Anyone ever had one? Are they any good to drive? Looking for a cheap rwd car to arse about in.
Did they come with LSD as standard, if not could one from E30 M3 be fitted?

Ive had loads of them, Sports and convertibles. All fookin great fun, allbeit a little thristy. Check for rusty roof panel areas, inside the boot corners near the rear clusters, and a good history. A 140k one with F bmw SH will be better than an 80k with no history! Take a look on www.e30zone.co.uk.

My brothers 325i sport and he might just sell it for the right price

got to say it's one of the best cars ive ever driven. Not super fast but a doddle to throw into a power slide and keep it there The noise from that stainless is just spot on

Perfect.
Was lookin at a very sheddy 2wd saff but my mate has one and another mate has my near perfect 350bhp old one so i would be jealous (and swamped with problems i'm sure)
Beemer sounds the nuts too, just hope it can take my abusive, 100% sideways style!! LOL. See em about 1500 notes for proper tidy ones now too.
