I'm looking at getting a pet project going and looking for people who've been there or have some advice for car potential.
At this stage I'm pretty sold on a E30 (early 3 series BMW) in a 2 door model (though I would take a 4 door if a nice one came along at the right price).
Does anyone have any experience with these cars?
They can be found with a variety of engines and the 325i (iS, iX) is the tastiest although pricey for a project base.
Spares and junked vehicles should be in easy supply and 318i's in good order can be found at good prices, would they make a good starting point.

I only want the car for a fun, reliable mode of transport and of course for the fun of working on it.
