Proves the build/panel quality of BMW - A GM car would struggle to be that straight under the bumpers after 2 years - let alone 22!!

318is is the one to have, pretty sure a 325 will drift well though. E30's are tail happy anyway.

BMW's do rot as well - I've got a 1990 E30 sitting in my drive and it need lots and lots of love (read: new panels). It was holed to the point where it failed MoT... Sorted now.
Build quality on the other hand is superior to that of a Nova. Doesn't stop me loving my Nova's though. :d

Do all the 325 E30's have a LSD or was it only the sports? ( my mum had a diamond black F reg with OZ Saturn wheels, gota love the E30's )

Sports came with LSD's standard. It was an optional extra on most other E30's.
