hi I'm new here I found this site as I was looking for info on the m42 I went through all the options and found that a 318is is perfect for my next car my current car will be payed off in september and i should be buying a e30 (most likely a 318is) then so i decided to join this site the car i drive now is a supercharged mazda millinia-s and im tired of driving a fwd auto tran's car

so im not a m42 owner but maybe i will be soon and i can get away from the gas hog v6 i drive now

Welcome to the forum.  IMO the 318is is a very fun little car.  This is my first e30 and I've only had her for a couple of months but I am very happy with it.  My previous car was a 240sx.  Also a fun car but I like the bimmer better.  The amount of DIY articles on this site about this car is VERY helpful for a first time e30 owner.  Post some pics when you pic up your new ride!

the 3 car's i was thinking of are a 240sx, fc3s rx-7, and a e30

did your 240sx have lsd and in what way was the e30 better then the 240 if you don't mind me asking

Good to have you. The club is great and the 318is a blast.  I have had mine for about 4 mos and I am driving it more than my E46.  

WARNING!   The 318is is addicting.  Good luck and check out the "What to look for" thread.
