Welcome back Arman. I don't know if you know that I lost my E30 a few months back:

So seeing yours definitely makes it nostalgic. Your car definitely looks very nice. Actually, in the US a 318i/318iS is more preferable than the 325i that I got. I was actually looking for a good example until I came across the 325i, which ended being too good to past up.

I think the biggest thing with those cars are the Timing Chain. So make sure you have that replace or check to see if it has been replaced. And of course, as with all BMWs make sure you pay close attention to the thermostat, the water pump, and the radiator.

I heard a lot of E30 M3 parts fit for that car

. Keep us updated!

Congralutions on the purchase!!!

P.s. Alpine White is an awesome color!

(Okay, I am a bit bias too.)
