Title: Its been awhile - Silver 91 318i sedan

Its been oh, three years or so since I've taken any pictures of my car, but I woke up way too early today and figured I'd go out front and snap a few.

7/90 build date, I'm the 2nd owner. It had 78,000 miles on it when I got it in February of 2007, and is at 97,500 today, approaching the big 1-0-0 :) To be fair, I was out of the country for a long while and it wasn't driven a whole ton. The wheels are 15x6.5" 3pc OZ Vegas with the oh-so-hard to find intact center caps. No other mods, maybe when I get some free time.

The exterior. It has lots of battle scars from the previous owner. He kept great maintenance records, but couldn't drive worth a damn.

The interior, aside from a horridly cracked up dash that I hide with a fuzzy cover, looks factory fresh. Unlike the paint.

Nice looking ride...great example of the rarest modern BMW...M42 E30 sedans FTW!  I have to admit that I prefer the silver/black over all other BMW colors.  It just looks right on a German car somehow.

Mine's the same, right down to the dents, 8/2/90 build date.  Except brilliant red/tan interior swapped for black leather sports from a coupe a while back...highly recommended mod!  I'd also recommend getting a 'vert 3-spoke wheel.  Others prefer the M-Tech.  They're both a lot better than my de-laminated old airbag wheel...
Title: Love the wheels

Incredibly clean example right there! One of the best color combo's for an E30 in general (not just coupe's).

Small update. Needed something to haul the bikes around on. Its currently at 100,700 miles. Bilstein HDs should be here on Friday, along with a bunch of new bushings. I'd be tempted to throw on some e30 M3 springs if anyone has a set lying around. Not interested in slammage, I see rough roads too often.
