Hello L4Players,
I've recently been looking into getting an E30 BMW coupe or sedan. The design is totally timeless and has been one of my favorites for years. I'm not interested in an E30 M3, I'm looking more towards a project car I can pick up cheaply in decent condition and build up. I can totally see myself building up a modernized, serious sleeper.
Some questions I had:
-Are engine swaps recommended over keeping the original motor in the car?
-Would an LS swap be sacrilege? If so, what would you guys say is a prime motor to cram in?
-Considering that they're older cars, what kind of maintenance records should I reasonably expect to see?
Thank you!
