im seriously considering selling off my fiesta and getting another e30. well not considering... i am unless something comes up. before i go diving at the first thing i see i want to know a few things. my last car was an e30 318i which was a huge pos. what are the typical things to look for on an e30? id also like to know the torque and hp to the wheels of the e30 320i, 323i and 325i autos. also what kind of autobox is in the 320, 323 and 325? last but not least.... what size wheels can you fit on an e30 without arch problems? im guessing 17s. i will want to lower it.

if all goes according to plan when i get my moms volvo on the road ill be able to sell the fiesta shortly after and with the money from that buy a 6 cylinder e30, hopefully a 325i. im keeping my fingers crossed hoping ill have some change left over to buy a cd player and maybe some speakers. ill just do a custom rear section on the exhaust till i can get a full system and de-cat it.

325= 167hp/160ish tq?
320/323 are euro models..don't know.
All those models use ether 5 speed auto or manny I'm pretty sure.
