That's in great condition!! Thanks for the link, I'm glad there are people keeping their eyes open :)

I want something a little newer though, and chesty is right... automatic wouldn't be much fun!! Though a tranny swap could be a possibility.

Yea I dont feel like swapping my limited slip in the middle of january [:0]

I think that car looks absolutely AWESOME, but yes, I do want at least an IS - hopefully one with the european bumpers.

Thank's DOT for your crazy requirements on little european cars - but lack of requirements on the millions of SUV's [screwy] [screwy] [screwy]

I guess DOT gets something from the sales of gas, wait, I am wrong here, I think weight of the car is proportial to the amount you have to pay in taxes for the roads. There you go, lack of requirements on SUVs is just to make more money.

I really don't understand the point of the E30's DOT bumpers... the plastic ones are 9mph impact - that's more than what an SUV has to be - NOTHING!! SUV's are considered light duty trucks and barely have any standards to meet.

Why do you think companies like volvo, bmw, and japanese companies like infiniti, etc. are building suv's that are safe, drive very well, etc.? Becuase european's standards are much higher than US DOT standards. Of course you have to pay the gas guzzler tax on a BMW station wagon that gets 28 mpg on the highway, but you don't on an suv that gets literally 10 mpg on the highway (READ: Excursion) becuase the one is considered a truck. At least the foreign SUV's get >20mpg highway!!

I guess the person behind the whole DOT decisions really likes SUV and doesn't like the look of e30s. The gas guzzler tax is just rediculous. Nowadays SUVs don't really have an advantage in anything except maybe better offroad abilities that you will never have to use in the city. Its not like you can pack more things in it or sit more people, just waste more gas and polute a lot more. Look at the new Hummer, practically no offroad ability, eats double portions of gas for breakfast, lunch and dinner and besideds everything, is not that big.

enthusiast, that bike looks way nicer than it really is. A lot of people like 600cc sport bikes, but IMO, 600cc is for kids. My dad used to have this Kawasaki ZR-7 (750cc), which is a naked street/sport bike that I used to ride around the neighborhood (just testing it out to see if bikes were for me or not). The power was pretty good, but if you're gonna get a crotch rocket, you might as well get one that goes sickness fast.

that 325 at the top on ebay says 325i but only revs to 4500..

i would love a road bike.. but i think that i would get disowned by my parents if i actually got one..

oh and if you come accross a e30 325i or 325is in australia let me know.. [:)]

The Euro 325is has a different body kit than the IS you guys get in the states. It's more of a "boy racer" look, similar to the E30 M3 with the big rear-deck spoiler, chunky chin-spoiler, and side-rails. Have a look around on Google and you'll see what I mean.
