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.

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.

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.

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

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.

I'd be happy with a 2004 though.

Figured I get it washed while on my lunch break. Great weather.  
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

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.

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.
