Anyone here have any experience with E30 BMWs? I know a few guys in town who have them, and with a bit of work and a good drop they can be SICK. Plus they're just as bulletproof as the Toyotas, I know of quite a few all-original BMWs with over 300k miles. I've seen several for sale for $1000-1500 with around 200k miles that would make a great project. Looking for a 325i with a 5 speed and LSD, preferably a convertible but would settle for the right coupe. Sedan only if its an IX (awd).
This one pictured has been giving me inspiration as I follow his build. I probably won't go as low as he is since I'm going to DD the car year round.

I've got an 85 325E. They are definitely a labour of love...not ridiculously expensive to fix, but they are a bitch to fix sometimes. Other times I am amazed at the engineering that goes in to some things. They are sexy though, if you find one cheap enough go for it, they are fun...make sure it is a standard as the auto is comfortable but makes me feel like a grampa
