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.
