Title: My new daily driver...

Nothing wrong with it, 'cept the do-do brown interior.  1980's rephezent yo!

That was the same model that got me into bm's in 1979  [thumbsup]

It got me right bollocking by the plant manager  :-[

WHY?

Because I was a test driver at FoMoCo. [thumbsup]

318?  325e?  The second generation 3 series will always be one of my favorites.

Only 41,000 on the odo?  That's great!

Fun car.   [thumbsup]

Thanks!

It's a 318i, with the super low-tech M10.  I'm planning on either swapping it out for the big six (3.5 out of a 535/735) or building the m10 and boosting it.

Twas super cheap for the condition, I'll have less than 2k in it after I replace the HG (found coolant in oil).  I figured it was worth paying a bit extra for it, as the beat up ones with 200k and a broken odometer sell for 1500 all day long.

Trying to find a pair of sport seats for it now.....and in the same color.  Not proving to be easy.

5.0 Ford w/a World-Class T5 will fit.  We measured it up in a 1985 325e but never went through w/the project...

Had one of these shortly after HS...sold it for a song because I thought the starter was bad (was $389 back then for a starter) but it turned out to be a single wire that was shorting. *sigh*

Beautiful.  I miss my E30's (both of them were '87 325e).  Glad you got the 318, as it's probably as fast as an "e" engine, but gets better gas mileage and is lighter weight.
