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.

Good Luck...wait, you're buying a 4 cylinder? 136hp and 127lb/ft in 2500lb (upto 3000lbs dependant on year/options/etc) gives you the stunning performance of a current model year Toyota Corolla or a 6th gen Celica GT.
