Should be able to pick up a nice E30 325, maybe a sport for that price ?
Previously owned loads of old E30s, E34s, a few E36s, E32s, E39s and an E38.

Currently in a diesel Audi - miss me old E30's....

Get an old boxy Volvo 740 turbo, then whack the boost up. New intercooler and some decent piping/exhaust should easilly see 300+bhp on stock internals winkeye
Not in E30s any more :(

Porsche 944 is tempting but it must be costly to service it, even if your doing it yourself right?

Not much different from an E30 or an E36 imo.
