As my girlfriend is a real E30 lover as I am, I thought it might be nice to post something about the latest car she bought. We went to pick it up last saturday and it's a wonderfull car to drive with.

It's a 318i convertible, neongreen, special design edition (limited to 250 cars in this color), colored wheels (origin) and some options.

As he was put online for the salesadd:

Minorities:

- Some rust (the chassis under the doors + fenders in the rear + plate where the battery is located)
- backwindow needs to be replaced
- the thingy to pull
- dent in the hood

planned changes:

- lower her
- new tires
- extra set of wheels (larger as 14")
- rebuild her to aerodynamik or m-tech2
- other backwindow or softtop
- hardtop for the winters
- new antenna
- get lost of the "pull tingy"
- white markers

after we got her home, I made this as extra set of pictures (when it finally stopped raining):

So, does she have taste or does she have taste (she ownes the white 316i m-tech2 as well ;) )

mine had the choice to pick whatever she wanted, but seen she loves E30's as well and seen that I couldn't find anything against an E30 vert but so many things against others...
