I have a 1991 318is that I have been driving for the last seven years , I haven't put any money into it execpt for the regular stuff like tires , plugs and once ball joints. The odometer stopped counting miles at 207080 miles wich was about two months ago, anyone else have high miles or even higher than what I got, man it runs great.

I had a 325e with just over 225k on it and it ran like a CHAMP! I'd love to be able to have another, however . . . .*le sigh* I am fixated with another BMW love at the current time :(

Sold or still selling rather...a 85'318I with over 300k and it will still catch a second. My daily is a 91' 325I with 202k. Also have an 88' 325IS and a 92' blk on blk e30 convertable. Oh yeah and there is one of those e36's currently in my garage getting ready for a clutch.

Not yet but a 5 bay garage is my plan with a lift. I do have a 6 car driveway with some grass out front. There is an F-250 parked there.

My 87 325IS is no longer with us, with 250K on it the valve guides went to crap and I didn't have it in me to drop in a new lump. But, the guy who bought it from me benefitted from years of upgrades, and had just wrecked his own E30 with a brand new motor. A match made in heaven:

Eibach Pro-Kit springs
Bilstein sport shocks
Suspension Tech swaybars, 23mm front and 17mm rear.
"Butt Strut" rear subframe connector
BMP racing front and rear shock tower braces
rear E36 cabrio shock mounts
BMP racing/K&N cone filter
Conforti chip
UUC street-evo short shift kit
factory exhaust with gutted cats
old school TSW wheels
Schrick camshaft

I've had four E30's, my favorite being an Alpineweiss '90 325is. My wife currently uses a Bronzit '87 325A four door with 84K original miles as her daily driver.

Mine is not high miles, but I have the exact same car as you - 1991 318is, but it only has 73k :)

YAY! I've had a few E30's too. Here's my latest one. I just got it back from the body shop this week, so we still have a lot of reassembling to do. :)

It's a 91 318 with an M52 swap and S52 cams. My hubby has done all of the work except the paint.

Here's a pic of my BeastMW. Started life as a 325is and things got a bit out of hand (Alan!).
The mod list is extensive, but the results are worth it.

what do you have a 4 car garage?
Alright Wayne, if I am lucky I will score this house I looked at today and guess what? It has 4 garages! Two with the house and a separate two car garage. The separate one looks like the ceilings are about 12 foot and tons of space. It will be perfect for a lift! On top of that there a huge upstairs room for me to do whatever. I should be getting a new welder and a large air compressor too! With all that I should be able to get some work done. If I can work this out then everyone will have a friend with a shop. Wish me luck!:D

I've got an Alpine White II 89 325is. I posted a few pics in the picture of the month thread. I'll try to get some more up here when I get a chance.

For any of you e30 owners you should also keep your eyes open for the annual e30 picnic here in the PNW. Last year we had 169.5 e30s and will probably have more this year. This will also be the first year that it is a 2 day event. Day 1 will be a tech day and day 2 will be a get together with a drive.
