View Full Version : Looking for a e30
tsweers89 12-03-2007, 01:58 PM What the title says. I am in the market for a e30. Looking for something that is reliable and can get me through the winter. Was looking at one but didnt get the cash in time. Anyone have one or now of one let me know.

What's the gas mileage like on those? I'm debating on whether or not to dump my Subaru (2.5L, AWD, 23MPG) for either an AWD E30, E30 318, or maybe a E36 318ti.
Shivan000 12-14-2007, 05:32 PM There are two around where I work.
In Edwardsburg, MI there is a really clean, rust free E30 318i automatic. I passed because its only a 318 and its an auto. Damn good shape, though.
In Elkhart, IN there is a really rusted out E30 for $1500, I never stopped to look 'cause I was never interested. I could, though. I could go take pictures of them both if you want.
That might be too far for you, but hey you never know.
cat97628 12-14-2007, 06:01 PM i went and looked at the one in the link back in the summer. They wanted 5500 for it back then and it was a huge pile of crap. It has front end damage and the paint is all messed up. I stopped looking for clean E30's in the midwest and started looking out on the west coast. From what i saw they are cheaper and cleaner out there. good luck anything worth looking at will be way over priced here in the midwest.
tsweers89 12-18-2007, 03:17 PM i dont know about cheaper. It seem everything is more expensive on the coast then by me. Better condition most def
CraigBMW2002 12-18-2007, 11:18 PM You are 7½ months too late for our E30. We owned a red '89 325i two-door hardtop (5-speed) for 9½ years. We took excellent care of this Bimmer. Sold it for three grand in May. You can find good E30s in the Midwest - you just have to look long and hard to get a nice one. If you would like pictures of this Bimmer just email me.

tsweers89 12-19-2007, 06:07 PM Its def hard to find a good e30 in the Midwest. Its going to be used as a DD so its going to be put threw winter.

How about a nice Accord. :stickoutt
I got run off the road by a truck this morning. The back of the trailer hit my a-pillar and blew out 3 windows, and sent me 180 degrees into the ditch. I was fine, no bumps or anything, but the car did not fair so well. I'm hoping the insurance company gets a move on and lets me know what's going on with it. Lucky for me the guy driving the truck stopped, or I would have been SOL as far as insurance.
