Just recently picked up a 91 318is. Actually its this one- http://www.m42club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15148
And i am in love with it! My dad always told me how great his old e21 was, so when i saw this i jumped on it. It has turned out to be a great little car.. Not terribly fast, but im used to a lifted Isuzu Trooper so this car still feels like a rocket to me. It handles AMAZING. Gets great gas mileage, little under 30 as far as i can tell. It runs, shifts, and drives about perfect. I got a good deal on a great little car. It has came a pretty long way since i got it though..
Buffed/ waxed

Got the interior just about finished

My cat likes it too..


Took this one today when i was out playing in the rain.. man this thing is tail happy!

Many more pics to come, along with a turbo;)

Welcome to the Club! I like the color coordinated cat:D.

Apparently you took care of the strut problem?

They are great little cars.  That car does look familiar - Ben said you'd be around once you did a bit of work to the car.  Seems like you've done a lot so far, that's for sure.  A diamond in the rough, as it were...

Thanks keflaman and dave!
So far ive put 7k on her without one issue, amazing for a $900 22 year old car
Just a few updates, haven't been on due to limited internet access but its all good now
Gotten quite a bit done to it. Heres how shes looks now:


318 is now on the correct side:

Was finally able to find trunk liners at the pick-n-pull, not cleaned up or fastened in yet:

New parts: 4 Falken Zeix ZE329 195/65/14
New control arms and tie rod ends
Catalytic converter
And a bunch of other small things barely worth listing

Coming soon:
Bilstien shocks/ h&r springs
E36 rack
Was able to find a near perfect carpet at the PNP that actually fits it, dyeing it black
possible i6 swap,unsure of which engine yet, or refresh the m42, she leaks more then the exxon valdez.

More pics to come
