...Get a call from my dad, 24 hrs later i own a 1984 e30 318i, one owner, 44k miles, full bm history too. Having had a few bmw's in my time i thought it would be fun to go really retro...fingers crossed. Not sure how long to keep it, would anyone be interested in it, if i chose not to keep it? No pics yet, its green in colour...

That'll be a nice motor for the right person, shame it's got too many doors for most.
