New to the M42 club - found a link on R3V the other night when looking at something over there. I bought this 166K 318is in March at a local BMW shop/junkyard/repair shop here in Phoenix. Bought my first E30, an '89 325i, in January, after giving up on finding a nice 318is after 6 months of looking. The 325i was rusty and had a lot of other issues and I regretted buying it soon after I got it. Sold it to a previous owner who wanted it back so it all worked out well in the end. Six days later found this one for sale about 6 miles from my house. Paid $3200 for it. The shop fixed a few things on it before I took possession. It's in pretty good shape - the back half has been repainted because part of the rear end was replaced. The repair seems to have been done well. Got the a/c working last week so it's fun to drive in Phoenix again. Finding a few bits and pieces at the junkyard for it as needed. I've loved these cars since they were new and glad to finally have one in the driveway. Don't know a lot about E30s but I'm learning.
