However i cant get it to pickup faster than the Ford:( EDIT: This is Austin

    Bmw 316 1980

    It is 140k sir. The gearbox is included in the Engine. It's a Semi Automatic as i recall. Can one like find a E30 for 700k? With original parts. Which year do you think this car is? The owner says it is a 1980 but registered in 1995.

    Bmw 316 1980

    Hi Guys thanks for the replies. I found a 2.5L 6 in line Z4 engine and a E36 2L 6 in line engine for 1.4 lacks. Is it possible to swap a E36 Engine in to a E30? What would be the cost like? This car is a Modgaged car. And it's at one of my friends place. The oener is not paying so they are selling the car. The current situation is that they are willing to give the car for 500k with the German engine. I can even get it for like 4.75 lacks. Guys i really like this car. Please advice the best solution.

    Bmw 316 1980

    It is a 1980 model. Thats what the owner and the book says. The owner also said that he swapped the engine because of the expense for the BMW engine parts. Thanks a lot guys. I will keep away from this then. I am in urgent need of a car so i have no choice but to go in for a Mini 1000;-).

    Bmw 316 1980

    This car is 500k and that is like my budget. I can go max about 5.75 Lacks. I am buying the car to use for at least 3 years. i have no thought to sell it as i love the E30. I am planning to give it a new coat of paint and fix the interior and all. So you guys don't recommend this at all? It is a 19-xxxx. This is also going to be my first car. Thanks.

    By chansteronline, shot with N95 at 2009-02-23 Hi Guys, Im planning to buy a car next month or so and im looking at this car since it is going for cheap. The problems (I think) are, It is a left handed vehicle converted to right hand It has a Toyota Corona 1600CC Petrol engine (Also has Gas) It has stayed at the same place for 5 months I don't know anything about cars but i have always loved the BMW 316 E30 and of course Rover Mini. Now i can afford one. please advice me. What will be the maintenance costs i will have to bare? Also there are about 6 buttons aside the gear lever, Will they work with the Toyota Engine? The car's AC is working and it has power shutters and hey say it is full option. Thanks in Advance.
