Went to see this yesterday and had a wee poke about and a couple of blasts in it.

1989 E30 316i 2 Door saloon

VERY cheap!

Its got slight surface rust on the rear arches and a couple of scabs on the O/S door. The O/S wing is holed too so i will remove this and have a good poke about. One wee hole on the N/S of the scuttle panel too but thats easy sorted.

Its lowered 40mm and has an Mtec spoiler. Electrics work fine too.

Heres a couple pics.

Wheels are not really to my liking but will do for now.

If the doors are fucked, the chances are there's more rust too...

Lift the carpets & check the floor for rust, very common on these.

What's your reasons for buying? Looks an alright car, but can't imagine it being a "go-er" .

I had a 325, it was funny for a while, cant imagine the smaller engine ones being that good tbh. Mine was rotten in many places!

Ive always wanted an E30 but too many points means a 1600 is tops for me.

First RWD car so i reckon its ideal.

Doors are fine. Just scabs.

Make sure you check the floors for rust, mine had no surfice rust, it was falling to bits underneath.
