Am I crazy for wanting to sell my 98 civic and get an E30? I made the dumb move of buying my civic before it had the 100k mile service (or 130000km) so a bunch of expensive stuff needs doing like timing belt, water pump, suspension that I don't really want to dump money into unless I have to.

I've been looking at e30s on kijiji and it's making me lust after them. There seems to be a fair amount of impeccable, or at least well maintained specimens considering I live in a province with almost no affordable fun cars.

Go check out that first one and if it's in reasonable shape buy it. Calypso red is by far the best color on e30s, and you get the gas efficient m42 also.

Do give over. The new owner is clearly one to embellish his purchases (a variation of old "the sales guy said he'd get fired if his boss knew the discount he'd given me!" routine) and the remainder is inflammatory small town reporting of the gently caress-yeah! variety. Historic cars are sold at auction every day and to people all round the world. What concerns BMW is money and shareholders, and with income down by one third last quarter they have plenty to think about without wasting time sticking it to a collector because he's the 'wrong' nationality. I mean, come on.

Besides, if you read the article it sounds like they helped him restore it, by helping him get rare authentic parts.

Does the 318ti have the same problem with the subframe failure?

Did you try loosening your parking brake?
