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.

x2 on the electrical side. i just helped a friend of mine with his rhd bmw 320i (i think.. it's a 2.0L inline 6 anyway). his left rear brake light, interior light, and some other interior lights had died. but for some reason, after replacing a burned fuse in the engine bay, everything started working again as if all the lights were hooked up to the same fuse when it shouldn't since the other lights had their own separate fuses. his car is a 94 though so i'm not sure if this applies for the older gens too.
