Hello all!  I hope you all like/welcome 318 vert owners in here. :D

Just picked up my first e30, a very clean and restored Brilliantrot '91 318iC w/ 188k on the clock from a BMW mechanic.  He bought the car from a life long customer and went on to rebuild the engine and respray it in the original color (the right way) in hopes to give it to his dad as a gift.  Lucky for me, the dad bought a Hyundai :eek: and he decided to sell it!

Wow nice vert! Uber clean. Sounds like it has a good background, do you have any mods planned or do you intend on enjoying it stock?

thanks guys/gals.

no mods planned at this moment.  will probably keep it mostly stock.  would love to get some bbs wheels for it and get a lighter flywheel but we'll see.  i might pick up another e30 as my daily driver and to play around with instead of screwing with this beauty.  

see you all around...

edit: oh forgot, i'm planning on shadowlining the rest of the trim around the windows and the front grill to match the new trim he put all around the car.  any recommendations as to take the window trim off the car and do it or just mask it and spray?
