well i learned today that my co-worker mechanic dude has an 87 315i and he's willing to sell it. its got like 109000 miles on it, 5sp, he said it grinded 3rd but its still driveable, i think it leaks gas and its red with original wheels. its sounding pretty good to me. hes gonna get back to me with a price but he said he bought it for 2000 a while ago. oh its also in atlanta but thats only a short tow away.
im guessing its a 318i which is totally doable. its supposed to be more "tossable" than the 6cyl cars, better balanced. when you get more info let me know.
yeah, i've got a guy that wants to buy a ton of stuff off of it. and he will pay for shipping to ireland. going for that usdm look i guess on his coupe quattro. i dont know if the junkyard will day a car with no lights and no interior and crap.
