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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
