1. How did you come to the decision of buying this car?
I had wanted an E30 since high school. I lusted after a clean one for about 6 years and bought this the day after Halloween 2018. The craigslist post had only been up about a day and I was one of the first people to look at it. The owner told me he had bought the car a year prior from a BMW master mechanic in Texas. I drove the car about three blocks and fell in love.
2. What has your ownership experience been like?
Ownership has been a dream. The master mechanic had swapped in a manual transmission that shifted smooth. I’ve had to do lots of work on it to keep it running, but it’s been a great way to learn about cars.
3. What is your fondest memory with this car?
The first time I adjusted the valves was the first time I’d ever opened an engine. After adjusting them, I had made the car sound awful. It ended up taking 4 more attempts before I was able to figure out my mistakes. In the end I figured it out, but I hated this car for about hours.
4. Why do you love cars?
I think they’re the perfect combination of artistry and practicality. Nothing better than a good looking van.
