318i or 325i? - BimmerFest BMW Forum
Jul 6, 2012 · the yanks will tell you otherwise, but theres really nothing wrong with the 318i E30, so long as its manual. the auto versions are way less efficient than thier 325i cousins. steer clear of the M10 engined ones though (prefacelift) and get an M40. yes its a timing belt, but they are dead easy to replace, anyone can do it with very basic mechanical experience.

how to replace the convertible top on 325i E30

We started by removing the convertible enclosure top and then folded the top down.
