Yep, I sold the 318iS last thursday and have bought myself a beautiful S-Reg 318iS 4dr in Morea Green. Net cost of the upgrade...about 2k.
The E36 is definitely slower on take-off but at speed, it kicks the E30s ass. Smoother ride too, heavier car I suppose has something to do with that. I get 2 extra doors, half-leather sports seats, A/c, ASC and full M3 kit.
So farewell, boys and girls...thanks to all who knowingly (or not) helped me during my E30 ownership years.
E30 lives on in my memories only..and photos.

I'll be back when I get that E30 M3 Evo
Later...
Pat.
