E30’s aren’t unfun by any means. Just because they’re not fast in a straight line doesn’t mean that the car wouldn’t run circles around a Camarobird on a real course.
Werd, never buy from a dealer unless absolutely necessary. At NJMP, one of my ignition coils went bad. I figured it’d be around $100 a coil at the BMW dealership. I called the local NAPA. The coil was $37, where the dealer was around $98 or so. Since the NAPA ones are the same EXACT parts at the dealer (has BMW part number on them, as well as the Bosch/Bremi number), I bought the three they had in stock since it’s a somewhat common problem. Win.
