Hi everyone just signed up as I'm interested in buying an E30!
Just wanted to know what the bhp and torque figures where for the 318, 320 and 325's were.
Also anything to look out for when I go to look at one?
I tried searching but couldn't find anything!
Thanks! :D

obvious things are rust. rear archs scuttle panel etc. depending on age and convictions etc the best is by far the m3 but then you mite be looking at a car for track or a daily drive im sure you'll find plenty on here to keep you entertained. i'd almost certainly say, be different do something new.

Hi, thanks for all the replies!
Saw this e30 convertable on pistonheads http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/470475.htm Is it someones off here? Does the price seem fair? I know its hard to tell cos there isn't much info in the ad! I also got them to send me some more pics. What is that over the rear speaker in this pic?
