I recently picked up a 1991 318is slicktop for $500. Its my first E30, or BMW actually, but I'm looking forward to learning about the little car! Its a blast to drive and the M42 is a satisfying motor to rev.
So far I've installed a new radiator and thermostat and put in proper BMW coolant. The car came with an extra dash that had no cracks so I managed to get that installed as well. There are a few issues with the car still though:
-Odometer stopped working at 210,000 miles...
-Power windows do nothing
- Seems to leak engine oil and power steering fluid
- AC is weak
- brakes are not strong
- Front suspension is washed out, but there were some Bilsteins in the trunk so I can put those on I suppose
Its pretty awesome to have a forum just for your engine, so I look forward to learning form everybody!
