Hi,
I am fairly new to the forum, I was just wondering if anyone knows how to go about finding a good condition E30 in Canada. My first E30 was a 325is it was in great condition until I hit ice, and wrote it off. I am now searching local adds show very little for E30s any Ideas?

Time for an iX then :D
Welcome to the zone. Have spotted a few E30s on eBay originating from Canada. Can you import from US? - Cal. or warmer climate where roads aren't salted. Better still, an excuse for a road trip!!

Are you a member of the Car Club in Canada and which province are you in?

I know a few guys in the Ontario chapter of the club that might be able to help, if you are that side of the country. :D

US cars must be able (may no longer be the case) to survive a 5mph crash without deforming the bumpers, hence the ugly yank bunmpers which have a damper behind them

I am in Saskatchewan, (Center of Canada) As far as importing thats kind of what I was wondering, I looked for imports from the states, but found no sites (anyone know of anything). I am also not a part of the Canada car club in fact didnt know there was one so that may be a start for me. I would love a Bmw not from here just because I know how brutal the winters can be. My first e30 was a US car but I took it from the second owner, so I got no information on its origin.

Thanks for the comments.

Regards

Kyle.

Just look on US car sites, Ebay and the likes... Obviously trying to keep it as northern as possible! (I imagine its a long drive from even north US to central canada!).

Anything without rust is a bonus! (Although US cars dont rust as much.)
