Missed my old red 318is so much I had to get another one. Just picked it up:

Original owner, 155k miles, receipts from day 1, original paint, no major accidents. Needs: cold idle fix, complete suspension overhaul, a little love.

hi,

do you have any plans with your e30?
interior of exterior styling?

Stock exterior, H&R OE Sport Springs w/Koni shocks, possible swaybars, new control arms, M3 bushings, subframe busings, rear control arm bushings.

I like the 14" factory wheels, so I'll stick with them for now, most 15" wheels are significantly heavier so the 14's with good suspension is a nice setup. I might eventually get some Ronal LS wheels if I can find them, but I'm not in any rush.

Interior just the Momo steering wheel and a shift knob, that's it. Get a radio that looks decent and works with an iPod.

I like mine to look purposeful but non-molested.
