It's an E30, it's an BMW. It's not a japfag POS whatever 200$ buys you which you slap on cut springs and a shitty primer paint job.
It's already RWD, so it'd be a good drifter
As for maintance, check out the cooling system--Water Pump, Thermostat and Radiator and set aside 350$ if you are a DIY'er as it will eventually fail..and you can kiss your engne bye bye.
Also, if it's an automatic, I'd recomond doing an ATF flush ASAP as BMW uses "Life Time Fluid" which is not really life time. therefore theres a high precentage chance the fluid in your E30 is orginal from the time was purchased
Now, don't add stickers and don't put on it a fart can. Enjoy German vechicals, it's a huge difference from whatever the Japanese offered the same year as your E30
