Hi, My name is Paul & i'm new to the forum. I have had an E36 coupe for the last few years, but that has recently been written off after a neighbour reversed off his drive, straight into my car which was parked outside my house!
I'm in the market for a replacement, & i'm thinking of going old skool, a.k.a E30 325 Sport. Seen a few on pistonheads, but then looked on here & other members here have viewed them already & are in need of major work. I work for a main dealer in Kent, so getting parts for any future project should be no problem. Have to give my courtesy car, (E92 330i M-Sport) back soon, so i need to find one quite sharpish!!

Good luck pal! Welcome... ye, people on the Zone go and check out cars on a frequent occasion. Did you see the dolphin grey one on pistonheads for 2.5k, apparently a grandads...:chuckle:... ye rust trap apparently. Could be sorted tho, but it is a slush box!

Go for it dude, if you can find yourself a nice sport! Dont expect to find a good deal relatively quick. Sometimes it takes people ages to find a good'un! And thats in the UK! Try Jersey, still aint ever seen a sport for sale, but only ever seen a few too!

Once again welcome to what could be your newest addiction (and i'm not joking :rofl:)!

Welcome to the zone :thumb:
there are some clean sports out there,but tread carefully as there are some rotten dogs.
main issue is rust hiding under the tech-2 kit,
i was in a similar situation,i wanted a sport but the most of them were rotton or thrashed (i live near brum)
in the end i went for a clean rust free 325i se and im glad i did,im in the process of adding all the sport extras (kit,seats,diff,etc)
for a 'good' sport there is a price tag to it,but then again with the cash flow situation in this country you may get a bargain
Good luck!
