'91 318i or '79 Mini
« on: January 05, 2010, 06:51:42 PM »
So I found a 79 mini classic that is RHD. I am debating on what to do here. My 318i is a full track car less the cage and a few cosmetics with a stroker and other custom parts. Unfortunately there is no track in Hawaii, and will not be as long as we are here. So, do I keep the track car or get the mini? Keep in mind that my wife has a '91 318is. So it's not like we'll be without an E30, but it is bone stock.

I was considering a trade, but the guy is into MG's. So I doubt there is any interest for an E30. And it would have to go to an enthusiast to be appreciated. It's simply not a good looking E30. But it's got a set of nut's. It was built for the track so the paint is crappy and the interior is not up to snuff.
