I was wondering about this thing as well... Is it actually a 318 model or does it just have the m42 inside an 88 e30?

If it's an '88 it's a transplanted M42.

Deansweet will probably buy it.:D

I hear you with that...I'm very tempted by a '77 530i over here.  The bad?  Automatic, thermal reactors and the inevitable cracked head.  The good?  77k miles and it's a really pretty shade of green.
