Default The BMW E30 is gone, Now a 6th gen owner

Last Friday my much beloved 1989 325is was picked up by its new owner. I had invested way to much money and time in that car. I got what I was asking she now lives in San Jose.

I bought a 1997 Civic EX coupe last week with 123,000 miles, 1 owner, black, dam near every option but automatic. I'm leaving her stock getting old ya see can't take the rough ride anymore and loud exhaust of the BMW.
I still can't feel that mad "V-Tech" everyone is talking about

See ya guys around if I have any questions, its been a busy semester 19 units.

I reall did not care about the miles as long as it was taken care of. Try finding a un modified civic in California nearly proved in impossilbe feat in itself. I looked at countless 6th gens spent nealy a month looking. I found the one I have now the price was cheap and it was one owner.

congrats. I always liked that version civic in black. 123,000 miles is nothing on a civic. It should last you a long time.

How is the 318is holding up. I had a few reasons for selling my E30 the injector ticking was driving me crazy, the joys of the M20 motor h: That and the driveshaft took a dump and I did not want to fix it

I had the dealer run the VIN and it goes in next week for an emissions recall. New plugs, cap, rotor, wires and a oil change. I was puzzled when they told me this. Its all free and it does not even matter how many miles as long as it was under 150k if I recall

The former owner always had a indpendent shop work on it after the warranty period. She was suprised her self when i told her about the recall.
