Oh dear.

1. Have you stored any remaining savings into trust funds, investments or savings accounts?
2. Is there any money in your account or wallet or home? Put that into above.
3. Do you have a wife/partner/girlfriend? Kids?
4. How much room do you have at your house?


E30 addictions are a serious mental issue that is common with many of the forums users. It involves spending every penny available for your next E30 fix. Any family maintenance costs will then be reprioritised into the 'hording' addiction which will vary from anything M3 to rot-free touring tailgates. This will inevitably end up filling your garage, driveway, garden and living room. You'll then progress to a home DIY mechanic that is attempting engineering feats well beyond your skill level and knowledge relying soley on the words of other addicts hoping to somehow imagine/live their fix through yourself.



Otherwise, have fun with your beast! They're great cars and its hard to find a replacement once you've owned one.

Having previously owned a 325i SE more door when they first arrived, and then selling it, I hankered for an E30. I got mine when an opportunity came along - without making the checks recommended by the guys here, but thank the lord it is incredibly solid!

Your car looks great. Welcome to the zone, which is brilliant for getting some sound advice, and enjoy your car :D
