Lovely car has a cult following and easy to maintain and upgrade
Things to watch out for is rust but can be easy to fix.
Engine swaps are easy to do from one E30 to another E30.
Most would say the 316 engine is underpowered but some love it, i havent drove a 1.6 in them so cant say tbh.
Parts are cheap in them either second hand or new.
If your interested in them join E30owners.com and you get great advice there and new members always welcome 0 -

Hey I am Lady30 on there
DaveMsport is yer man on the Owners for the engine conversions if you have any questions.
I have heard of some young lads having problems trying to get insurance on the E30's. You could try and get a classic policy with first ireland but you need to have another policy on your own name to qualify for one
It will all work out 0 -

It will all work out I'm the lad who wants an e30 looking exactly (not exactly but pretty close ) like yours :pac: Need to use the Aviva deal tbh, no other way of getting cheap insurance and a full license. 0 -

Looks ok
like to see it to make sure theres no rust on it in usual places
interior ok but if you like i can get you leather seats for her
Its a auto so usually they aint abused like manuals tbh
Okay, so that's one good thing about autos :pac:
The interior is okay, but it's just a horrible beige. One of the reasons I was looking to get a black car is because most of them have nice interiors.
There's rust on the bottom of the wings near the bonnet which can't be good.
It also has a sunroof but no pictures of it. A rusty E30, with a sunroof, without pictures cannot be a good thing. 0 -

Wouldnt worry about rust at the bottom of the wings tbh as there easy treated
Sunroof can be replaced but check mechanism and seals, cage etc so make sure they are ok
You can get new interior in very cheap so wouldnt let that put you off it
Most important thing is to check for rust and walk away if bad !0 -
