welcome,

buy on condition not mileage.
don't bother paying a premium for a "sport" instead get a nice clean 325iSE & spec it up if you want a "top of the range" e30.
if/when you go to look at one then have a dam good look round it for rust as there WILL be some on it.
if budget allows & you want something a bit different then have a looka for the like 's of alpina, hartge etc.
if you need any help or advise then just ask.

buy the time you have got yourself an e30 & been on here a while your wallet/bank balance will take a hammering.

anyway, have a look round the place to give yourself plenty of ideas.

+1, I'd rather have a poverty spec 316i with hardy any rust, than a 325i being held together by filler.

Where are you located?

A zoner local to you may be willing to hold your hand whilst looking at E30's...

What does Hellaflush mean ? I have seen the term used a bit on that sad w4nker infested site called StanceC0cks

in context from google

'After eating only meat for a whole week, when Chad went to take a shit, he needed a hellaflush to wash it all down the toilet.'

I was trying to be more subtle with my defamation but that was the general jist of it.

It's all to do with how your wheels sit in the arches. This handy diagram (which I knocked up in 5 minutes) should explain:

Do you have a diagram that illustrates 'GAPE' or should I ask Rav ?
