Well guys - been a while since I been in here. Lools likes its not as bsuy as I remember. Anyway a buddy looking at an E30 and wonder if anybody here knows anything about her history. Plan is for a trackday car and bit of use on Sundays, doesn't need to be perfect - famous last words

Shes a 1990 E30 located in Cork, see link. Any feedback welcome.

Well it definitely has a dodgy interior.  Looks suspiciously like a Golf!

I'm guessing its a regular 318i rather than iS and the body kit has the look of an aftermarket example.  Worth checking if the wheels are reps.

Obviously depends on what its like in the flesh but for €3k is needs to be a very tidy car.

Now: BMW 523i SE '00, 318i SE - e91 '07, 325i Coupe '93.

Prev:
e46 328i SE Touring, 330Ci, 318Ci.
e39 523i SE.
e36 325i Coupe *2, 323i SE, 316iSE.
e30 325iSE 2dr, 320i Conv, 320i 2dr, 316i.

Looks like the wrong photo was submitted for the interior shot. Definetly not orginal wheels. Looks ropey, definetly not worth 3k, maybe €800.

Didn't even flick though the pics, when I saw the reg I thought someone might know it, hence the post.  Doesn't bode well if they put in a VW interior shot though.

@BP - I had emailed him the link to your site for reference info as a starter for him so he wasn't going in blind.

Thanks for the feedback - anyone know of a proper 318is going locally, could send him the info

Just so I am clear in my head - are these the two engines from the 318?  BP - maybe you have a better image of the 8V somewhere - BTW I did link to one off you site.

8V M40


16V M42
