That's masochistic right there. Why would you do it and know of the BMW shit that it comes with.

We had a F56 Mini. Lots of little problems. First name basis with my service advisor, though he said ours was THE WORST F56 he's seen.

I fucking LOVE BMW!

R53s are more reliable than the newer minis.
First hand experience from a r53 owner :)

I only went through $5000 in warranty on my F56 in the 4 year lease, ain't nothin but a peanut.

Don't actually know what the dollar amount was, but probably not far off.

Front calipers seized (new caliper, discs, pads)
Rear calipers seized (new caliper, discs, pads)
Headlight trim broke
Turbo pressure sensor replaced
HVAC system repair work 2x
Upper engine mount
Lower engine mount
Cowl replaced
Hatch seal replaced

Driving the 1.5t when the pressure sensor died was interesting. Zero boost so it made maybe 80hp? Had to downshift to maintain 100km/h on hwy 1.
Car was parked inside as well, not like it was exposed to the elements.

Was it a 14/15? Those were notorious for being no bueno. I had a 16 and now the 20 with 0 issues.

It was 16

Overall the condition is good, I've been looking for a 318/325is for a long time and this is the best out of all the ones I looked at. The problem I've found with buying an e30 is that when you find one you like, that looks and drives decent, you need to pull the trigger. I responded to the cl ad 21 minutes after it was posted and he had over 150 emails that night, multiple offers well over asking, some guys were offering to pay out my deposit and then some. He was kicking himself for not asking more but lucky for me I got my deposit in first and he was an honest guy.
With the car being on the island, and my work schedule I felt that there wasn't any time for a PPI. So the car feels good but compared to my e91 I don't really enjoy driving it... yet. Funny enough I'm taking it in for a PPI next Friday (Post Purchase Inspection) and I've already placed an order on a bunch of parts.
My initial impression is: As much as I've lusted over this car, now having it and driving it I think I'm getting older and maybe looking for different things out of cars. I also have an AE86 that needs work to get it back on the road so there's a good chance I give up on my dream of having an e30 as a weekend car. We'll see.

e30's are heartbreakers. I've tried twice, and both times have been burned by hidden damage and rust.

Both times I bought in the heat of the moment. First time we jumped on a ferry the next day, raced to port alberni, bought it in the rain behind an HA clubhouse in about 10 minutes and raced back to the ferry. Ultimately that car hid all kinds of body issues (though in retrospect not as bad as I found out they could be)

Didn't learn lesson

Second one I bought, seller posted locally and too cheap. I won the race to the car because it was almost around the corner from me. Again basically bought it sight unseen, and this time it was even worse. Absolutely rotten behind the fenders.

Never again - if I ever own another E30, it will have been thoroughly inspected on a lift, by a pro, without the big rush. I'll also happily pay a premium for a sorted one. The buy in price is peanuts compared to a body restoration.

None of this has anything to do with your car, it looked to be in great shape, it's just my rant about what the "market" (especially IS cars) has done to the buying experience for these cars. the FOMO is real.

You probably know my brother ae86envy. If you're into that market too, you know it's exactly the same.

it will be fine.

that's the year to get (I think) does it have the 3 spoke facelift steering wheel?

I love R53's. I'm looking for an excuse to get one. Maybe winter beater 21/22

Yes, this one has a 3-spoke steering wheel.

Did a PPI on it just to be on the safe side and engine his 175psi across all four cylinders. The only real issue on this particular car was the drivebelt had to be replaced before it snapped and the front left shock was leaking oil. Otherwise, it was solid all around.

Timeless!

2005 and first half of 2006 are the top years for that version.

I'd be happy with a 2004 though.

28 years ago this day, my Infiniti was purchased and signed for by its original owner.

R.I.P Mr Alf Hansen. I'm keeping her going when you had to stop. She is fed and exercising daily. She is happy now and wants to keep going and I will keep her going.

Special shout to James Rose for babysitting her :lol

Hmm night mode on S20 FE makes the whites overblown. I miss my Pixel phones. Anyway, we need a G80 M3 and Westopher for the next pic of this.


Oh and Spugen is too fast. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ff7bfb4d7c.jpg

Got my new summer wheels on today. 11-12lbs lighter than stock.

I want in next time

That's a rare colour. Good job on buying red. The wheels look great too.

Is DWS06 "plus" a new revision over the DWS06?

Yeah, not a lot of details on them yet as they came out in late January. Continental claims a 10% improvement in wet and snow conditions (https://www.tirereview.com/continent...ct-dws06-plus/). Mostly seems a half update forced by the competition as Michelin, Goodyear, BFGoodrich, and Bridgestone all had really competitive tires in this class.

I've run the DWS and DWS06 on my TSX and have always been happy with them - they're usually 2-3lbs lighter than the competition which I like as well.

Looking sharp in red/gold there supafamous

But who else did a double take at the username to see if it was Acura604 :ifyouknow:

^ Guilty

lol... thought he wrapped his car red.
