Wow  8)

Still s14?

More photos!

Yep at 3 e30s it's confirmed there's something wrong with you, or right? I have not figured that out yet myself!
I know we will go with wrong but oh so right!

There $40 k here at least and that's with twice the kms. ::)

You have put me in quite a quandary.
Love the fact that I kind of know somebody that owns one of these and cares for the e30 lineage but on the other hand I hate you because you picked up one of my dream cars for a crazy low amount of monies... I google searched for one and the cheapest one I found in the US was $40k usd?! :/

If I ever make it up your way, can I drive it?! :)

Whoo-hoo, Norm!  Congrats!  Seems like a helluva steal you got there  :)  I think the car will be in great hands now, with what I've seen with your attention to detail.

I also have 3 E30s, and thankfully the wife is down with it.
I think I saw your new post over at S14.net but didn't associate it with you until just now.  I'm user ColinM  over there.

Enjoy, enjoy!  Hope you have an early Spring!

Hi Colin,

Thanks very much. Im really stoked about it! She is just so nice to look at I feel like a teen in love!! ::)

I did indeed post on s14 as that is the best resource around... Its seems to be a pretty quiet site but the guys on there have been very welcoming, just like here...

Once Ive sorted out the rear end issues on the M3 I hope to have her back on the road by early May. There is nothing at all wrong with the car but as I bought it out of province it has to undergo an inspection and the two brake lines just under the fuel tank are a wee bit rusty as is the fuel vent return line.. Unfortunetly I have remove the exhaust, driveshaft, rear subrame and fuel tank to have access... Of course, I will take care of of a bunch of little stuff while its all out...

Which e30's do you have?? I feel better about my "sickness" knowing you're out there...  :P

Once you start taking things apart it's like "while I'm in there, I might as well do x, y, z.."

I have a 91 318i, 91 318is, and an 89 M3, which I need to get back on the road now that snow season is over (I hope).

Aren't you both married? That means there are two of them. Maybe they can create their own 'e30 wives club'?!
lol
