've had in a while.
